Trade Deadline Rumors and Deals Thread

[Chief Macho]

Sad to see the fans have so little faith in our team.

We are young and we are tough. I don't want Ainge making any short-term panic moves. His patience has put us in a remarkable position, and thank god for that.

Uh-oh.  Fan police just showed up to ruin our good time.

The Lakers gave up on Zubac?

Interesting.

They also just let go of guys like Randle, Lopez, etc in the past when they could have brought them back (RFA). Magic has been overrated as a GM. He was lucky the Russell trade net them Kuzma but otherwise he's been mediocre. Lebron was going to LA anyways regardless if Magic was there. And look now, it seems LBJ (w/media and Rich Paul) has more control of the Lakers lol.

I am just afraid the good shooting well from Morris is already drying up and Smart will be next.

The Grizzlies are keeping Mike Conley, league sources tell ESPN. Memphis discussed deals with multiple teams, but ultimately decided to hold onto their franchise point guard.

Looks like the Lakers will be entering the "Dark Ages" once Lebron is gone.

If the Lakers fail to make the playoffs this season, this will be the 6th straight season the Lakers have failed to make the playoffs.

They will match the Celts' 6-seasons of missing the playoffs from 1996 to 2001.

Can confirm the Lakers have traded Michael Beasley and Ivica Zubac to the Clippers for Mike Muscala, seeking shooting. This also gives them an open roster spot.

Looks like Gortat will be available

Reports: Clippers to waive veteran Gortat
Not so much a trade here, of course, but a name to keep an eye on the waiver wire one he officially reaches that point. Per Shams Charania and Jovan Buha of The Athletic, the LA Clippers intend to waive center Marcin Gortat.

The Golden State Warriors are a team Gortat may be interested in joining once everything settles down, trade-wise, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports:

[Gortat] has interest in joining the Warriors but the defending champs plan to wait until the dust settles to get a clearer picture of what is available on the market.

Magic getting Fultz means Vucevic to the Celts now highly unlikely.
