I hope T-Wolves beat in this game. Coming off that home loss to Sac-Town too.

Jerebko owns

I love Jerebko but I don't see him getting much better than he already is. Just doesn't seem like the type of kid with huge potential. I hope he proves me wrong though.

And who knows, that's why he is the GM and not us.

 

[elcheato]

yea like Windhorst said, no way we move Shaq. He's too important to this team right now.

Thats how I see it too. He wont get much better. Maybe a better shot, thats it.

Its like Dumars doesnt think he needs to fully blow up this team. We need to move Rip and Tay for anything that helps us do that right now.

The Celtics are moving toward acquiring Nate Robinson from the Knicks before Thursday's trade deadline.

Boston would ship the Knicks an expiring contract and, presumably, also send a draft pick as compensation.

Robinson is in on a one-year contract and has veto rights over any trade, but it is believed that he would welcome a trade to Boston.

Golden State is having a difficult time advancing trade talks because other teams are hoping to receive their 2010 first round pick.

The Warriors are said to be in trade discussions involving Corey Maggette and Cleveland’s Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

I'd do that if they gave us their first lol, I would worship Ferry if we landed that pick and ended up getting Evan Turner.

 

[Rondo The Prodigy]

Nate the Great.

I really like this trade. As much as I love Eddie House, this is his final year in contract and Nate puts up much better stats.

Next on the list is acquiring a young guard for Ray Allen.

According to Chris Mannix of SI, Houston and Knicks are finalizing their deal, all thats left is protection on draft picks.

 

[jarrod2323]

Houston TV said actually that the Bulls and Knicks are both in talks on finalizing the contract -- just 2 minutes ago.

They said nothing is definite, but both teams are being given a chance to beat each other for TMac

 

[RipCity32]

Looks like my T-Mac jersey will be considered a throwback <_<

The Knicks and Rockets are reportedly finalizing a trade to send Tracy McGrady to New York.

The Knicks have agreed to give the Rockets the right to swap first-round picks in 2011 and the Knicks will send the Rockets their 2012 first-round pick. Details on protections attached to the two picks is the sole issue remaining to be resolved.

The trade creates approximately $9.5 million additional salary cap room this summer and gives the Knicks the ability to offer two maximum contracts.

Here's the latest on the 2 options -- I hate both for the Rocket, IMO.. But, looks like they're trying to get something rather than get nothing from him when he leaves after season

Marc Stein has a news story with more on the Knicks-Rockets-Bulls trade situation, to which we'll add this nugget: If Chicago is willing to deal the expiring contracts of Tyrus Thomas, Brad Miller and Jerome James for McGrady and Brian Cook, it would shave $2.75 off the Rockets' payroll and move them just barely below the luxury tax line. Here is how that deal looks in the ESPN NBA Trade Machine.

McGrady

Chris Sheridan:The Houston Rockets and New York Knicks are "making progress" in their Tracy McGrady trade discussions, according to a source close to the talks, and Knicks president Donnie Walsh is expected to speak with owner Jim Dolan on Wednesday to discuss the parameters of the deals that have been discussed and how best to proceed.

Several sources say the main holdup to this point has been the Rockets' insistence on asking for at least one future No. 1 pick as the price for taking on Jared Jeffries, who is owed $6.9 million next season. Dolan has always been amenable to throwing $3 million cash into the kitty to make a deal go through, but a decade of sacrificing first-round draft picks has left him hesitant to sign off on letting another one go (The Knicks owe their own 2010 pick to Utah).

The Rockets are believed to be seeking the Knicks' 2012 first-round pick, along with the option to swap first-round picks in 2011, and there are unresolved issues regarding lottery protection on the draft picks.

But the bottom line for New York is that trading Jeffries opens up nearly $7 million in additional cap space for this summer, giving the Knicks the flexibility to not only make a max offer to LeBron James but also choose between retaining All-Star David Lee or trying to use Lee in a sign-and-trade for Chris Bosh.

If the teams swap McGrady, Brian Cook and Joey Dorsey for Larry Hughes, Jeffries and Jordan Hill, the Rockets would drop almost $2 million below the luxury-tax threshold and would be eligible for a $4-million-plus tax redistribution payment.

If Al Harrington were put in the trade instead of Hughes and Cook were removed, the financial savings for Houston would be about the same. As things stand now, the Rockets are $2.7 million over the tax threshold.

I like the deal for the Rockets if they get those firsts...

Cavs beat writer says the Cavs are still waiting for Suns call, and have the Wizards on speed dial, so it looks like we still want Amare over Jamison.
