OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Why exactly? I thought Jefferson was some kind of saint.

But seriously, is there something besides whether he'd start or not that I'm missing here? I happen to agree that the Clippers would be better served with Al as well (though I haven't checked the salary sitch there).

Salary wise. I think Jefferson is in the 12-14 million range, and I doubt the Clippers are willing,interested, or able to pay that to Jefferson. I don't think Millsap is feasible for them either, but he would be slightly more so.

Which is why I don't think this trade happens unless we throw in Burks + a draft pick.

What we need to do is convince them to trade deandre. Then they will have the cap room for Albert. Also, here is a side note: I think Jeremy Evans true home is in lob city. Think of it. If he played with Chris Paul for like three minutes a game he would lead the league in dunks

YES. Include EVANS!!!

OKC rumored to be aggressively shopping Maynor (...with a reportedly high asking price).

Any interest in bringing him back? I was a big fan of his game at VCU and his short stint here. Haven't seen much of him in OKC...

KOC in 2009: "So Sam, we're going to give you Eric Maynor for a couple years, free of charge. In 2013, when we want him back, we'll throw a first round pick your way."

I just don't see Maynor fetching more than a 2nd. He's been horrible this year and is now buried on their bench.

And the most important one is, that we need Jefferson more. Its dump to give a big time player like BIG-AL away.

"Maynor will be a restricted free agent this summer. Utah needs a backup point guard and would be a good fit, but sources say the Jazz front office is consumed with the dilemma of whether to trade Jefferson or Paul Millsap. CBSSports.com"

From Hoopshype. Only Jazz rumor so far today.

If we could trade Al for Bledsoe we would go on a tear to end the year and my eyes would leak awesomeness as I could watch my Jazz play for the first time in 1.5 seasons.

 

[Fishsticks]

Worst trade deadline as far as legit or even illegit rumors I have witnessed. Two days away and nothing that sounds even close to having legs other than our deal and I am beginning to believe that is even bs.

Maynor is a dime a dozen in this league. I like his game a lot, but he's really nothing special.

Thats not encouraging. Nothing like waiting for the last minute to make a plan.
