Son is wylin. Disrespectful to Jennings. If that deal ever went down Jennings would drop 60 on the Bucks every time he played them.

how many years left on JSmith's contract? I'd like to see he and Dwight end up on the same team when I think about it. Possible?

 

[xbiker47]

Please trade Nash to a team that will contend in the playoffs

If the Bulls can somehow get Deshawn Stevenson, I think they'd benefit greatly, they need that toughness/ playoff experience.

I want Josh Smith, Iguodala and Dwight to play together in Philly. Teams would only score like 60 points a game against them.

He makes 13.2mil next season, which will be his last. Might as well throw Ibaka on that fantasy defensive minded team as the 4, bump JSmoove to the 3 and Iguodala to the 2.

 

[|A-Man|]

Nah, I was just wondering if the Nets or Mavs could package a deal for him and then sign Dwight outright in the off season.

But LeBron would be the 1 on that fantasy defensive team.

Bogut trade scenarios could hinge on Dwight

The Rockets and Warriors are discussing ways to acquire center Andrew Bogut from Milwaukee, with the Golden State scenario part of a complicated, three-team proposal that would send Monta Ellis to Orlando, multiple league sources told CBSSports.com.

The Warriors would get Bogut from the Bucks and send Ellis to Orlando as part of the Magic's efforts to persuade Dwight Howard that they are prepared to continue surrounding him with top-flight talent. The Magic are exploring multiple scenarios to upgrade their roster in the hopes that Howard would then relent on his strategy to opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

Howard remained noncommittal about his future plans Monday, despite the Magic's latest efforts to appease him, sources said. While it's unclear whether Orlando executives have set a hard deadline to get an answer from their star center, league sources believe the Magic need to get some direction from Howard by Wednesday or will move forward with the next phase of their strategy -- deciding whether to trade him or keep him beyond Thursday's trade deadline and hope he has a change of heart in the summer.

Houston's efforts to acquire Bogut would be a less complicated, two-deal deal with Milwaukee in which many scenarios have been discussed. Among them, Milwaukee would get Samuel Dalembert, Courtney Lee and draft picks, sources said. The Rockets also presumably would have to take back Stephen Jackson, who has clashed with Bucks coach Scott Skiles and is owed $10 million next season, or the Bucks would need to find another home for him.

Milwaukee also has discussed various trade scenarios with Washington for Bogut, but while that would be another acceptable destination to the 7-foot Australian, the Wizards' overtures thus far have been shot down. Washington, however, could re-enter the fray depending on how the complicated possibilities with Golden State, Orlando and Houston play out over the next 48 hours.

Efforts to engage the Warriors with the Bulls and Lakers in trade talks for Ellis have been unsuccessful, multiple sources said Monday. What pieces the Bucks would receive in a three-team scenario with Golden State and Orlando are still under discussion.

Bogut, 27, has been out since Jan. 25 with a fractured ankle but indications from doctors are that he could return for the postseason if he were on a playoff team. The Bucks (18-24) are tied with the Knicks for the eighth playoff spot in the East, a half-game ahead of Cleveland. It has been reported that Bogut has requested a trade, but neither Bogut nor his representatives have commented publicly on the matter.

The most difficult aspect of Bogut going to Golden State in the three-team scenario that would send Ellis to Orlando is Howard's apparent reluctance to commit one way or the other by Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline. Even if Howard decided he wanted to stay in Orlando, it's likely that he would opt out of his $19.5 million contract for next season anyway and test free agency, when he could get a five-year deal from Orlando as opposed to a four-year deal with one of his top two choices, the Nets or Mavericks.

[noblekane]

lol everybody knows the rockets want a big man. if lakers take scola and trash for pau ima be pissed

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

if rip cant go, i would like to go after ray allen

 

[Clyde Frog]

Sources said the Bucks have made point guard Brandon Jennings available "for the right price."

Don't get your hopes up yall. You're gonna have to actually give us something worth it (lakers fans)Jennings will be in Milwaukee until his contract is up. 

 

[sooperhooper]

I'll be glad when someone makes some moves. I'm ready for things to get interesting.

 

[ag 47]

I'm not even sure what we (Lakers) ave that would gain any interest form Milwaukee...

And what's going on there? They're shopping Jennings and Bogut? Are they intentionally trying to stay irrelevant?

 

[scientific method]

Well since Jennings made the "I'm researching big market teams" comments, I guess they figure that put them on the spot.

 

[laker4lifeman]

Looks like Allen isn't moving now if he's injured.

 

[hankmoody]

Nvm. He's back.

 

[scientific method]

wet spot, turned ankle, tittie calves

Mar 13, 2012 12:36 AM EDT

The Warriors and Rockets are discussing ways to acquire Andrew Bogut via trade from the Bucks, according to sources.

Golden State's trade for Bogut hinges on a complicated three-way trade where Monta Ellis would go to the Magic. Milwaukee's return for Bogut in such a scenario is unclear.

From Houston, Milwaukee would get Samuel Dalembert, Courtney Lee and draft picks, sources said. But a source later said that the Rockets have stepped away from trade talks with the Bucks in pursuit of another deal.

[h3]Report: Howard Preventing Trade To Bulls[/h3]
Mar 12, 2012 10:43 AM EDT

The Magic would be open to trading Dwight Howard to Chicago in exchange for Omer Asik, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and a valuable first-round pick from Charlotte, according to a report.

Chicago will not move forward with the trade scenario without assurances that Howard will sign a long-term deal with the Bulls, which he’s given no indication he’ll do.

[h3]Lakers, Celtics Discussed Rondo Trade[/h3]
Mar 12, 2012 10:38 AM EDT

The Lakers and Celtics discussed a trade centered around Rajon Rondo last week, but nothing materialized.

Los Angeles is unwilling to trade Gasol in a package for Rondo, making a deal before the deadline unlikely.

"Unless they give up Gasol, they're not going to get a top-level point guard," said a person familiar with the situation.

[h3]Kings Unlikely To Offer Extension To Evans[/h3]
Mar 12, 2012 5:05 PM EDT

The Kings are unlikely to offer Tyreke Evans an extension this summer unless he exhibits significant improvement over the remaining part of the season.

Evans has been moved from point guard to small forward under Keith Smart, where he doesn't hold as much value.

[|A-Man|]

I'd take Evans. Sac bugging if they don't flip him for something while they can.

Anybody want Landry Fields?
