NBA Trade deadline '13

[Larvell Blanks]

Just figured I'd get this in here just in case anything big or unusual goes down.

Don't expect to see anything but you never know

Id love to convert Speights into a draft pick, but I dont see it happening.

The Thomas Robinson trade was one of the most confusing in recent memory.

I'd keep him.

When we deal Andy for a better pick and Oden miraculously heals and blows up into the prenmier around the rim defender in the east and Bron comes back to play the 3 in two years he'll be that nice depth off the bench inside you need to win 2 / 3 championships.

It's a flawles plan. Just need to make sure Greg gets an apartment on ground level to keep his new dog safe. That's the only way it could go wrong.

One of Sam Amico's 5 trades that should be made

5. Minnesota F Derrick Williams to Cleveland for PF Marreese Speights.

Williams can’t seem to find a role (or a position), and for the Timberwolves, it’s time to move on. Where better to send the 2011 No. 2 overall pick than the team that took Kyrie Irving No. 1 in the same draft?

Williams would get a fresh start on a young team that could afford to let him grow.

The Cavs are looking for another first-round pick, but Williams is likely more of a sure thing than they’ll find at, say, No. 18.

Besides that, they pretty much have to deal Speights or risk letting him walk at season’s end, when his contract will expire if he declines to pick up his player option, as expected.

The Wolves, meanwhile, could afford to let him test free agency with Kevin Love already on the roster.

and I just wanted to say how much I love and missed optimistic, pro Cavs JB

[CAVSTRIBEBROWNSin07!]

Wha? Why would the Wolves do that? This season is lost for them anyway, Speights would be a depth rental for a contender.

I can see them trading Williams and Ridnour in a package for a legit 2 though.

[Larvell Blanks]

^ my first reaction when I saw that too. No way could that be a straight up trade

Cue up Eye's meltdown in 3...2...1....

and it's justified here.

Wha? Why would the Wolves do that?

Ask Amico's Western Conference GM.

Ask Amico's imaginary Western Conference GM.
