In just over a week there will be no trades indefinitely. There will be alot of movement before then. Here's some of what I want to see.

Nash moved to a contender
Tony Parker moved for an Iggy type player
Timberwolves getting out of that awful #2 spot
Tyreke Evans out of Sac-town. Let's at least give the guy a shot
Memphis to move Gay + assets for a star Guard.

Westbrook and Rondo to somehow switch teams

Does Jimmer (teachmeteachmehowtoJimmer) end up in NYC?

I hope not. I think he would thrive in Milwaukee or Minnesota

FF, nothing on the Bulls? Do you expect them to make any moves?

Is the possible deal of Pau Gasol to the T'Wolves dead? Those talks seemed a little bizarre when I read them last week.

I hope not, unless we can fool some dumb team into taking Boozer.

If we move Gibson and don't get a better player already in return it is dumb as hell. Unfortunately his name comes up the most for some reason on all these blogs and such. I wouldn't mind seeing them flip Asik and financial assets for a reliable 2 guard, but that's not their style and i dont know who's available.

No Vince. Is Rip's contract finally expiring? If so I can't think of many 2 guards who would fit this team better

Westbrook to Boston and Rondo to OKC would be just silly good. Will never happen, but I like where your head is at, FF.

I don't see how they could come to an agreement. Love would have to be included. I think the wolves could get Bynum possibly while keeping Love and Rubio. If there GM wasn't a fucking moron that is. I swear I hope the Cavs force Kahn to take Irving

Is there any chance that Rubio actually plays in Minny or are they going to have to flip him at some point?

_________________

Moving Love for Gasol or Bynum would be a terrible idea. I don't even see how that is a rumor and why anyone would even remotely consider it. I thought up a deal that would actually better, but would never be made.

Heat Trade Bosh to Minny

Minny Send Love to Heat.

It would make the Heat better right now, and it would give them flexibility to go out and sign another guy. The Timberwolves couldn't get any worse if they made this deal, and Bosh would be stuck in Minnesota, which would make me

_________________

Would that even make the Heat better though? Love is a much better rebounder obviously but shares Bosh's finesse offense(Bosh is actually more physical. And his lack of physicality is one of miami's biggest problems) and softness on defense.

Bosh for Z-Bo and grieves Vasquez(he's gotta be better than Bibby/House)

Dwight Howard for Lebron would be a trade that Orlando would jump at and would greatly improve Miami.

I think it makes the Heat better because it improves their rebounding, and by moving Bosh and acquiring Love, it would give them more flexibility to bring in another guy instead of signing another stiff at the veteran's minimum.

For the most part I would consider Love for Bosh to be a wash, but if Miami could add another piece plus Love, they would be even more dangerous.

Phil - Rubio signed now because the lockout could potientally gash his salary in half or more. Therefore he's kinda stuck with the Wolves. I can't see why they would move him unless given a Godfather offer. But their GM is most likely the dumbest in the league so who knows.

Funny story about Kahn that's being widely circulated... Apparently he's "that guy" in fantasy leagues offering his #4 WR for your #1 RB, then constantly emailing you asking you to at least counter the offer. And on top of that all the possible deals he might make have more leaks than the levees during Katrina. Supposedly NBA GM's can't stand dealing with him

I would make that move in a second if I were the Heat. It's actually a deal that would benefit both teams.

_________________

That makes sense about Rubio. And is hilarious about Kahn. I can picutre GarPax having to explain why they dont need Johnny Flynn when they have Derrick Rose and putting him on mute and just ripping on the guy.

_________________

I see it as possible, but maybe in a year or 2 as opposed to right now. Right now Ainge HAS to give Doc and his team one more chance. Both GM's have balls and are good GM's. Presti is better. Both players have been talked about being moved. If a year from now they have the same seasons, we could see it. If Westbrook really wants to be Rose he'll do it in Boston, and Rondo, Durant, Perk, Harden, Dangerous.

There are mock NBA Drafts that have the Timberwolves selecting Arizona's Derrick Williams with the #2 pick if they keep it. Unfortunately, all indications are pointing towards Minnesota telling Kurt Rambis to get lost as head coach, even if they pick Williams. That seems kinda awkward for a team making a pick and then firing your head coach. Then again, the T-Wolves have been bad at basketball for quite sometime, and there's also a chance Kevin Love could be dealt to the Lakers, too.

Josh Smith doesn't know if he'll be a Hawk by the end of the night via Twitter.

Milwaukee gets Beno Udrih, Stephen Jackson, Shaun Livingston and 19th pick. Charlotte gets 7th pick and Corey Maggette. Kings get John Salmons and 10th pick.

Will Salmons wear a Kings hat for his HOF induction ceremony now?

Like clockwork, Brick. Like fuckin' clockwork.

Wow, that's shuffling alot of shit around.

Some thoughts on this move:
1. WTF is Jordan doing in Charlotte?
2. Skiles' head is going to explode with Stephen Jackson on that team
3. Kings are winning the championship next year.

_________________

Jackson has a shelf life of 2-3 years everywhere he goes. He'll either piss off Skiles and never see the court or last one year and get out.

If they take Williams, I see Beasley being the one pushed out, not Love.

Kings get John Salmons

Who says you can't go home again. I think this directly paves the way for Andres Nocioni to return to Chicago down the road.

_________________

At this point, Livingston is a throw in. He's never going to be good but will probably play a while in the league.

Beno could actually start at the point and let Jennings play his actual 2 guard position.

Jackson is the turning point of the deal. If he can score 18-20 a game like he did the last few years, this is a great deal for the Bucks.
