Crazy trade. So do the pelicans now trade Davis at draft time? I mean they can't really think those 2 guys can win together can they? I swear they're bringing cousins in cause they know he'll take their money and they can act like they're rebuilding around him and market him to the region after they move Davis.
Sacto is just stupid if they were gonna trade him they should've BEEN did it! Smh. I get addition by subtraction and divac has drafted his replacements in the last2 drafts so it's not overly surprising. Still, baggage and all no one else wanted him besides the Lakers?? I mean Ainge clearly could've given them amir, smart and a non Brooklyn pick and had him.
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

I'd be more excited about the Boogie trade if Alvin Gentry weren't such an asshat.

The Clippers are trying to acquire a small forward without giving up one of their four core players and ESPN’s Zach Lowe reports that Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford aren’t drawing much interest from opposing teams. The franchise called the Wizards trying to bring Otto Porter to Los Angeles, but Washington was disinterested in engaging in trade talks.
A package of Rivers, Crawford, and a future first-rounder won’t be enough to pry Wilson Chandler from the Nuggets, Lowe reports. Denver is seeking a lottery-protected first-round pick and swap rights on another pick for Chandler or Danilo Gallinari. The Nuggets intend to compete for the eighth seed in the Western Conference and they believe they can do it without one of their veteran small forwards.

The Wizards are also eager to add a rotation player. The team has been linked to Lou Williams and it has explored trading a protected first-rounder in exchange for him. Lowe believes that’s too much value for Washington to give up and opines that two second-round picks may be able to get a deal completed.

Jahlil Okafor was close to being acquired by the Blazers before the team traded for Jusuf Nurkic. Lowe adds that the Sixers did not hold Okafor out of two contests to simply drive up his price.
Dame Lillard's gotta be pissed.

The Bucks are willing to listen to offers for anyone besides Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jabari Parker, Thon Maker and Khris Middleton. Lowe adds that the Wolves have expressed interest in Tony Snell.
Of course Thibs wants his guy.

The Suns are listening to offers on most of their veterans and Lowe writes that P.J. Tucker is the player who is most likely to be traded. The scribe names the Clippers and Raptors as teams to watch.

The Celtics have identified a small group of role players they could have interest in acquiring, and Suns forward P.J. Tucker is among them.
But Boston will not go overboard or hinder its flexibility chasing these deals, and it has no plans to relinquish a future first-round pick for a player like Tucker, who would simply offer some assistance off the bench, a source said.

Here ya go, Bbills:
The Dallas Mavericks and Boston Celtics can be expected to talk before the Thursday trade deadline about a deal that would send center Andrew Bogut to Boston in exchange for one of the Celtics’ trio of No. 1 picks, an NBA source tells us — but only dependent on what bigger move Boston can make.

Some members of the Utah Jazz front office have expressed interest recently in Lakers guard Lou Williams, ESPN sources say. Many around the league believe Williams is likely to be dealt before Thursday’s trade deadline. Some teams who have talked to the Lakers about Williams believe Los Angeles is seeking a first-round pick in any Williams swap.
The Utah Jazz have both their own pick and Golden State’s 2017 1st rounder. It will be interesting to see what happens with this deal as Derrick Favors is reportedly being coveted by the Phoenix Suns.

Celtics Twitter is starting to buzz you guys hearing anything IT3 tweeted eyes emoji and the last time he did that was before the signed Horford. But n news yet. Andre Drummond was reportedly offered to Sacramento as part of a deal for Cousins, so it should not come as a surprise that his name has found its way into the rumor mill.
Still, Drummond only added fuel to the rumor mill fire by re-tweeting the eyeball emojis posted by the Celtics' Isaiah Thomas, something Thomas did shortly before Boston added Al Horford to the mix last summer.
And then Drummond followed that up by posting his own set of eyeball emojis on Tuesday, which adds to the speculative nature of a trade-deadline season that ends Thursday at 3 p.m.
Drummond, a former UConn standout, is an easy-going, fun-loving guy, so the emoji stuff isn’t all that out of character for him. But he also changed his Twitter profile picture to him waving goodbye. after removing Pistons information from his bio.
Is he pulling our leg, or giving a heads-up that the Celtics are close to pulling off a trade?
