Trade Deadline Deals (VERY INTERESTING)

UPDATE: The Twitter world is buzzing over the deadline which is in 20 mins. The latest about the Green is: Anthony Parker is their top target but they have several fall-backs if that doesn't happen. Latest word is that a deal may be happening.


The NBA trade deadline is now 2 hours away so there is still time for the Celtic's to make a move to make up for the loss of Marquis Daniels. The newest word around Daniels injury is that he may need season-ending but career-saving surgery. It does suck that he most likely wont make it back this season because he was playing really well but it's good to hear that it most likely will not end his career.

As we wait to see if the C's make a deal in the final hours, here are some of the deals thats already went down:
The Melo' saga ended Tuesday when the Knicks and Nuggets finally agreed upon terms to send Melo' to his hometown. NY gave up Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton and Timofey Mozgov. Denver sent Chauncey Billups, Renaldo Balkman, Shelden Williams and Anthony Carter. NY also got Corey Brewer from Minnesota as part of the trade.

Raymond Felton is having a great season and it must have been hard to let him go but what has been completely over-shadowed in this trade is NY getting Billups. He is a proven veteran with playoff experience who could really help the Knicks.

With that said, the Knicks are still missing a piece OR pieces. The main thing missing for them is a bench. Yes, you do have two super-stars but as Knicks fans will soon learn it still wont be enough to beat a veteran and deep team like the Celtics.

Melo's first game with the Knicks was last night, scoring 27 but they still struggled to put away the BUCKS!

In other trade news:

The Jazz sent their All-Star PG Deron Williams to NJ for Derrick Favors and Devin Harris. Wait what? The Jazz picked up another big guy? They now have Favors, Mehmet Okur, Paul Millsap and Big Al Jefferson among other bums who ride the bench. This trade really confuses me when I look at it from the Jazz perspective. As for the Nets, I don't think it is a terrible trade but to get rid of a young star with great potential like Favors just doesn't make sense.

The Clippers sent Baron Davis to the lowly Cavs for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon. I feel bad for B. Davis, he has struggled over the past few years and it seemed as if he was starting to have fun being able to throw the ball up and watch Blake Griffin do his thing.

The Hawks got Kirk Hinrich and Hilton Armstrong from the Wizards for Mike Bibby, Jordan Crawford and Mo Evans. The only player in this trade that makes sense to me is Jordan Crawford, he's a young athletic rookie who has a solid future ahead of him. The Wizard's got Bibby to compliment J.Wall? Atleast Hinrich could play 2 guard, Bibby is a 1 and now the Wizard's have two of them. No wonder the shitty teams in the league are so bad, the GM's of these teams don't have a clue of what they're doing.

UPDATES TO COME
