Trade Deadline: Thursday, Feb 20, 12:00 Pacific

[Boise Blazer]

Blazers could use a Jason Thompson type.

Makes you wonder if there is another deal in the works for them

 

[RR7]

Blazers could use a Jason Thompson type.

Just thought the same. Wright and Barton for Thompson saves them about 3 million next season, which could help in re-signing Thomas.

Memphis and Minnesota have hit a logjam in talks involving Tayshaun Prince and Tony Allen for Chase Budinger and J.J. Barea, sources say.

Sam Amick @sam_amick
There's some suspicion on the Memphis side that Minnesota is trying to use this situation to improve its odds in another similar one.

Ken Berger @KBergCBS
One person involved in Memphis-Minnesota talks describes them as "dead." Others are holding out hope it can be revived.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Ken Berger @KBergCBS
The Bobcats' pursuit of Evan Turner never got very far, source says. All Charlotte has going now is potential deal for Bucks' Gary Neal.

It gets even worse:

Zach Lowe @ZachLowe_NBA
Clips are about $2M over tax, have to throw in more $ than Collison, and probably Collison/Bullock, to take Felton/Shump. Or dump elsewhere.

I think Bullock is a good young prospect

If I am the Clips, I do that deal in a heartbeat and don't look back. Bullock is a nice player, but nothing to stop the trade over. Felton > or = Collison & Shump > Bullock.

Maybe my biggest problem with the deal is Felton. From all accounts he is a cancer to teams and I wouldnt risk that if I was the Clips. Nevermind the huge drop off in production from Collison to Felton. To each their own I guess

 

[Natebishop3]

Collison saved their ass when Paul went down. That seems to be his lot in life. He saved the Hornets when Paul went down a few years back. So he drives his value up and then his team trades him after he fills in for a starter.

Hearing strong suggestions Nets now want to go ahead with proposed acquisition of Jordan Hill if Lakers still amenable despite huge BKN cost

 

[Boise Blazer]

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
Lakers have been engaged in conversations elsewhere on Jordan Hill too, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Nets, Kings complete trade of Marcus Thenron for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans. No picks involved.

This should read Marcus Thornton.

What's his contract like? Think Portland would have any interest in him?

That claims 3.5$M on expiring.

 

[Natebishop3]

I would totally do a deal with LA.

I'd like to bring back Blake, Hill and maybe Young. That would help our bench a lot.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Dave McMenamin @mcten
The Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks have also talked to the Lakers about acquiring Jordan Hill, according to a league source

 

[Hobbesarable]

The Clippers would be stupid to do that trade.

 

[santeesioux]

Oh man, i just realized Crawful and Failton would be on the same team again, that would be hilarious.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Like Hawks in Jeff Teague talks, hearing Clips opposed to taking back Felton in proposed deal headlined by Darren Collison and Iman Shumpert

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Clips undeniably interested in Shumpert. Knicks definitely want Collison. But Clips prefer not to take back Felton or part wi/Reggie Bullock

Yahoo Sports NBA @YahooSportsNBA
Even the NBA* doesn’t think the Knicks should trade for Darren Collison yhoo.it/1jHVj6o via @YahooBDL

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
ESPN has learned Knicks are telling teams that have interest in Shumpert: It'll either cost you a first or you have to take on Felton's deal

 

[MAS RipCity]

Worst. Trade. Deadline. Ever.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
To sum up: If Knicks can convince Clips to trade them Collison AND take back Felton, they've pulled off a Trade Deadline Week upset

The Mavs, a possible free-agent destination for Luol Deng, have called the Cavs about a possible trade, league source says.

 

[shamelessblazer]

If the mavs get Deng I think it'd be smart for us to make a play for Vince Carter. He can play a similar role to Batum in beings somewhat of a distributor and Stotts knows how to use him.

 

[Boise Blazer]

Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine
Sources familiar w/Rockets' thinking say HOU has absolute interest in trading for Rajon Rondo. But that alone doesn't mean we'll see a deal

Uh is another wing really necessary when our bigs are almost all down and we were thin there to begin with?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

If the Clips are dealing Collison, I'd love it if we were to swap him for Mo Williams. Maybe get them to throw in the little-used BJ Mullens as well...

how bout we focus on BIGS - sheesh!

Did you not see the Mullens reference? That would be a 7-footer for our bench.
