The 2010 NBA Draft is only seven hours away, which means you can bet big money that trades are going to start swinging left and right.
For all the major buzz, news, rumors, and trades, head over to NBA Watercooler.com for the majority of the day, but for the moment, take a look at some of the biggest NBA news surrounding the NBA Draft:
Oklahoma City Thunder Land 18th Pick in Draft and Daequan Cook in Trade With Heat. (more…)
According to SI.com, the Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings have agreed to a trade that will send Tracy McGrady, Carl Landry, and Joey Dorsey to Sacramento in exchange for Kevin Martin, Hilton Armstrong, Sergio Rodriguez, and Kenny Thomas.
Considering it had been widely reported that the Rockets were to be deciding between dealing McGrady to the Bulls or Knicks, the Kings move comes as a bit of a surprise. (more…)
With the NBA trade deadline now just a day away, rumors are swirling throughout the league involving several high-profile players and contending teams.
Now, here’s a midday rundown of what we could see coming in the next 24 hours. (more…)
According to Yahoo! Sports, the Houston Rockets and New York Knicks are working out a trade that would send Tracy McGrady, Brian Cook, and Joey Dorsey to New York in exchange for Jordan Hill, Jared Jeffries, and either Al Harrington or Larry Hughes.
The reports also indicate that the Rockets and Knicks would be swapping first-round draft picks in 2011 as well, with the Knicks also shipping over a draft pick in 2012.
For New York, the incentive to do this deal is clear: it would free up about another $10 million for this summer, giving them even more cash to spend on the crop of high-profile free agents. (more…)
If you follow the NBA and haven’t heard by now, well, you just haven’t been paying attention.
True, the All-Star game and festivities have somewhat stolen the show in Dallas over the past three days, but Dallas has been in the news for other reasons, as well.
The Mavericks were involved in a huge deal over the weekend, marking the first big splash since the Charlotte Bobcats swung a deal for Stephen Jackson at the beginning of the season.
Dallas said good-bye to the extremely talented, yet disappointing Josh Howard, while sending veteran journey-man Drew Gooden (as well as two other players) for Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, and DeShawn Stevenson. (more…)
According to reports by Yahoo! Sports, Marcus Camby is officially a Portland Trail Blazer, as the Los Angeles Clippers swung a deal that brought in back-up point guard Steve Blake, forward Travis Outlaw, and a reported $3 million in cash.
This trade works best for Portland, who has been depending solely on veteran Juwan Howard and LaMarcus Aldridge for inside scoring and defense, ever since losing Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla for the season. (more…)
With the NBA’s trade deadline just under a week away, rumors of potential trades are seemingly increasing by the hour.
One team at the forefront of several different trade winds is the Washington Wizards.
The Wizards, at a dismal 17-33 entering the All-Star Break, possess several different tradable parts that are clearly appealing to various teams throughout the league.

Ken Berger of CBSSports.com recently posted a column that dove further into the possibility of Boston Celtics veteran guard Ray Allen going to a new home.
A number of teams have been discussed in possible trade scenarios, as the Chicago Bulls are in the mix to get some cap relief, while also acquiring some talent to help them continue their playoff push.
The Celtics feel the same way. (more…)
To put it nicely, the Rockets have had a rough January. They blew a crucial opportunity to move up in the standings on their first substantial homestand of the year, losing four of six games and falling back out of the playoff picture for now.
With each day, the Rockets’ chances of reaching the playoffs dwindle, as the Western Conference now includes eleven above average teams instead of the usual nine with the success of the Thunder and Grizzlies. (more…)
The NBA trade deadline is a little over two weeks away, forcing teams to get into full gear and decide who they want to keep for a title run, or whether or not the playoffs are worth sacrificing their team’s future.
One of the latest, hottest NBA trade rumors is coming out of Cleveland, where LeBron James is reportedly very interested in landing Washington Wizards’ forward Antawn Jamison as a new teammate, and rightfully so. (more…)
