sooo...more rumors now to get caught up on lol. These are coming from RealGM.com.
76ers are shopping Elton Brand.
A league source confirmed to the Philadelphia Inquirer that the 76ers have shopped forward Elton Brand.
However, it is unlikely that the Sixers will be able to trade Brand because of the sizable contract he signed last summer and his recent injury history.
Brand has four years and $65 million left on his deal.
Philadelphia general manager Ed Stefanski is also looking at a possible move involving the 17th overall pick.
"We're exploring moving up and moving back," Stefanski said, adding that "unless the demands get less, we won't be doing that."
Wizards are looking to deal their 32nd pick.
After completing a deal to send the fifth pick to Minnesota on Wednesday, Washington appears open to dealing the 32nd selection.
According to a source, the Wizards would like to package the 32nd pick with the expiring contract of guard Mike James in order to acquire a veteran big man.
Even if they are unable to swing that type of deal, Washington might still consider trading the high second round pick for future considerations.
Currently, the Wizards have a rather guard-heavy roster.
"We feel like, yes, we are a little heavy at the guard position, but a lot of rosters are," Grunfeld said. "We'll see what opportunities present themselves to us and make a decision based on those options."
The Rockets are trying to trade T-Mac.
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey said that other teams have been "very aggressive" in their pursuit of Tracy McGrady.
McGrady is entering the final season of his contract, and Morey said that Houston will consider offers.
"We're getting a lot of interest on Tracy, and I do have to listen," Morey said. "It's my job to make this team as ready to win the title as possible. I think the reason we are going to have a pretty high bar on moving him is because he still provides exactly what coach (Rick Adelman) and I thought we were missing, which was a guy who can get a high-quality shot at the end of the game.
"That said, we want to position ourselves for the playoffs, it looks like it's going to be hard for Tracy to be here for a good chunk of the year, so if we can get a talented player who helps us all season, I think we have to look at it."
Morey appears focused on acquiring a draft pick, which the team currently doesn't possess.
"We'd like to acquire one," Morey said. "It looks like we might have some options, but it's very unclear at this point. Everyone is negotiating. Every negotiation comes down to the last day, the last minute.
"We do like some players high in the draft where we would think about giving up some player assets. I wouldn't forecast that as very likely. Buying a pick looks like it may have a pretty decent chance, somewhere around 50/50, maybe a little less. We're just going to be opportunistic. That's where you have to be with the draft.
"I think there are more sellers than buyers."
Kings are favoring Evans over Rubio now.
The Kings are reportedly leaning towards Memphis guard Tyreke Evans with the fourth overall pick.
According to the Sacramento Bee, Evans, Jonny Flynn, Stephen Curry and Ricky Rubio are all high the team's list.
Rubio worked out for the Kings on Monday, but new coach Paul Westphal said that they aren't set on the Spanish point guard.
"We wanted to get a feel for just interacting with him, watching him up close," Westphal said. "(But) is there anything that's going to tip the scale as to whether we draft Ricky Rubio or not from that workout? Absolutely not.
"It was nice for us to be able to spend some time with him, and it was impossible to do anything that would either help or hurt himself, really, in one hour of shooting around in the gym."
Same news reported again about the Wolves wanting to go up even higher in the Draft.
With the fifth and sixth picks officially in their possession, the Timberwolves are trying to move up further in Thursday night's NBA Draft.
The Grizzlies have refused a number of proposals from Minnesota because the Timberwolves aren't willing to part with both of their top-ten picks, or add Kevin Love into a scenario that includes just the sixth selection.
Minnesota reportedly offered Memphis either the fifth or sixth pick and forward Craig Smith, but the Grizzlies rejected that proposal as well.
Darko Milicic for Quentin Richardson is almost done.
A deal that would send Quentin Richardson to Memphis for Darko Milicic is close to being finalized.
"We're just having conversations," said one Knicks source. "Nothing is done yet."
Donnie Walsh is also continuing conversations with David Kahn of the Wolves about purchasing one of their four first round picks.
If Wolves don't trade pics #5 or #6, who will they give the higher salary pick to?
With the Minnesota Timberwolves owning both the 5th and 6th overall picks, they have a very important decision to make-- which player do they give the higher salary slot to?
The difference last year between the four-year rookie scale contract of the 5th overall and 6th overall picks was approximately $1.35 million.
Kevin Love and Danilo Gallinari were selected 5th and 6th in the 2008 Draft.

Lakers try sending Farmar to Rockets, or buy Rockets' pick
The Lakers contacted the Rockets about dealing for Jordan Farmar or purchasing their first-round pick.
Houston turned Los Angeles down, according to a pair of NBA sources.
The Lakers would be expected to get anywhere from $500,000 to $1 million for the 29th overall pick.
"Absolutely," general manager Mitch Kupchak said when asked if the club would considering dealing the selection. "Sure."
