It's Trade Deadline Day! All trades must be done by 3pm EST. We'll try to keep you up to date as trades happen and give you a fairly comprehensive list.
Trade Deadline Watch:
According to Marc Stein, Robert Sarver told Amar'''''e last night in closed-door meeting that Apostrophe is unlikely to be traded. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Excuse me while I go break something.
Also per Chad Ford, a proposed trade between the Pacers and Bobcats involving T.J. Ford for D.J. Augustine and Nazr Mohammed was NOT able to be done and talks fell apart in the last hour.
Boozer-to-Miami talks happened, but the Jazz were decidedly not interested. No deal.
UPDATE: John Hollinger brings us news of a Null-Star getting moved! "Looks like Wash just got under the luxury tax and won't need Z's help to get there ... @MrMichaelLee says they're paying Sac to take McGuire"

Mavericks get: Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, DeShawn Stevenson and his crazy ass tattoos
Worst of the Night in Pictures:
Nationally Televised Games:
Nuggets at Crabs: This could be the first chance for us to see Antawn Jamison suit up for Cleveland. Because of course he'll be such an important game-changer unlike that LeBaron or LeBran or whatever that dude's name is.
Celtics at Lakers: Oh, damn it all.

is ANYONE going to sign with Team Maloof? Even if Arco is Tyreke the Freak's house, it's a house that needs a recaulking, reroofing, and well, probably should have been renovated at the same time KeyArena was.
(And yet KeyArena isn't "good enough" for the Association, while Arco chugs along, go figure.)
Bitgod:
I don't know how this will all shake out in the end in terms of "does this make us better"
All I know is, I’ve lost interest in watching the Kings in the short term. I just feel ill about this and I’m going to do something else with my time for a while. If they had at least made one of the other team take Peaches, that would have made things OK.
(Honestly, like watching this team lose most games with Mr. Discount Store was better?)
Really!?
UPDATE (12:48 PM):
Per Sam Amick: Kings to acquire Washington's Dominic McGuire and cash for a future second round pick, a source close to the Wiz tells me.
WHAT!?
The prime Leastern Conference lacktion null-star may be changing teams!??!
Amar''''''e still in Phoenix.
The Bricks with more cap room than my Bulls.
The Crabs get Jamison while the Celtics get Nate Robinson.
The Kings, well, yeah.
Meh.
1) We get to see how the Knee-Mac deal will somehow fuck up the Bricks even more than they are now.
2) Lacktator trading!
3) The Bullets are now basically a Null-Star time in real life and are completely tanking this season
But yeah, Amar'''''e staying and Nate Robinson being the only Celtics deal make me want to punch myself in the groin while wearing brass knuckles.
As a Kings fan, I am completely confused as to what the point of the recent transactions are, I'm not sure the team quite gets the urgency by which the community needs them to return to the postseason.
http://www.nba.com/players/index.html
I'm not the biggest Brewer fan but that is a ridiculous transaction. If they wanted to save money then they should have dumped Boozer for expiring contracts (they seemingly had a couple of offers). Memphis instantly gets better by improving their (previously nonexistent) bench and my Jazz get worse yet again for the second trade this season.
"Penetration will wear them out!"
I think whatever assets Brewer gave us will be regained by being able to play Matthews, Korver, and Miles more. All three seem to play better when they get long stretches, and while Brewer topped all three of them in inside game, Matthews is an equally strong defender and Korver and Miles gives us the outside shooting we so desperately lack (especially with Okur nearly wetting his pants every time he gets the opportunity to shoot a 3).
Like I said, I'm not the biggest Brewer fan. The guy can't shoot for shit and despite his reputation is far from a great defender. What he IS, however, is very athletic. On perhaps the least athletic team in the league 1-12 (outunathleticized only by, perhaps, the Pacers) that should not be taken lightly. For all his faults, the guy could slash and finish with the best of them. He gave Utah another dimension and those are things that I don't think any other player on their roster can fill. They just became even more reliant on the jump shot.
What bothers me is not that he was traded, mind you, but that he was traded purely for financial reasons. They reportedly had a couple of Boozer deals on the table for expiring contracts and we all know he isn't in their plans from here on out. Unless they plan on doing a sign-and-trade over the summer, the Brewer trade seems extremely short sighted.
Stockton:
Hinrich was born to play for Sloan. He would have fit in immediately. Even Tyrus might not have been as hilariously a poor fit as it seems initially. Jerry Sloan is underrated at getting the best out of his players and adapting to their talents. People say he is old school and unflexible but the Jazz of the past few years are very unlike the Stocktonmalone teams. Today's team is more freewheeling, plays at a faster pace, runs more isos and (unfortunately) is less concerned with defense. He is tough and demands discipline on offense and defense but he doesn't insist on doing things HIS way at the expense of the team. That's the definition of a great coach to me.
He also has a tendency of making some guys look like future stars. Remember the huge deals other teams gave Howard Eisley and Shandon Anderson based on their Utah play? He also got a couple of good seasons out of Donyell Marshall. I could see Tyrus playing really well for them if he bought into the system even halfway.
I'm BIG Sloan fan, and one of the reasons the Jazz have been so stable, unlike other "rebuilding teams", IS Sloan!!! But Sloan doesn't take crap, and if Tyrus would enter and starting firing at will, skulls would crash! On the other way, maybe he would jumpstart a couple of his non-working brain cells, and fit into the system. By the way, and since the Bulls want to get rid of Kirk's contract, I don't know why the Jazz didn't make a trade... but more on Sloan; one of his acusations is that he doens't "develop" players and hates rookies. Well... Deron Williams, Brewer, Millsap, Mathews, even Maynor... that's not enough? Of course he didn't "develop" DeShawn, but I can't consider that HIS fault!
It really, really is...
Actually, he'll be off the books in a few months and the Bricks escaped $9 million more in salary than anybody thought was possible. Damn them to hell! I don't want them stealing any FAs from the Bulls...
Amar''''''e will be pissed that playing defence for one game against the Mavs wasn't enough of an audition to land him on a contender team. He'll now have to play D for the rest of the year. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise for Phoenix. That block on Marion ricocheted awesome all the way here to Australia.
How 'bout it, huh? Although the liklihood of STAT playing D for the next few months is right up there with "Magical Goat Growing Directly Out of my Left Eyeball."
...kill me...
AnacondaHL -- Wanna just do a double suicide? I mean, we could ask Amar''''e to kill us and get it over with, but he'd pick up a gun or knife and either just say "Eh, screw it" and not bother killing us, or he'd somehow poke himself in the eye.
BTW, YAY DOMINIC MCGUIRE GOES TO THE PAUPERS! If the Null-Star game was held today, would he provide a competitive disadvantage when teamed with Novak!?
