Nba Trade Deadline

The Big Names Stay In Place On Nba Trade-deadline Day

... every trade that followed paled in comparison. "You know where all those big dominoes are? They're still home, with the exception of one," Miami President Pat Riley said. "I'm sure there were people that probably made some pretty significant offers. When you have that kind of player. it takes a lot to say, `OK, we're going to let this guy go.' You stay with the sure thing there.". George remained with the Indiana Pacers, even though the four-time All-Star knew other teams sought his services. Jimmy Butler stayed with the Chicago Bulls, and the New York Knicks held onto Rose and Anthony - the latter of whom would have had to waive his no-trade clause to make any deal occur anyway. "I wasn't concerned," George said. "At the end of the day, I'm in a good situation. I heard the rumors, different rumors, but I can't control what was going to happen one way or another.". The biggest moves of this trade season came long before deadline day. Toronto getting forward Serge Ibaka from Orlando last week for Terrence Ross figures to improve ...

(AP Photo | Tony Dejak). After weeks of speculation, reports and rumors about Paul George,   Jimmy Butler , Carmelo Anthony , the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers, the NBA trade deadline  has come and gone, meaning teams are no longer allowed to make trades. So who made the most of their last chance to improve their roster. Here is a look at some of the winners and losers. Dallas Mavericks: The deal the Mavericks pulled off for Noel was a steal, as they will essentially end up giving two second-round picks for one of the best defensive centers in the league.  Even though Noel is a restricted free agent this offseason, the Mavericks get will have the right to match any offer he signs, or simply sign him on their own. Protecting the rim is a must in the NBA, and the Mavericks got one of the best in the league at it for pair of late draft picks. Los Angeles Lakers: The Lakers got some ...

Celts Want Paul George? Here Are 40 Players On The Block

... fit next to Rudy Gobert , though, and the Jazz have  reportedly “tested the market” on him over the past few weeks. The Suns have  reportedly reached out about Favors , but it doesn’t sound like Utah is in a rush to move him unless it gets an amazing offer. Brandon Knight , Phoenix Suns : It’s hard to think of another youngish player whose value has declined as much as Knight’s the past couple of seasons. The 25-year-old no longer is part of this core, and in his sixth year, he’s still more of a combo guard than the cerebral point guard he has always wanted to be. The trouble is that he’ll be making $15.6 million in 2019-20, so there’s risk involved for any team acquiring him, regardless of Phoenix’s asking price. Taj Gibson , Chicago Bulls: The longest-tenured Bull was linked to the ...

Grading Mavericks' Move To Acquire Nerlens Noel From 76ers

... injury issues and league executives were concerned with his maturity. But he’s a defensive stalwart with great athleticism and this benefits the Mavericks considerably. Let’s grade the trade. DALLAS MAVERICKS. SURRENDERS: Justin Anderson, top-18 protected first-round pick, Andew Bogut. GRADE: A. Great value pick-up for the Mavericks here. They get a 6-foot-11 22-year-old shot blocker and rebounder, which they badly need next to Dirk Nowitzki, and get a young centerpiece to put next to Harrison Barnes. Anderson regressed this season, the pick is unlikely to convey (more on this in a second) and Bogut doesn’t fit their future plans. The pick is important here. Getting it top-18 protected for this season is a great deal, as the Mavericks are unlikely to make the playoffs, and even if they do, they have cushion. The question is what happens to the pick if it doesn’t convey this season. If it becomes two 2 nds, or another 1 st, then it gets a little more curious, but remains a good deal for Dallas. Noel’s shot-blocking and athleticism are sorely missing on an aging roster. Dallas needed a player like this and it got one without ...

Bulls Deal Gibson, Mcdermott To Okc For Payne Package

... heavy minutes or justify a big salary behind Westbrook. This is the third backup guard the Thunder have groomed and then dealt for good return. BULLS’ GRADE: D. The Bulls get a good player in Payne. Had they done Gibson for Payne, it would have made sense. But they basically gave up Gibson and Mc Dermott and a pick for Payne. Morrow has been unable to earn playing time in his past few stops. Lauvergne is a bit player. Payne shoots 30.8 percent from deep, and is joining the league’s worst 3-point shooting team, a team that just gave up Mc Dermott’s 37.8 percent - making their spacing worse. Gibson has been underpaid and underappreciated for years. They could have received more in past years, but dealt him this season, along with a good young shooter, and a pick, for a backup point guard to whom they’ll have to commit big money after making the Rajon Rondo deal. This doesn’t help much short or long-term, and they failed to couple it with significant changes to kick-start a ...

How Deals Might Change Plans For 2017 Nba Draft

... be looking for the highest upside on a pick in the early-to-mid 20 s. Perhaps Harry Giles, hoping for a recovery. Perhaps Isaiah Hartenstein, hoping for the next imported superstar, and without any hurry. As for the Lakers, a late first-rounder may be just the place Magic Johnson looks to ameliorate one of the great mistakes of the last administration, namely looking at Timofey Mozgov as some kind of starting center anchor for years to come. Guys like Thomas Bryant , Tacko Fall, Zach Collins and maybe even Johnathan Motley could be there when Los Angeles makes its second pick of the first round. And frankly, no one makes a lot of sense in the top three when it comes to fives in this draft, so chances are good they’ll still need one by then. The Kings, though: I mean, they need everything. Let’s assume for argument’s sake that they want Buddy Hield to be Stephen Curry. So the one is, well, occupied. ...

Okc Makes Biggest Move As Marquee Names Stay Put

... City receives: Taj Gibson, Doug Mc Dermott, 2018 second-round pick. Chicago receives: Anthony Morrow, Cameron Payne, Joffrey Lauvergne. This trade, as reported by The Vertica l, helps Oklahoma City add more pieces around Russell Westbrook for a late-season playoff push. Chicago's addition of Payne just adds to a crowded guard position that includes Dwyane Wade, Rajon Rondo, Michael Carter-Williams and Jerian Grant. Lauvergne is averaging 5.7 points while Morrow is averaging 5.8 points. 76 ers trade with Mavs. Philadelphia receives: Andrew Bogut, Justin Anderson, 2018 first-round draft pick. Dallas receives: Nerlens Noel. The Mavs get the player they've wanted for a while. This also clears up Philadelphia's problem of having too many big men on the roster, as the Sixers initially were shopping around Jahlil Okafor. Philly will most likely buyout Bogut's contract, making him a free agent, although under NBA rules he wouldn't be allowed to rejoin the Warriors. Raptors trade with Suns. Toronto receives: ...
