NBA TRADE DEADLINE NEWS

[moonpie]

Will be interesting to see who gets bought out/waived over the next few days.

Wonder if H. Warrick could have been anything on our roster. He was traded for McBob lol.

[Michael Lucky]

because Jordan Crawford is flat out terrible.

[myersia]

This could be an underrated move

The Oklahoma City Thunder are likely to acquire Ronnie Brewer from the New York Knicks.

Brewer signed with the Knicks in the offseason.

Any news on...sigh....Raja Bell? I really think we need a one more shooter on this team. Meeks is too inconsistent to handle the 3 point duty.

Nope Jazz did nothing

[destro]

No big deal he's a FA after this season, LA can pick him up then if they still want him.

[JohnVancouver]

How does the Celtics trade a injured Barbosa for Jordan Crawford? SMH...........

I said same thing, but LB is expiring

[TyCobb]

I wanted this more than a Lakers trade. That would have automatically opened the golden door for us to walk right through to the playoffs.

Bucks and Houston just won this trade deadline and Houston have won everything but an NBA title since last summer. Bill Simmons sums up:

Dork Elvis went into the summer with a slew of "if"s and came out of it with a franchise guy (Harden), two starters on fair contracts (Lin and Asik), the fifth overall pick AND cap space for 2013. That's spectacular. I'm so happy that he's not getting fired, and that he won't be moving into my guest room. What do you think of Houston's playoff chances?

Standing pat right now does nothing but re-enforce my belief that the Lakers only focus on the big splashy moves. For years we have allowed unused/unwanted players to just draw a paycheck while never affording them an opportunity to grow. Again, the Lakers have not proven to be a nurturing or patient environment for young , unproven players. That's why they don't bother to acquire low risk/reward players (a'la Ronnie Brewer, Sam Young, Terence Williams or Delonte West) who could be better fits for the roster. When was the last time they brought in a ten day contract player?

But Houston is worse short term. They lost their two rotational PF. Patterson is more important to the success of the Rockets than people think.

When was the last time a 10-day player not named Jeremy Lin amounted for anything? We have done far too well to get some quality role players like Ariza, Shannon Brown, Clark recently and even before that the acquisitions of Mo Evans etc was a bit underrated.

We developed Sasha, Farmar and Turiaf into good role players as well.
