Trade Deadline Thread: Rumors and News

Tristan Thompson?

wonder if one is Indy for Turner or Sabonis

According to Woj, they are looking for a player who makes up to $12 million. Turner and Thompson make more than that.

The trade leaves the Rockets with a brief window until Thursday's trade deadline to expand this four-team trade to include up to $12M in salary on another player. They could add a player who helps now, take on a player for assets and use those to further upgrade the team, etc.

What about Al Horford for Houston? Gordon would need to agree, but I think something like House, McLemore, and Sefalosa gets pretty close.

Sixers get a much-needed shooter to spread the court. They'd need to cut a few players or redirect them to a third team to make the deal work, but it makes sense.

Edit: Nevermind. I don't think Gordon can be traded at all.

Yeah, he signed a contract extension with the Rockets on August 30. He can't be traded for 6 months following the extension, which means that he can't be traded till after the season is over.

Are they after Marcus Smart as a small ball 5? He makes 12 Million per!

Over our dead bodies!

He's making $12,553,571 this season though. Can't include him in the trade (unless they expand it even more I suppose).

Lol I just tried to see if Green-for-Burks works salary-wise on the NBA Trade Machine, and it works but it also shows Golden State's projected win total decreasing by 26 wins
