Rumor Mill: Official thread

[Fez Hammersticks]

Btw, I'd put money that SAC was offering Hickson for Batum.

That's a heap of meh.

 

[KingSpeed]

Just saw tweet we want Aaron Brooks

 

[Mediocre Man]

Maybe Jimmer? How has he been playing? Is he hurt?

He sucks. He's too slow to be anything but a nice specialist in the NBA

Craig Hodges?

Jim Rome ‏ @jimrome

Josh Smith told me he had "mixed feelings" about Atlanta's announcement that they're unlikely to trade him.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

He's quicker than given credit for. He also tested out very well at the combine.

But I wouldn't trade Batum for him.

Deron is officially on the block...

**UPDATED NBA RUMORS**Source: Nets have "OFFICIALLY" put Deron Williams on the trading block (Lakers / Rockets / Mavs) have called today

 

[BBert]

From Alex Kennedy @ Hoopsworld: Sources confirm: Lakers, Wolves and Blazers discussing three-team deal. Michael Beasley to LA, Jamal Crawford to MIN, Steve Blake to POR.

I just threw up.

 

[magnifier661]

I told you of this sad day! Lakers are getting Howard and D. Will. Bank on it! Whoah is me!

 

[OneSport3]

We all agree Felton and Crawford have to go. If we suck because of Blake; just know that we'd still suck because of Felton and Crawford. At least we're moving people that cause drama and taking back somoene that will know their role and shoot the ball towards the hoop rather than away from it.

I live down here in LA and catch quite a few Lakers games. Blake may be shooting the ball towards the hoop, but most of those shots aren't going through the hoop nowadays.

Fuck this Portland needs to trade anything to get him

You fail to realize that Bynum is Jim Buss' guy. He will not trade Bynum for Howard. He doesn't see Howard as that big of an upgrade from Bynum.

 

[magnifier661]

Batum, Willaims, Felton and Matthews for Williams.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

But they seem too occupied with the thought of bringing Steve Blake back for Nate.

Steve. Fucking. Blake.

That would call for a boycott just to end the sell-out streak.

You're crazy! If he had the opportunity to get both D. Will and Howard, you think he's going to think twice about it?

 

[Mediocre Man]

Batum, Willaims, Felton and Matthews for Williams.

And multiple picks

 

[Mediocre Man]

Then get crazy and send LA and anything else we can find to Orlando for Howard

Wesley Matthews ‏ @wessywes2

Best luck to yall in all you do! RT @iHoop503: Hahaha tell em augie RT @Augiejuarez19: @wessywes2 u needa get traded

What if Wes is the cancer?

 

[RR7]

what about that would imply he is?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Perhaps that he's retweeting other people suggesting he needs to be traded. Why else would he do that unless he agrees?

 

[OneSport3]

Thats if he was a rational owner. I live in LA and all of my friends are Lakers fans. I listen to a lot of sports radio talk down here. People are fed up with Jim Buss, not Jerry Buss. Jim Buss is the same guy that forced Phil Jackson out. He drafted Bynum so he's not willing to trade him for Howard. If he wanted to trade Bynum for Howard, it would be done already.

I live in L.A. as well. I hear the same things you do, but if he has the opportunity to get the most dominant center in the league, then he will pull the trigger. Has been the Laker motto since their existence.

 

[RR7]

I don't think he would have typed the bets of luck to you in all you do line if he was wanting out, likely woudl have just retweeted it. And seems like people tweeted it to him in a way to say you suck.

Ahhh okay, that does make sense. I love Wes, so I'm glad you clarified it to me.

 

[Boise Blazer]

It is simply unreal that we cant find someone to take Felton for even and 2nd round pick.

We see how shitty he is. If we were willing to only accept a 2nd, why would anyone even bother.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Well someone could take a chance on him. You never know. Someone will sign him in the off season. It will interesting to see who takes that chance and for how much. Yikes.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Sports Biz Radio ‏@SBRadio

Blazers concerned Wallace will opt in to his $11M deal next season and if they can move him they will. Nets & Magic could be possibilitie

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Goodbye G-Dub:

ChrisBHaynes: RT “@WojYahooNBA: Portland and New Jersey are engaged in advanced talks on a deal that would send Gerald Wallace to the Nets.”
