Why would the Rockets want to trade for a SF when they have 4 on the roster? Maybe the Rondo deal goes down?

All is quiet for the Bulls, Grizzlies, Warriors, Mavericks, and Pelicans at the moment, according to Sam Amick of USA Today.

The Lakers' efforts to dump Hill and Chris Kaman to get under tax stalled when they couldn't secure a second-round pick for either one.

So we apparently didn't want to give up a 2nd rounder for Hill.

Wouldn't be the first time a deadline came and went.
Discretion and valor and all that.
So hey rather keep Hill and Kaman and pay millions in luxury tax instead of give them away increase their tank for players they won't resign. Like I said Gms think they are so smart they are dumb.Originally Posted by RaisingTheBar
Wow they traded Brookes and now they wanna get rid of Crawford?

I kinda figured nothing, if much, would happen today. I think most of our moves are usually done over the offseason. Just about every year we get all these threads and get worked up for nothing. LOL.
Booooooring. I needed some good news today. Been a terrible week.
30 minutes to get those trades in!

All quiet...THEN BOOM!
Suddenly we have Melo, Monroe, and Leonard Fournette.
Text from a front-office executive: "34 minutes. This trade deadline could be like kissing your sister."

Wonder if that was Demps LOL
What does this even mean.
Stay on topic, this is a deadline rumor thread.

Either nothing good will happen, or, if we're going by the ways of the south or the mountainous east coastal region, a rollicking good time.
Either way. If something big, you'd expect Woj or Berger to have heard about it.
And if Chris Broussard breaks it first, it's total bunk.
So true
RT @ramonashelburne: Lakers engaged in discussions with Philadelphia on Chris Kaman, according to sources

Really surprised that the Lakers would rather pay $7 million in luxury tax at the expense of a 2nd rounder. You can typically buy 2nd rounders for $500,000.

10 minutes left. Really doubt anything happens now.

RT @ramonashelburne: Sounds like Jordan Hill discussions are dying or dead, per sources on both sides

Their reckless spending is really catching up to them. Them and the Knicks.
I don't understand something. I read a tweet, maybe from Sheridan Hoops, that the 76er's have like... 5 2nd round draft picks coming up. If the Lakers want a 2nd round pick for Hill, I'm assuming we've tried getting one from Philly? Aren't they still at the point where they NEED to take a player due to required salary? We can't give them... ANYTHING... for a 2nd rounder?
Maybe they don't want to move him unless they can move Kaman too to get under the luxury tax. They might prefer to option to have his Birds rights if they don't get a sweetener.
I agree that it's silly though. I'd like for one thing to break our way today.
i assume if Kaman gets moved, Hill will be moved. it's the difference between over/under the luxury tax. would just be a matter of who would get him at that point
Looks like shumpert and Felton might go to clippers at last minute
