What about Danny Granger? I've been seeing tweets saying he could be available.

Yeah I love the idea of him. Bring him off the bench for now and then in the summer look to move Crash and something else for a power forward on a bad contract like Nene.

If the rumor was true that King was trying to setup a 3 team deal with Love going to Minnesota for Dwight and Lopez going to the Wolves... anyone think there's a chance he offers the Wolves Brook for Love straight up as an eleventh hour deal once he accepts that Mitch is not moving Dwight?

I don't even know how I'd feel about that and although I would love to hear people's thoughts on that swap, I'm more interested in hearing your opinion on if King will actually offer it.

Who would we have to play center though? Blatche full time? I dunno how I feel about that. Not sure I'm a fan of Loves attitude. He's been pretty injury prone as well. Only guy I'd trade Lopez for is Howard.

So, now everyone is saying it's Humphries on a 2 year deal being the hold up. Which was already obvious but it's painfully obvious nobody wants him on their roster for more than 1 year which wouldn't be the case IF he played like he did a year ago.

We may end up settling on a Gordon/Humphries deal. Ugh.

If it went down and I was King I'd immediately be looking to follow up with something like Humphries and Brooks for Emeka Okafor or Nene.

When NBA GMs have Twitter:

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA
The Pacers no longer consider Danny Granger untouchable, according to rival executives. Granger could be moved

Kevin Pritchard ‏@PacersKev
@AlexKennedyNBA That executive would be wrong!!!

Could find a way to shave $3,341,979 off the cap and make a deal for Howard. Completely unlikely because we're never getting Pierce but that would be an interesting angle. Move Tele & Evans and we'd be getting real close to the tax level....wth why am I even typing this, Pierce isn't going to be a Net.

This is what I was wondering about with the PP deal.

I know E said "No" but that's the only way it makes sense to me. The Nets shedding more salary on draft night so when the FA period opens, he can say "You can trade me to BKN or I'm going to HOU"

So I just saw @NetsDaily new tweet

NetsDaily: League sources say it was Boston who approached the #Nets about Pierce.Celtics hoping for better offers. Pierce can be bought out for $4m.

Which means if we did take him on board and cut him, our salary would be at $76,341,979 and only $2,341,979 above the lux tax preventing a sign and trade, I'm just saying lol.....

1) We arent getting pierce AND garnett. thats idiotic to even speculate. if boston was trading both, it would be in seperate deals to maximize returns, let alone trade one of them for our garbage.

2) if we got pierce for humphries/brooks, thats a great trade. it clears our logjam at PF and frees up minutes for mirza. It allows us to bring wallace off the bench and limit his minutes to keep him healthy. it allows us to play small if we want. It gives us more outside shooting. defensively pierce is very solid. he is also a leader and super competitive, which we lack.

he upgrades us talent wise, we dont lose anything, and we still have the expiring for next year as his contract is the same length as humphries.

Wizards wouldn't do that. I remember reading they wouldn't give Nene up in a deal for Josh Smith. We should be looking at Nene anyway though to fill our PF spot. Would be a great addition next to Brook.

You know what? I dont believe there was ever a reality to Love being available at all. Not up to now anyway. Maybe further into his contract.

Well talks between Minnesota and Utah about Williams for Millsap deal look awfully suspicious...

Safe to say no one in the NBA "wants" Humphries. His utility is that contract. Sell the contract Billy!!

DWILLoftheGODZ · Post #1256 » by **DWILLoftheGODZ** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 12:27 am

We are going to get Josh Smith. Atlanta is trying to get us to blink and throw in more assets.

BK has alot of experience of dealing with these deadline trades from the Dwightmare and the Melodrama. He wont budge. Ferry should already know this since he couldnt get Brooks in the JJ trade.

Nets have made play this week for Milwaukee's Ersan Ilyasova, I'm told, but their trusty Kris Humphries/MarShon Brooks bundle was rejected

Holy crap Vecsey dropping bombs...

PeterVecsey1: Confirmed Ainge offered PP 2 BK 4 top 2-3 player, JJ, no doubt. Makes me think if team is found 2 take him KG might accept deal 2 contender

Pierce for Joe Johnson would've open up a few possibilities with Johnson's huge deal off the books.

Would that allow us to sign Howard outright?
