Heard these all on ESPN this morning:

Boston Celtics offered Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo to Detroit for Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton and Rodney Stuckey - Detroit rejected

Celtics offered Rajon Rondo to Sacramento for the 4th overall draft pick

Wizards have talked to multiple teams (including Boston) about trading the #5 overall pick

Clippers' Chris Kaman to Detroit for Tayshaun Prince

Clippers' Chris Kaman to Minnesota for Mike Miller

Clippers' Marcus Camby to Thunder

Phoenix Suns' Shaquille O'Neal to Cavaliers, Bulls, Hornets or Mavericks

Clippers' Marcus Camby to Thunder
what would the Thunder give up??

If this one happens Thunder become a playoff contender.

Durant, Green, Westbrook, Camby, and whoever they decide to draft. Rubio would be scary here

Update: Dalembert to Charlotte rumor

Samuel Dalembert | 76ers
Earlier today, word from Philly had the Sixers in talks with the Charlotte Bobcats, sending C Samuel Dalembert and the 17th overall pick in the Thursday's draft for F Vladimir Radmanovic, C Nazr Mohammad, and the 12th pick in the draft.

But when we checked in with ESPN.com's Marc Stein, he said the source he'd checked in with said the rumor doesn't have any legs. At least not yet.

A hang-up might be that the deal doesn't do much for the Philly cap situation, and a jump to No. 12 from No. 17 is a mystery for value in a draft that still is loaded with questions even in the No. 2 to No. 7 range.

We'll let you know when we hear more.

Didn't hear who the Thunder would give up, but they said it would be "virtually nothing, basically what the Clippers got him for"...unsure that they would be a playoff team with the addition of Camby, but they would definitely improve, and have an excellent defensive mind to mentor all the young players on the roster.

Clippers' Chris Kaman to Detroit for Tayshaun Prince

Really? Kaman is garbage though?

[blitzburgh26]

I think they could contend. The Clippers made it with Camby Brand and Cassell. With Durant and the young talent they could be this year's Portland.

Knicks could get 5th overall and keep their 8th

Knicks, Wizards talking deal for No.5 pick in NBA Draft



The New York Knicks are in need of a shot-blocking center. So it is little surprise the Knicks have interest in 7-foot-3 Hasheem Thabeet.
According to Newsday, the best chance the Knicks have to select Thabeet is with the No.5 selection currently owned by the Washington Wizards. Newsday reported the potential blockbuster trade that would land the Knicks the fifth overall pick and allow the Knicks to keep their spot at No. 8. The deal likely would have to include one of the team's most valuable assets, swingman Wilson Chandler(notes), which would be a difficult decision.
This scenario also might include Larry Hughes(notes) going back to Washington in exchange for guard Mike James(notes), a Long Island product, and a big man such as Etan Thomas(notes) or Brendan Haywood(notes). All of the players involved have expiring contracts, according to Newsday.
Newsday reported the move by the Knicks, however, would not be to target Thabeet or even Spanish guard Ricky Rubio. It appears more likely that Davidson's Stephen Curry or Memphis' Tyreke Evans are the more coveted prospects. The Knicks then could use their own pick at No. 8 to land Arizona power forward Jordan Hill, if he still is on the board. If not, there is Duke's Gerald Henderson or USC's DeMar DeRozan to consider as potential replacements for Chandler.

Wow, that would be huge for the Knicks...they need that to make up for all the bad draft years they've had!

[blitzburgh26]

I'm guessing they would go Thabeet with #5, what would they do with #8. Curry???
