NBA Trades/Rumors December 2014

[Silverfoxx]

Makes sense. Minnesota wants to suck and Houston has an exception they wanted to use today.

Troy Daniels though? That guy was money for them

Troy Daniels though? That guy was money for them

I am seriously questioning why they would send him of all people.

Minny wins.

[Spaniard]

Troy Daniels is like 30% from all parts of the floor and barely playing. Houston gets a very good player in Brewer and it looks like Minny clears out a good deal of money. I'm assuming Houston is using their trade exception.

Was he only that good while playing us?

Houston is in full win now mode. Troy might develop but with Brewer you are getting a starting quality SF for basically guard bench depth.

[Spaniard]

Those 9 points were the most he has scored in a game this season. He had only played about 20 minutes this MONTH before playing 16 against us. I believe he will be out of the league before long.

[DroopyDawg]

Troy Daniels is the Pelican killer. he even killed us in preseason. So happy he's gone to minny.

[Caffeinedisastr]

Houston's sending a 2015 second-round pick via Kings, and a future second, source says. That could be fluid if third-team found for Turiaf.

THis is too easy. I should be a GM.

That probably solves our SF problem right there.

I think OKC would go for it. I really do...

What's funny is it says it doesn't affect our win totals. lol

That is hilarious. I hadn't noticed before.

ESPN thinks Durant is a tad overrated.

[Caffeinedisastr]

3rd team potentially involved. That's why there's no official announcement. Again, will be curious if Daniels sticks here. http://shar.es/13Ft5q via @hoopshype

Hear Francisco Garcia's name came up with the #Twolves in one of the many scenarios that they discussed w/ Houston.

[Caffeinedisastr]

Wolfson reports on T-wolves?

Classic.

Also, is Houston giving up too much?

[HoustonPelicans]

That is hilarious. I hadn't noticed before.

Nah it's just EG is just as good!

[Caffeinedisastr]

Nah it's just EG is just as good!

I'm gonna go cry now.

[SnowofSX2]

Turiaf to the 76ers, Shved to the Rockets (releasing Garcia) according to Woj. Rockets definitely make out in this trade

[jhow0036]

Sources: Three-way Corey Brewer deal taking shape: Ronny Turiaf to 76ers with a second-round pick. Sixers send Alexey Shved to Rockets.

Houston is releasing Francisco Garcia, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

[DroopyDawg]

Garcia... there's our 3.

[iNolaNightmare]

Garcia... there's our 3.

I was just coming here to post this. Dell knew before we did. If he isn't signed by tomorrow I'll be surprised.

[JunkHead]

In the Brewer deal, the 76er's will receive another 2nd round pick.

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Is Garcia even able to play?
Isn't he injured?

[Mythrol]

Be ready to be surprised. Waivers won't allow him to be signed tomorrow.

[DroopyDawg]

He IS injured... dealing with a calf/Achilles injury. So maybe he won't get picked up. But here's what Rotoworld says...

Rockets waive G/F Francisco Garcia.

There were rumors circulating that the Rockets were trying to include Garcia in the Corey Brewer trade today and they had to release someone, so the move makes sense. He'll catch on somewhere else. Dec 19 - 6:23 PM

[PelsFan2313]

Be ready to be surprised. Waivers won't allow him to be signed tomorrow.

Lmao. He's got to clear waivers which is a 48-hr process...AND...

While he is on waivers, other teams may claim him, for his existing salary. If he is not claimed, he is said to have "cleared waivers", and is treated like any free agent, able to sign with any team (with the special restriction noted above for players who were traded and then waived).
