Truth And Rumors (trade deadline talk)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
In past years there have been plenty of trades not announced until after the deadline. 15, 30 minutes later. I don't know how they decide "later stages", but in terms of announcements at least...


I believe that there has to be a trade call about each trade and that often happens after deadline but in most of these situation the names are known to league prior to deadline.
 
Fucking Christ...

Really want to know why Grant didn't take one of the firsts multiple teams were supposedly offering, opting to keep Speights.

i've bolded the part that answers your question.
 
Okc got another pick??? I'd b pissed if I'm Durant a d Westbrook .. Team saying they aren't doing anything to win now

Bucks, I'm told, working on acquiring JJ Redick before deadline and NOT trying to complete deal for Josh Smith

Let's chill until (if) we find more details. Teams could've changed their minds, especially with how he's been playing recently.

Five minutes until deadline, but that means little. Teams can inform league office they're dotting "i's" & crossing "t's" and get more time.

Sounds like there's really no "standard" as far as "later stages" go.

Sam Amick‏@sam_amick

San Antonio's DeJuan Blair is stuck with the Spurs, I'm told. No deal done for him at the deadline.
 
I'm gonna be pissed if Josh Smith doesn't get traded. I thought that was a sure fire deal. I want at least something semi big to happen please.
 
Why even complain about not getting a first rounder for Speights? We got a lotto pick to take him, yeah it sucks we couldn't flip him but no biggie
 
I don't really care about pulling off another big move, but why just hang onto Gibson and Walton when that's 10 mil in expiring money?? At least get another 2nd rd pick or something!

Source: Hawks have pulled out of deal to send Josh Smith to Bucks.

Sam "Scam" The Bullshit Whisperer is a rumormonger hack who knows absolute diddly.

Because it's a walkable asset that has more than second round value.
