Rumored Transaction Thread

Chris Broussard is my fav

Bucher makes stuff up. he kept saying kobe was this close to being traded, but no one else backed him up

I wouldn't doubt that we have offered that for Kaman and the Clippers would take it though. It seems Ferry has talked to every team and is associated with every trade/free agent.

 

[Mexi]

off-topic, but I just love how Bucher during the Denver/Lakers series was on radio saying he can't imagine Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom walking around flaunting their rings. Then the host was like "i'm with you".

ahhh, i just love this championship <3

An inside source with the Houston Rockets told me earlier today that a potential trade with the Memphis Grizzlies fell through. The deal would have involved Houston sending Tracy McGrady and Aaron Brooks to Memphis for the Grizzlies' second overall pick in the 2009 draft and, possibly, an additional Grizzlies player or two.

Im glad this isnt happening, I still want TMac in NY

Yeah the draft is going to be filled with trades, I think the 2,3, and 4 could all be moved.

Theres already one deal thats going to happen b/t the Knicks and Blazers.

Speculation is that the Pistons will make a big push to sign unrestricted free-agent Ben Gordon this off-season.

Despite being cautious about adding salary in 2010, the Knicks will reportedly pursue Gordon as well.

I always quietly thought we should go after BG, but didnt want to mess up the 2010 CAP.

I think we should stay away from him though, we can get someone better come 2010. Especially if he wants more then 6mil

"Just saw this on the my local sports channel.

Rondo/Scalabrine/Giddens to Memphis For Rudy gay and Mike Conley.


Edit: They are saying that it's still not done but the deal is very likely."

 

[dez]

Damn, where'd you get that Rip?

But I dont get why the Celtics are looking to move Rondo, dude has star potential.

Gay would probably take Ray's spot, so they'll most likley keep shopping him.

But this move is a step back for the Celtics IMO, Rondo is too big a piece to their success.

 

[RipCity32]

It was posted on a realgm board, I highly doubt it has any truth to it. You never know though.

 

[The Young One]

I saw that rumor on another site they said its fake

 

[Mexi]

LOL that has false written all over it.

Gay and Conley for Rondo, SCAL and GIDDENS. right....

i know sucky trade happen all the time with throw ins, but this is just a little overkill IMO

 

[elcheato]

No trade rumors from the Cavs today, I'm a little disappointed.

 

[Mexi]

and the pisstons actually made a trade today for once

cleveland's gotta step their game up

 

[elcheato]

We should have one on draft day. Lots of talk we want to move up, I'm sure the Hornets would sell us a pick. Gotta make some more moves too, keep me excited on draft day for the first time since 2003.

 

[Mexi]

draft day is gonna be pretty cool.

i think a few lame salary dumps are gonna happen like the jefferson trade today

 

[elcheato]

I am confident the Cavs have a few deals up their sleeves this year. We got Mo last year, we have to do more and they know. The Danny's are under a lot of pressure to keep LeBron in Cleveland so they have to go out and make this team by far the best.

Dear lord draft night is going to be a MESS. Remember last year how none of us could figure out where Darell Arthur was? He got traded three times, with different sites reporting different teams and deals.

I have a feeling tis going to be like that but for more than one player this year.

So what are the odds of the following players being traded on draft night?

Shaquille O'Neal
Amar'e Stoudemire
Ray Allen
Rajon Rondo
Vince Carter
Chris Kaman
Tracy McGrady

 

[Mexi]

at least 2 of those guys are getting dealt, along with guys like caron perhaps, maybe hinrich, etc.
and more than a few draft picks will get traded as well

 

[RipCity32]

Off that list, Rondo and Amare.
