A source tells me there is legs to the three-team trade that would send Jamal Crawford to Minny and Steve Blake to Portland.

Joe Freeman ‏ @BlazerFreeman
The #Blazers would get a 1st-round pick in addition to Blake in the three-team deal. Not sure where the pick is coming from yet.

...nothing done yet.

Lakers get Beasley and Sessions
Wolves get Crawford
Cavs get a 1st round pick
Blakers get Steve Blake

The three-team deal that would bring Jamal Crawford to Minnesota and send Michael Beasley to the Los Angeles Lakers will likely include Lakers guard Derek Fisher as well, according to Charley Walters of The St. Paul Pioneer Press:

'Don't be surprised if the Minnesota Timberwolves trade forward Michael Beasley to the Los Angeles Lakers and acquire guard Jamal Crawford from Portland in a three-team deal that would send Lakers guard Derek Fisher to the Trail Blazers.'

Crawford, 31, could help bolster the Timberwolves backcourt after the devastating loss of Ricky Rubio to a season-ending ACL tear. He is averaging 14.2 points and 3.7 assists per game in a reserve role for the Blazers. Beasley, meanwhile, is averaging 11.8 points per game in a reduced role this season.

:suicide:

LOL that would be bad for everyone.

1-Fischer doesn't want to leave LA

2- Fischer sucks and wouldn't help Portland much

 

[SaintFan25]

I mean I was mad already at the idea we'd be trading for Blake but if we took Fisher back instead? :ARGH:

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Fisher doesn't even belong in the NBA lol

The Hornets play the Lakers tonight so it'll be interesting to see who plays for the Lakers and who doesn't.

 

[Mexi]

Fischer? wtf DJT
he's been in the league since 1996. spell it correctly lol

 

[DJT]

LOL for some reason I always think there is a C in there somewhere.

Oh well I don't care. He should retire.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Trying to see who the Lakers have on the floor tonight, starting lineups should be after this commercial break.

 

[SaintFan25]

Nate said Crawford was going to play tonight before the game. We're a quarter in and he's not even on the bench.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Fisher isn't with the Lakers but Blake is dove.

 

[SaintFan25]

Fisher isn't with the Lakers but Blake is dove.

:spideypalm:

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lol I'm playing, wanted to see your reaction.

Both are dressed and Fisher is in the starting lineup.

 

[elcheato]

Crawford is not playing though

edit: Dove said this above.

 

[SaintFan25]

Lol I'm playing, wanted to see your reaction.

Both are dressed and Fisher is in the starting lineup.

Thank God. lol

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lol I'll let you know if Blake enters the game, though I'm assuming he will.

 

[SaintFan25]

I've heard 2 things about Crawford, #1 he won't exercise his player option so we were looking to dump him while we can or #2 he was planning on exercise his player option and we want to clear cap space for the offseason. If it's the latter, getting Fisher would make sense with his 3.4 million player option at the end of the season over Blake who has 2 years left on his contract. However I'm still not liking the trade but we'll see.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Blakes on the court.

 

[Pugz]

i hope this deal goes through. lakers get some youth, minny gets a well needed two guard but he's not long term lol. i pretty much just like it for la.
