Source: NBA Team Looking To Make Some Sort Of Transaction
NEW YORK--A league source is reporting than an unspecified NBA team is looking to make some sort of transaction this summer. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, believes the transaction could take place before the draft, after the draft, or on the night of the draft.
“There’s definitely going to be a transaction this summer involving one or more teams in the NBA,” the source said. “From what I’m hearing it could be an Eastern Conference team looking to move up in the draft or possibly Western Conference team looking to unload payroll, or it could be just a one-for-one swap of veterans or possibly a multi-team deal involving all of the above. That’s the noise I’m hearing anyway. If I was any player on any team in the league, I’d be watching my back, because someone’s pulling the trigger on something at some point.”
The rumor was confirmed by an Eastern Conference GM, who claimed the deal will probably hinge on how the top five selections in the draft unfold.
“I think we’re gonna see some movement as soon as Atlanta, Memphis, and Boston make their picks,” said the GM. “Could it involve some team at the bottom of the draft looking to acquire one of the lottery picks? Absolutely. It could also involve a lottery team trading down to get some veteran help. I’m hearing the names Kevin Garnett, Shawn Marion, Pau Gasol, Jason Kidd, Zach Randolph, Rashard Lewis, and Jermaine O’Neal, so you know this rumor is legit. Names like that don’t get bandied about very often.”
Currently there are approximately 30 teams in the NBA that have needs to fill. There are also dozens of players in the league that are very good and would be attractive to any team looking to improve their roster........

Id like to know what this one team is gonna make a transaction with itself with.. Is it a salary dump move? Draft picks involved? This could really shake things up!
The first time I read one of these brushbacks I had no clue what they were. I thought it was a serious article before I caught on. lol.

I've stumbled across brushback before, so I knew what to expect. The sad part is that it was not much worse than the drivil that some columnists post.
It's like when Gambo and Ash breathlessly announce a major deal is in the works, but when nothing happens explain that it fell through. Since they know the Suns will not embarass them by announcing it is all crock, they can continue to pretend they are giving news.
