Sam Amico: If Warriors were to make trade, it'd have to involve contract of either Richard Jefferson or Andris Biedrins, league sources say. Twitter @SamAmicoFSO

Would love to get someone like Klay Thompson as our SG (or 6th man) but can't contend with that deal.

I like it more than facebook at least. At least i can filter out my loser friends talking about their guns being taken away and their kids in kindergarten even though they're 21-23, lol.

There have been talk that this has no teeth because Golden State loves Klay and thinks he's a budding star. I don't blame them. Klay is a fucking beast. Gordon is always injured.

With Gordon's knee issue there's no way I'd deal Klay for him.

Maybe the knee injury is real and chronic, but I can't shake the feeling Gordon is just sandbagging -- still butthurt over being traded to New Orleans.
 
If you could pick 1 player who is a lock to be traded at this year's deadline then who is it?

JJ Redick for me.

I would feel the same. He will have a 6 million cap hold. Basically meaning we would have 8-10 million cap space if we renounce everyone else.

I would actually like to do a sign and trade with hickson this summer.
 
I don't think the question was asking who we'd trade for mags, just what player will be traded on the deadline.
 
Why would JJ agree to any trade? Would the Blazers have to say "we're not going to play you the rest of the way and we're going to renounce your bird rights?

Little attention on Blazers at the deadline, but word around the league is a decent chance Portland has serious talks. Likely smaller stuff.

Well I think the Blazers should try to trade Hickson to the Thunder for Lamb. Why does JJ go for it you ask? Because he will have a damn good chance at a championship and that's the same reason the Thunder do it. Getting JJ would up there chances.

serious small talk? Sounds great to me! Any little excitement can end up important to us right now.

Scott Cooper is usually one of the more reliable guys. Who knows, maybe something will shake out.

You heard it here first, Luke Babbitt is being traded for a 4th round pick from 1984!
 
Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

Charlotte discussed Gerald Henderson for Timofey Mozgov (Denver) and J.J. Hickson (Portland) but talks gained no traction, sources tell Y!
 
Why the fuck would we say no to Henderson for Hickson?!?!?! Solves our 2/3 problem...
 
Seems very quite for trade deadline time. Maybe this is the reason:

When owners and players agreed to a new deal that ended the most recent lockout, the players insisted on not having a hard salary cap - like in the NFL - that teams could not exceed under any circumstance. In the name of leveling the playing field for big and small-market teams, the owners responded by getting new restrictions put in place to make it as painful as possible for teams who go over the cap to continue doing business that way for any length of time.
Under the previous agreement, if a team exceeded the luxury tax level by $4 million, it paid an additional $4 million in tax penalties. If it went over by $14 million, it paid $14 million in penalties.
Next season, because of various increases in penalties, that $4 million will cost a team $6 million. And the team that goes over by $14 million will be hit with a $26.25 million bill.
To make matters worse, any team that exceeds the cap ''apron'' - which is $4 million over the existing luxury tax level - is not allowed to bring in a player in a sign-and-trade deal. That team also will only be able to offer a three-year mid-level exception deal to a free agent rather than the four-year exception that teams under the apron can offer, putting them at a bargaining disadvantage on the open market.
And to top it all off, any team that has exceeded the cap in three of the previous four seasons starting in 2014-15 will be subject to ''repeater rates,'' which increase the penalties even further.
''Any well-managed team is going to think about the future consequences of their roster management,'' Stern said.
 
They wanted a first round pick for him, but sounds like they traded Markus Morris to make room for him.
 
wow!

Sacramento has traded forward Thomas Robinson to the Houston Rockets, league source tells Y Sports.

That's a big surprise! The #5 pick from last year's draft is already traded?
