Transactions:

<=====>
The Wizards have traded Brendan Haywood to the Kings for Trenton Hassell. The Wizards gain cap relief in the deal while the Kings look to be quietly putting together a playoff contender. The Kings received Hassell as part of the 3 team trade with the Wolves and Nets less than a month ago.

<=====>
Andre Miller's tour across the nation continues. His next stop? Indiana. The Rockets have traded Miller to the Pacers for T.J. Ford. This marks the 4th team that Miller has been a part of since the start of the season. (Portland, Detroit, Houston, Indiana)


The Bulls have started off the season on a dismal 3-15 note and may start dumping salary and stockpiling draft picks. The Bulls traded Kirk Hinrich to the Thunder for a 2010 1st round draft pick.

Other News:

- Durant's 39 pushes Thunder past Warriors 119-107
- Lakers continue winning ways behind Kobe's 53
- Lopez's career high 20 rebounds leads Nets to win over Knicks
- Celtics top Power Rankings for 5th straight week
- Raptors too much for Bulls; send Chicago to 9th straight loss
- Bobcats lose 93-80; losing streak reaches 7

Hinrich to the Thunder, i actually like that gives them a great back up at PG/SG.

[RockSteady]

Old slow Miller to the Pacers for younger speedy Ford?

Hm.

[mfbmike]

I just finished the Raptors game but I'm tired. More updates tomorrow.

[Vinsane]

Holy crap Andre just can't find a home. He's like the spokesman for U-Haul now. Solid record Mike sitting just outside the playoffs. That win streak helped you gain a little ground.

Bosh Lights Up Wolves For 41 At The Air Canada Centre

Starting Lineups:
Jonny Flynn PG Jose Calderon
Ramon Sessions SG Marco Belinelli
Corey Brewer SF Hedo Turkoglu
Kevin Love PF Chris Bosh
Al Jefferson C Andrea Bargnani

(9-11) 106 @ 120 (11-11)


Chris Bosh faced shoddy defense all night and made the Wolves pay for it in a matchup north of the border.



Player Of The Game:

Chris Bosh

Quote Of The Game:
"They are an extremely difficult team to matchup with because of the fact they have bigs that can step out and knock down the 3. What that allows them to do is space the floor very well. With Al being forced to guard Andrea on the perimeter, the lane was wide open on a good portion of their trips down the floor. We just weren't able to stop the pick and roll, the Jose to Chris pick and roll plays." - Wolves Head Coach Kurt Rambis

Rumor Mill:


Mcgee confused by trade rumors
- Kings unlikely to acquire Mcgee
- Mcgee to the Clippers?


Trade talks heat up
- Oklahoma City shopping their 2010 2nd round pick for Gibson?

Injuries:


Bad news for Flip Murray of the Bobcats as he suffered a Broken Ankle injury in game played lastnight. The Bobcats are expecting him back in about 6-8 weeks.

Other News:

- Bulls get back to winning, down Nets 110-98
- James scores 29 to help Cavs hold off Grizzlies in OT
- Durant's 39 pushes Thunder past Warriors 119-107

[mfbmike]

Dude, both Mcgee and Blatche are bench warmers in Washington and are getting shafted with playing time. Riding the bench while Fabricio Oberto starts? Uh, lol. The same was happening to Haywood before Washington traded him.

:doh:

[SuperNova854]

Well atleast miller isnt on the block anymore

[Archer]

Gotta stop that pick and pop with Bosh ;)

Refs Give Wolves A Hand, Hang On In 4th To Take 2-0 Season Series Lead Over Hornets

Starting Lineups:
Jonny Flynn PG Chris Paul
Ramon Sessions SG Devin Brown
Corey Brewer SF Julian Wright
Kevin Love PF David West
Al Jefferson C Emeka Okafor

(9-12) 100 vs. 98 (9-11)


Jonny Flynn recorded a double double to go along with 6 rebounds and 3 steals to help the Wolves snap a 2 game skid.



Player Of The Game:

Al Jefferson

Quote Of The Game:
"It seemed like the refs couldn't keep the whistles out of their mouths. They got called on 24 personal fouls. A lot of which sent us to the line for easy opportunities at the charity stripe. It certainly didn't hurt our chances tonight but I don't think it was the only reason we won. We got a big spark from our bench that really helped us survive their 4th quarter push." - Jonny Flynn
