NBA Trades/Rumors December 2014

[Caffeinedisastr]

I'm thinking:

Knicks trade either Shumpert/Calderon
Pistons move Josh Smith to Sacramento
Boston trades Rondo/J. Green
Charlotte moves Stephenson
Brooklyn trades Joe Johnson

We will stand pat.

Any others I may have missed?

[Caffeinedisastr]

Will Phoenix move Bledsoe?

Not even going to waste me time reading if so....WOW

No. Give it a read.

He talks about teaming up Davis & Carmelo, with Tyreke or Jrue going to NYK.
You can tell it's from a fan, but he brings up some interesting fits for Mr. Candy Bar.

My bad. Reread it.

I have NO CLUE how I missed that. lol.

Put me in the group of "No moves till the off season". No reason trading junk for junk, and it would be stupid to trade away a core piece and get back a stop-gap or aging vet. I was hopful that Gordon would remain healthy and playing at a high level this season to maybe soften his contract in a possible trade, but him getting hurt again kills any flicker of a wisper of moving him IMO. Just ride it out, this team is not playing bad and short of more injuries should really make a strong push for the playoffs. Then we'll know better what we need.

I'm really wondering what the next overseas find will be.

Can Dell grab us a 3&D SF for minimal pay?

Pistons move Josh Smith to Sacramento

Kings arn't that stupid, but if they were... maybe we could make a deal for derrick williams. He wouldn't get much playing time behind Gay and Smith and he can 3 and D. Honestly, i've wanted derrick on the pels for a cool minute now.

No sense of imminent deals, but tremendous volume of trade discussions among teams for only the mid-December benchmark.

I like Melo's game but the guy cares only about fame and money . After couple glorious years in manhattan , he won't like life in louisiana . His loss...

Oh, but the Kings ARE that stupid.

Traded for Derrick Williams.
Traded for Rudy Gay.
Vivek claims defense should play 4 on 5 while one player "cherry picks".
Fired Mike Malone after getting off to best start in quite some time because they want to "run & gun" when they possess one of the best offensive post players around.

[new city champ]

Nuggets? Hmmmm....

[Caffeinedisastr]

Nuggets? Hmmmm....

I've got the feeling the Nuggets are about to blow it all up.

Steve Kyler: Celtics, Pistons, Suns, Timberwolves, Hornets - are seller in this market. Pacers, Nets, Nuggets and Rockets buyers... Twitter @stevekylerNBA

Steve Kyler: Have also heard Pelicans and HEAT are sniffing around, but may be more of a due diligence process than serious desire to trade. Twitter @stevekylerNBA

[Caffeinedisastr]

Now Miami's looking at Stephenson.

QUOTE:
"Trade talks are heating up now that free agents signed last offseason became eligible to be traded Dec. 15. Jeff Green, Brandon Bass, Marcus Thornton, Gerald Wallace and Rajon Rondo are most often mentioned as players Ainge, the Celtics’ president of basketball operations, could try to deal at some point this season."

How have the Celtics not been better than they are considering they have (what looks like) some solid vets, Rondo and a bunch of young talent?

Is it injuries?

[moon54]

Actually I would love to have joe johnson . But Brooklyn won't take eric gordon for him even he saves them a 20 million per year...

This would be one of the trades I'd be willing to do too. If Brooklyn just wants to blow it up and save some money then Gordon for JJ isn't horrible for them. There's no chance Gordon opts out anyway so if it nets us a starting 3 for this year and next then I'm happy. He comes off the books right when the cap spikes.

Bledsoe ain't goin' nowhere

[Caffeinedisastr]

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/bucks...286045751.html

With Jabari out for the season, perhaps the Bucks playoff hopes go out with him.

Would they be looking to move some players in hopes of tanking and scoring big at the lottery again?

[Caffeinedisastr]

Dragic available for trade? This means that Bledsoe is their point of the future.

Portland wants Wallace back? Why?

[Caffeinedisastr]

And Knicks are shopping EVERYONE except Carmelo.
