Atlanta and Milwaukee still seriously engaged on Josh Smith, league sources tell Y! Sports.

the past two years there have been 40+ players moved both years in the final week.

If Bucks and Hawks still talking Smith, JJ might still make it to Milwaukee.

Like I said, if this domino falls, others will too. (including JJ)

Not expecting a miraculous trade, but 1 trade at the deadline for a team of our caliber..doesn't seem to be asking too much.

Hearing that right now the Magic are "quiet." Situation is fluid and it could change. But for the moment, that's the word.

That sounds like Hennigan verbatim. "Fluid". :lol:

Wonder if the Suns can still sneak and and get smoove for Gortat/dudley or whatever.

The Magic were also "quiet" when we were supposed to acquire Chris Paul three years ago haha!

The image I have is of Hennigan and Perry relaxing, sipping team with a phone on a side table between them, waiting for the Bucks to call as soon as they deal Monta.

The Suns don't expect to land Atlanta's Josh Smith before deadline, "Won't happen," I'm told. Milwaukee seen as leader in that clubhouse.

Surprised Minny isn't cooking something up. They put players and picks on the block.

Steve Kerr:
if you're orlando, why would you trade jj redick? He's one of your best players. He's a free agent this summer, yes, but how about re-signing him? He's a fantastic shooter, one of the best in the league. He gives you all that floor spacing. He says he likes Orlando, he's not demanding a trade... i'm not sure why his name always pops up. Cap space and draft picks sound great, but it amounts to nothing unless you actually do something with it. You gotta have some talent, you gotta have some players.
