Trade rumors are flying!


But he doesn't share any!!!

It's good to know that trade rumors are flying. I'll have to send him a thank you tweet since I was unaware of the rumors.
 
After Saturday's game in Sacramento, the Jazz only play 3 games before the Trade Deadline. Good time to get a new guy in for his physical and practice.
 
Long-time NBA reporter Chris Sheridan is reporting the Wolves are expected to move guard Luke Ridnour. Utah likes Ridnour, according to a source. But a separate source said the Jazz are not willing to deal guards Alec Burks and Raja Bell for Ridnour. In fact, Burks is off-limits in the discussions involving Ridnour. The most logical scenario involves Utah sacrificing the worse of its two first-round picks in the June draft -- the Jazz also owns Golden State's selection -- and Bell for Ridnour. Bell has an expiring contract. The Wolves don't appear to be involved in any blockbuster trade talks. 1500 ESPN

Mr. O'Lindsey, I don't want to watch Lidinour lead us to the 7th spot. I don't want to watch Minnesota draft #21 with the GS pick. Let Burks play. Let me dream about two draft picks. If you can't sell a contender, try to sell me hope!


Oh, and why the Hell are the Jazz always on the bad end of the salary dumps? Minnesota shoud be giving Utah a pick for taking on salary! Memphis just gave two rotation players, a prospect and a pick to Cleveland in exchange for an expiring deal. Augh!


:o I know it is just a rumour, and there is no need to get all up in arms about it. But seriously, everybody knows the jazz are going to do something, could the Jazz atleast make up some really good rumours that look like they work in the Jazz's favor or that they are trying? Sigh.
 
^^^^ agree.

****, just let Burks play. Ridnour is well-short of anything I'm interested in. No way do you surrender a pick for him... even in the early 20s.

NO
 
Thanks. And like I said, doesn't that mean the time for amnesty has passed for this season? No team will be able to amnesty a player until next July. So it's not really applicable to this thread.

Yes but I think myself and nightmare were talking about possible players being amnestied in the off season that The jazz would be interested in putting waivers in for!!!
 
Hornets open to moving Eric Gordon?

Bobcats and Nets to swap Ben Gordon and Kris Humphries?

Shawn Marion says he won't report to new team if he is traded to a lottery bound team ( he plays on a lottery bound team)

3. Ken, it's trade season. Give me three teams you expect to be buyers and three teams you expect to be sellers.

I believe the buyers will be teams with the most cap space this summer: Atlanta, Utah and Cleveland. Because let's be honest. If you're not getting Dwight Howard or Chris Paul in free agency -- and they're not -- who are you getting? Better to parlay your assets and room into veteran talent now -- and talent that's probably on a shorter contract than the four-year deal that you'd have to give to a mediocre free agent(Bargnani, Thompson, Stuckey, Marion). I still view the Celtics as a seller to some degree because they're $1.5 million over the tax and clearly aren't a title contender. All the other tax teams pretty much intended to be there, but another team I see as a potential seller is Indiana (Danny Granger). And if it's possible for Atlanta to be a buyer and a seller, they're a seller when it comes to Josh Smith.
 
NO does this because they get what Austin Rivers was supposed to be (Burks)
They get Milsap and get rid of that crummy Eric Gordon contract.
Jazz do this to get a star. The 2 first round picks suck anyways, so it's a good deal. Maybe a bit much considering Eric Gordon's contract situation and his injury status.

Good trade! Not sure about Eric's injury history or long term effects but if healthy, he's an all star.
