NBA trade deadline just 13 HRs away.....

[daggerkobe]

Will there be a blockbuster deal?

No -140
Yes +125


I don't see any all-star star player being traded.

I think Amare is staying put after the b2b 140pt explosions.

[rjt721]

Surely nothing will be as big as the Chris Mihm blockbuster from earlier in the day.

[Tsoprano]

Yes +125 please

[daggerkobe]

Who u think is going, T?

I have Amare, Bosh and Jamison staying put after reading statements from their GMs.

Vince is probably the #1 most likely to move..... but I think he will ultimately stay put.

[Chi_archie]

thought the bulls might make another move....

wouldn't be a blockbuster by any account.... heard alot of talk of Amare coming here a few days ago, but I doubt that now

[Fiasco]

vince is gone imo

[daggerkobe]

2 hours left.....

Latest trade rumor: Shaq to Cavs!

[Sinister Cat]

Hughes for Tim Thomas and Jerome James... don't get this one from the Bulls' perspective. All contracts expire next year so it wasn't a financial thing for either team.

[daggerkobe]

Not a blockbuster trade though.

I want Vince to go to the Spurs.... Shaq to Cavs.... Bosh to Bulls.... come on, make SOMETHING happen!

[Iwinyourmoney]

shaq to cavs would me insane.

Maybe Marbury will get dealt

[Iwinyourmoney]

In a proposal first reported by the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic were offered to the Suns for O'Neal as part of the Cavs' well-chronicled quests to add one more big man for the playoffs and show LeBron that they will do anything necessary to win a championship.

[gm2022]

Would love to see if Shaq and LB would work!

Looks like Shaq to Cavs is dead.

ESPN.com contributor Brian Windhorst of the Cleveland Plain Dealer is reporting that the Cavs have offered Ben Wallace and Sasha Pavlovic to the Phoenix Suns for O'Neal.
And sources close to the process have confirmed to ESPN.com that the teams are indeed in talks involving O'Neal, which would offer the Suns some of the payroll relief they've been seeking. Because only $1.5 million of Pavlovic's contract is guaranteed next season, Phoenix would slice $5.5 million off of its 2009-10 payroll if it agreed to send Shaq to the Cavs.
It's believed, though, that the Suns are resistant to taking back Wallace and are thus trying to convince Cleveland to part with Wally Szczerbiak's $13.8 million expiring contract instead, which would turn this into a huge financial windfall for Phoenix.
UPDATE (12:29 p.m. ET): Multiple sources with knowledge of the talks between Cleveland and Phoenix today are saying as of noon that a deal actually coming together to team Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James is very unlikely.
No one is denying that the teams have talked, but we're getting strong hints now that this deal is in no way close.
UPDATE (1:11 p.m. ET): Sources say a Shaq-to-Cavs deal is unlikely by today's deadline.

Looks like I was right about Vince staying, unfortunately.

Carter

Chad Ford: Spies in New Jersey say it looks like Vince Carter will finish the season as a Net. With just 45 minutes to go before the trade deadline, trade talks stalled with Carter. It's not impossible that things heat up right toward the end, but right now the odds are strongly in favor of Carter remaining in New Jersey, unless Nets owner Bruce Ratner comes back to management and tells them to dump him at any cost.
