NBA Off Season Trades
We are talking about Charlotte. They don't always make the best trades. Besides, crazier things could happen?

LA needs a decent point guard too. Fisher is getting a bit past it these days. I heard some websites throwing around DJ Augustin's name as potential target for the Lakers. The guy is a gun!

@ranga - Chicago are the obvious choices, they are crying out for a decent SG. Though I did read that the GM and coach of the Grizz have no intent to trade him.

Do you think that the Grizzlies will try and trade O.J Mayo at the end of the season? Because of committing finacially to Gay, Randolf and Gasol there isn't enough cap room for him which makes him dispensable. If so, who would be interested in him?

The problem to start with is that Rondo is $10 mill per while Westbrook is only on $5 mill next season. The Thunder would have to throw in more to salary to make it work.
Westbrook doesn't really solve Boston's problems either. Boston was a top two team in the first half of the season. What stopped them from carrying that into the post season was three things:
- Rondo's injury problems (plantar fasciitis, bad back, then his elbow)
- Lack of help in the paint for KG due to injuries to the O'Neal's and Krstic
- Loss of chemistry after the trade
The Celtics don't need to swap Rondo for Westbrook, they need some healthy frontline support. So I don't see Ainge doing this trade unless they also address other deficiencies, which would mean acquiring Ibaka and Collison too (and the Thunder would never do that)!!!

Yep, but not as funny as the Gay-Love Grizzlies woulda been! Why Chris Wallace? Why would you turn down that combo? Would've been awesome!


The $$ do work out, checked on the Trade Machine, but yeah, it's not likely. Although, with the play of Taj Gibson, I wouldn't be surprised if Boozer was on the block next season.

OKC would not even be slightly interested in any of those trades, the team has just made the western conference and could potentially win the big one this year. They're not looking for a big shake up.

I think the Boozer for Harden trade is pretty solid. Maybe the Bulls throw in Brewer too?
