2013 NBA trade deadline thread

[MC KAos]

i figured its going to be interesting with only a few days left. rumors flying around, the main ones, at least in my book being a spurs fan, are as followed..

spurs getting jefferson for some combo of splitter and wing players
spurs getting josh smith for kawhi and fillers
clips getting KG for bledsoe and deandre jordan

i dont see the first two happening. i bet we trade Stephen jackson for something, but i doubt it will be anything as flashy as jefferson or josh smith. KG has said that he wont waive his no trade clause, but the clippers apparently think they can change his mind, he has a home in LA.

The Clippers would be dumb to make this deal IMO, give up two young players for an old guy who is talking retirement? I've heard the same thing on ESPN but it just doesn't make sense to me to make this deal.

Ya that deal will never happen. They don't even need KG.

some buzz is starting to pick about josh smith going to the nets. Also, there are talks now that the lakers might be more willing to move dwight before the deadline. if i was them id trade him, depending on what they can get. i just dont think he is happy there and they are risking losing him for nothing. Unfortunately for them, they wont be getting anything like the nuggets got for melo.

I have not heard that the Lakers are willing to move Howard at all. I've heard that Howard's preference is still Brooklyn but I haven't heard that LA is willing to entertain those trade options. LA can still offer 30 Million more then anybody else so I am guessing that they believe they can just ride it out and see what happens. I would personally rather see them trade Howard but I don't know if that's what the Lakers are thinking.

They can still sign him and trade him at the end of the year. I guess we'll see.

As a Hawks fan this is really bothering me.

Josh Smith has been linked to: Boston,LA,LAC,PHX,Brooklyn,Milwuakee,Dallas and basically half the teams in the NBA.

The only deals I'm interested in so far were:

LAC gives D.Jordan/Bledsoe for Josh
SA gives Kawhi/Jackson for Josh
and Milwuakee gives Jennings/Henson for Josh.

I have a feeling I'm going to be sad tomorrow/Thursday when we find a way to give him up for a bunch of scrubs though.

In a way they do or they need a big man that can shoot. That was their weakness last year and it looks like it could be their weakness this year (although Blake improved his outside game a little bit) in a half court set.
