The Josh Smith eventually to the Bucks thread (maybe)

[paul]

The caller on wssp wants Josh Smith and Jordan Crawford.


I HAVE NO WORDS

I wouldn't watch another game. All they need to do is get Jamal Crawford as well and we'd be set. So Bucks brass if you're reading this and you want me gone and whole bunch of swaggy new fans, find a way to role out the following...

Jennings
Ellis /Jordan Crawford
Jamal Crawford
Smiff / Gooden
Bargnani / Fat Sammy

That sounds like some speculation someone on here posted earlier, based only on the idea of not including Monta or BJ.

[whatthe_buck!?]

So Gary Ellerson just said he is hearing Moute/Udrih/1st for Smith....If thats the deal then im down with it

Ellerson isn't hearing ****.

Lol. No, technically he IS hearing sh*t.

The fact that I'm laughing more than banging my head in reaction to Milwaukee Bucks info means this really has to happen, at least for comic relief sake. Just Fing go for it, LOL.

JJ Redick - not funny

JSmoove - funny

I'm kind of expecting something to go down in the next little while. The talk on Twitter has really quieted down and if something is going to happen, it makes sense to get it done before the games tonight. And this was about the time the Bogut/Ellis deal happened.

EDIT: Apparently not.

Just tuned into 1250 via the internet...hoping for some final nuggets before the top of the hour.

I'd rather deal Daly than Udrih if this is the case. We'd have no backup PG. Unless...we trade for Maynor.

Good luck with that. Mostly just a lot of **** being thrown around.

[jwalsh52]

Ellis would be backup PG and Lamb backup SG.

Rumors tend to die once games are started.


I thought we played like a team last night that was dealing with a lot of trade rumors.

Very disengaged to start the game, Monta looked like he was playing to be traded and Brandon playing to make another team want him. Will be interesting to see what the team's energy looks like tonight.

We've literally had almost the whole team involved in rumors today and then one report comes out saying that only Jennings, Sanders and Henson are untouchable. Would tend to make the others feel slighted (or excited).

I sent out a few texts to league sources, asking if they've heard anything. Responses: "Not really." "Nothing." "Nah." "Not really."

It sounds like Smith is starting for the Hawks tonight.

Josh Smith is not opposed to Milwaukee -- the city or the weather -- and likes the Bucks' roster enough to re-sign there if traded, a league source told CBSSports.com Wednesday.

With less than 24 hours before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, the Bucks, Suns and Nets are the most realistic suitors in a trade for Smith, sources said. Milwaukee's chances of landing the 6-9 forward were viewed in some league circles as diminished by the team's small-market and cold-weather status. Smith, however, is more interested in the talent he'll be playing with than geography.

But that's part of the sticking point in getting a deal done with the Bucks. If Milwaukee surrendered either member of its starting backcourt, Brandon Jennings or Monta Ellis, it would diminish Smith's enthusiasm for making a long-term commitment there. And those are Milwaukee's two most dynamic assets in a potential package for Smith.

League executives continue to believe that Phoenix is the most realistic destination for Smith. It would be a slam dunk if the Suns were willing to surrender two first-round picks in the deal -- their own and the Lakers' pick obtained in the Steve Nash trade -- in addition to center Marcin Gortat. However, rival execs believe strongly that the Suns will not agree to give the Hawks multiple picks, especially their own, which will be high in the lottery.

The Nets have offered MarShon Brooks, Kris Humphries and either a first-round pick or Croatian Bojan Bogdanovic for Smith. Short of the Suns offering two first-rounders, some execs believe Brooklyn's offer may be the best Ferry is able to extract for Smith, a 27-year-old prospective free agent who has never been an All-Star. But sources say Ferry's refusal to take back salary beyond this season is a sticking point the Nets will have trouble overcoming. Finding a third team to absorb Humphries or perhaps Gerald Wallace in a Smith deal would be challenging, to say the least.

The Celtics have discussed a potential deal with Atlanta involving Smith and Paul Pierce, who has only $4 million guaranteed next season. Most rival front offices now believe the Celtics will try to add to their roster before Thursday's deadline, not blow it up.

Also, the Golden State Warriors had some brief dialogue with the Hawks about Smith, but sources said it never rose to a serious level. Ferry's insistence on including Stephen Curry -- and not including Andris Biedrins, who is owed $9 million next season -- put the brakes on those discussions.
