The Bucks were turned off by Ellis saying the only differences between himself and Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade were All-Star appearances and championships.

[NAHSTE]

Pistons meeting with Josh Smith now, set to make a "substantial offer."

[JimLeavy59]

Why?

I really wish the Bucks would shop Ersan around I'm sure they would be able to get something back.

[JimLeavy59]

Bucks going after Jeff Teague?

[NAHSTE]

Rumor floating that if the Rockets land Dwight, Asik would come to Atlanta in a S&T for Smith.

[JimLeavy59]

Man Dwight and Smith with Harden?

[Primetime]

Please let that happen. I wonder if Howard and Smith would be willing to take a little pay cut.....doubtful.

[EmpireWF]

Bobcats going after Al Jefferson and apparently, Korver is going to the Nets.

Howard, Harden, Josh Smiff?

Well, damn.

I'm very intrigued to see if Dwight goes to a place with no pressure, like Houston...he's grown into a pretty stagnant player. His game hasn't improved in years now. But, he's been hating life...so, a nice, new, fresh start, say, in Houston, with James Harden...I'm really interested to see what happens to him as a player.

Portland sends maybe the basketball's best name to Houston in the Robinson deal. Kostas Papanikolau.

[JimLeavy59]

90 minutes into free agency. No word on Monta yet. His agent must be too busy fielding offers to leak list of interested teams to Woj.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Oh, and...Nets will actually include MarShon Brooks in Celtics deal over Reggie Evans. That makes the deal even better for the Nets. Evans all about dat #thuglife.

Full deal.

Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Jason Terry to the Nets.

Gerald Wallace, Kris Humphries, MarShon Brooks, Kris Joseph, and S+T Keith Bogans
First Rounders in 14, 16, and 18, with an option to swap in 17.

Nets roster next year looking something like this...

C - Brook Lopez
PF - Kevin Garnett / Reggie Evans / Mason Plumlee
SF - Paul Pierce / Mirza Teletovic / Tornike Shengelia
SG - Joe Johnson / Jason Terry
PG - Deron Williams / Tyshawn Taylor

Need to sign a backup defense-oriented center, need to sign a spot-up shooter, and a backup point guard.
