Just saw on twitter that barnes is close to going to the Cavs and CLE would give up Jack

I'd embed the tweet into my post but I can't figure out how

that's got to be one of the dumbest trades in a while is GSW does it . Jack isn't putting them over the top , and Barnes has all-star potential .


Steal Barnes Danny ! Give em Green, Bradley and Clips pick

Am told reports of Dubs and Cavs being "close" on a Harrison Barnes-centric deal are not accurate. At least for now.

That last sentence is the intriguing part.

Not sure it's true. Seems to be a hoax. Celticsblog twitter account is saying it's not true now.

Sorry about that. I shouldn't have posted it. My fault there

I am seeing Monroe for Barnes rumors on twitter , that would make a LOT more sense than Jack for Barnes. Unless it's Jack and Deng for Barnes and filler

Seems like there may have been something behind it.

Perhaps a false report to spur Pistons interest in Barnes.

Maybe a Monroe for Barnes straight up swap?

Orlando strongly inclined to keep Arron Afflalo past trade deadline and revisit deals around NBA Draft in June, league sources tell Yahoo.

Shouldn't they be trading away all their good players for pennies to tank harder?

I know this trade is supposedly nowhere close based on that tweet but let's think about this for a second... GSW had Jack last year. i highly doubt they ever thought about trading Barnes for Jack unless they're getting Cleveland's 2014 pick i mean seriously that would be one of the dumbest things you could do as the Warriors

Whisper.......be very very quiet.......shueeeesss........no they should keep their good players and sign one more good player for good measure ......

I'm looking for trades to improve their immediate lot ....

Unable to secure a 1st-round pick in a deal for Evan Turner, Sixers may now take a 2nd as part of package for '10 No. 2 pick, sources say.


Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS  8m
Philly has plenty of room to take back salary for Turner and is averse to signing him to a nearly $9M qualifying offer this summer.



Sixers desperate to get rid of Turner, don't really blame them

Have to think CHA pulls the trigger on something with the Ben Gordon expiring.  Turner to them. PHI is in full tank mode at this point anyhow.
