We need to be on the phone...

...with every team in the league...like any good organization. But, specifically with:

Bulls and Celtics for Rush or maybe Jones (though I'm pretty cool with the way Jones is playing and don't think Boston has enough to offer for him). I really don't see how Courtney Lee is any better than Rush. Make the call Larry.

Tons of teams regarding Ford, but specifically Atlanta.

NJ regarding Granger....just to see what they'd offer...for now. I actually think Granger should stay assuming we only get "fair" value in a trade, but if we got "unfair value" we'd probably have to move on it. The Clippers might be another option, but not until the off-season probably.

I also could see some teams being interesed in Dunleavy, but most would have to send back at least a somewhat unattractive contract back. So then we have to look at what youth/picks are being included.

I'd also like to see us try and stick our nose in any other trades going on since we have expiring deals and more cap space than we'll be able to use in 2011.

Any other thoughts here in the 11th hour?

Move Rush.

Revel in successful trade deadline.

But, in all seriousness, unless its for picks not massively interested in any particular players… that we can get, at least.

eh nothing wll happen

I bet Rush or Dunleavy are a lot of teams “fall back” or 3rd option.

Like the Bulls and Celtics want Parker or Battier or whatever and if they can’t get them… they may see how cheaply they can get Rush.

I really wish we could get bradley from the Celtics (its not like they need a PG) but I don’t see it happening.

Bradley would be nice.

We won't do anything, I bet!

Once again, we’ve all been anticipating “moves” from the front office,and once again, I’d bet my house that we stand pat. Like, we’re such a super fantastic team the way we are. We are just mediocre at the best, and we have to play our best to beat the bad teams. Detroit proved that theory. Dunleavy has always been a favorite of mine, because of his 3 point shooting, but after watching him last night against Washington, it’s obvious, he has no defensive ability at all. But, in saying that, his only major value to our team now, is his contract, which i’m sure we’ll hold on to, until the summer. Everyday for the past month, I"ve been reading every sports article I can, to see if there’s any viable deals that I think we’ll make, and I’ve come to this conclusion ….WE AIN’T DOING ANYTHING!

What?

While I agree that the Pacers should have beaten Detroit, I’d hardly say they were playing at their best.

I know the Pacers have players they could offload, but I don’t really see anyone that’d be worth their wile to trade for. Unless the front office at OKC gets drunk and decides they’d love to trade Ibaka for Solo.
