OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

[NUMBERICA]

If I were KOC, I'd at least entertain some discussion with Atlanta for Josh Smith. I'm not saying I'd trade for him, but I'd have a few conversations. I liked the younger, more athletic SF version of Smith of the past though rather than the jump-shooting, mediocre IQ version of today. Kanter/Favors/Smith/Hayward/Burks would be a load of a team.

So you want Smith to not take jumpers anymore and play him at SF???

I'd want Josh to take some jumpers, but he used to be an effective slasher, and now he chucks too much. He's mellowed in recent years.
He was also among the league leaders in blocks, but he doesn't assert himself like he used to.

Sounds like the description of AK.

Here's an Al Jeffs trade that sends Josh Smith to the Clippers. Apparently, the Clips like Josh. Again, the Jazz would likely waive Billups.

We might want to send out Marvin in another deal, or move Butler over the summer.

So when exactly is the trade deadline? 25th?

If Houston still likes Al Jefferson, they have quite a few young assets to move still--Terrence Jones, DoMo, Patterson, etc. They could compete now with Jefferson.

Feb 21st

He is in the "Clearance" section. People will check it out towards the end of store hours if all the good stuff gets sold-out.

Yep. His performance and player option for next year make him unattractive.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Basically, he's about as unattractive as Devin Harris was a year ago.

Is the trade deadline supposed to be this boring? So far all it's been is 2 Memphis trades and a buncha ****ty Sheridan rumors.

THe last 3 days or so is when stuff goes down. I expect things to heat up during All-star weekend.

Apparently, the Bobcats are very keen on moving Ben Gordon. If they'd throw in a 1st-round pick with limited protection, I'd entertain this, but it would be better to send Ben Gordon to a 3rd team.

Here's a trade that sends Gordon to Brooklyn, moves Al to Charlotte, and gives the Jazz Humphries along with a Charlotte 1st-rd pick.
