It was via Ramona Shelborne....less than 30min so we'll see... this reminds me of 2 years ago when it went down to the last minute waiting to see if we were gonna get Beasley or not

Momo is the only person I trust on the station.

I remember last season she knew the various trades that were going down before they were announced.

It is funny how GMs get religion at the deadline but can't wait to spend in the summer.

FYI noon isn't really a hard deadline. Sometimes calls are waiting for the league office past noon, and reports surface after.

ya..smh... i felt like Beasley wouldve really helped that year. Big problem was bench scoring with that squad.

Ken Berger‏@KBergCBSnow

For those wondering, there is no deal pending for Pau Gasol at deadline, league source says. Lakers set to keep him, and his Bird rights.

kal-el-8 · Feb 20, 2014

Kamenetzky Brothers‏@KamBrothersnow

Sources far from the situation say Chris Kaman is on the phone pretending to be Mitch Kupchak in an attempt to get himself dealt. AK

KEVIN DING ‏@KevinDing 21s

Been saying Lakers' motivation to get out of luxury tax this season overrated. They don't expect even to be able to pay tax next 2 seasons.

As E pointed out.

So if they're not getting picks out of it, I can see why Mitch isn't motivated to do the deal.

I just dont understand. You mean to tell me that Jordan Hill is not worth a second rounder? He is a 18 and up draft pick type player - except he's proven it.

but could end up being a rental player. teams that are gauging him either have no pics to deal or have high 2nd round picks

exactly. it aint that serious. if it was the trades would've been done weeks ago

Ramona Shelburne‏@ramonashelburnenow

Lakers engaged in discussions with Philadelphia on Chris Kaman, according to sources

here comes a second rounder

orsrt8 · Feb 20, 2014

Momo saying Lakers and Sixers talking about a Kaman deal...

Feel bad for Kaman... Stupid coach never gave him a shot....oh well..move him and save that $$$

I posted a tweet earlier.. GMs are principled in season.. And extremely unprincipled in the offseason.

Trading a 35 pick for a playoff rental of Jordan Hill as a contender (you'll have his Bird Rights and could retain him if you're a winner) is a great trade for the team getting Hill
