Philadelphia Inquirer -
A basketball source has informed the Philadelphia Inquirer that the Nuggets have expressed interest in Seattle's Delonte West.

West was dealt in the Ray Allen trade on draft night.

I think the Sonics should trade him, it's not like they have room for 3 PG's there.

Found this on Yahoo! Sports:

The conference also might not be done loading up. Two league sources said the Denver Nuggets were in "full pursuit" of Sacramento Kings forward Ron Artest, with team officials discussing a package involving Linas Kleiza, Eduardo Najera and a first-round pick. The Nuggets, according to another West source, also have been in talks with the Memphis Grizzlies regarding point guard Kyle Lowry. Denver would likely give up Von Wafer and a draft pick.

Denver is really working hard to make themselves contenders eh?

The Lakers may not be done tinkering with their roster.

The word is they don't believe Odom can be that ultimate small forward to defend the wing and shoot from distance along the front line when Andrew Bynum returns.

The Lakers are said to be looking hard for a more traditional small forward with shooting range. Perhaps the Wizards' Caron Butler, who was injured and couldn't play in Sunday's All-Star Game.

Despite what they say in Miami, the consensus is the Miami Heat will let Shawn Marion's deal expire after next season and head for a big man like the Los Angeles Clippers Elton Brand, a free agent after next season whom Pat Riley tried to sign as a free agent in 2003.

But, Riley isn't patient enough to wait two years for his team to develop, and he needs a big center. The New York Knicks Eddy Curry could be that player.

What other coach would believe he could motivate and put Curry in position to succeed better than Riley? How much could it possibly cost? Curry is only 25.

Caron was a previous member of the Lakers wasn't he

Artest to New York Possibilities:

Artest/KT to NYK; Zach Randolph to Denver; Nene/Najera to Sacramento

Artest, KT for Fred Jones/Dan Dickau/Malik Rose

 

[FLIP!]

Bobby Jones for Ryan Hollins is rumoured

If the Orlando Magic are to make a trade before Thursday's deadline, General Manager Otis Smith agrees it would have to be to upgrade the defense. Point guard Carlos Arroyo and shooting guard J.J. Redick seem to be the most vulnerable to being dealt, although Smith says he won't take on a long-term salary to make a quick fix.

Whoa, if that happens you might as well give the Suns a trip to the finals IMO.

 

[bulls12]

Chicago better not do that stupid 3-way trade, they don't need Graham.

Its a good trade for Sac too.

 

[RipCity32]

Its a good trade for Sac too.

Yeah, they are really loaded for this off-season. Perhaps getting ready to sign Brand?

I hope you don't resign Williams, I could see him fitting nicely in Detroit..
