Such a trade works under the salary cap rules but would not, by itself, bring the Suns below the luxury tax threshold this year or next. According to ESPN, this deal has been discussed but is a long ways away from being completed and is described as unlikely.

One day later, the four players will be going back to their original teams. Thunder Executive Vice President and General Manager Sam Presti announced in a press release on Wednesday evening that the team has rescinded its trade with the Hornets for Chandler. "We were pleased to add Tyson to the Thunder roster," said Presti. "During the course of the physical examination and outside consultations some questions arose that gave us cause for concern. We felt that this course of action was the best for our organization." Rescinding trades in the NBA is a very rare occurrence. During the summer of 2005, the Nets and Blazers agreed on a trade that sent Shareef Abdur-Rahim to New Jersey, but it was rescinded following a physical examination. The Cavaliers rescinded a trade involving Mateen Cleaves in a deal with Sacramento in 2002 and they also rescinded a deal for Victor Alexander with the Raptors in 1995.

As part of the same trade Michael Ruffin was sent to the Portland Trail Blazers, while forward Ike Diogu goes to Sacramento. With this deal, Chicago's roster now stands at 12. "When we signed Andrés in 2004, he brought a toughness to our basketball team. He's been a warrior, and a professional, since the day that he arrived. He has been one of my favorites to ever wear a Bulls uniform; and personally, it was difficult for me to move him," said John Paxson, Bulls Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations. "Drew played really well for us in the short time that he was here. It's a tough part of the business when you are traded, and Drew has been traded a few times now, and that is never easy." "Brad Miller is a skilled big man, who we feel will fit into many of the things that we run offensively. He is a good shooter and passer, and has a natural feel for how to play the game. We feel that he will be a good complement to Joakim, Tyrus and Aaron on our front line," added Paxson. "John Salmons will bring us tremendous versatility in the backcourt, and at the small forward position. He has good size and length, and has shown the ability to score this year. We feel he's one of the most improved players in the league at this point of the season." Click here to read RealGM's 'Grading The Deal' for this trade.

Another player, perhaps Jerome James, would have to be sent to Chicago to make the deal work. Hughes' contract runs through the 2009-2010 season. Nate Robinson might be included in the deal and David Lee's name has been mentioned as well. Lee's inclusion would mean Tyrus Thomas or Joakim Noah, whose game Donnie Walsh likes, would be sent to New York. The Knick front office is split on whether to retain Lee as a restricted free-agent this summer. Some feel he has already hit his ceiling.

Cleveland is offering the expiring contract of Wally Szczerbiak for Jefferson, who has two years and $29.2 million left on his contract. The Bucks have also been in talks with the Portland Trail Blazers about a package that would include Jefferson for the expiring contract of Raef Lafrentz and Travis Outlaw. Via Yahoo! Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trail Blazers, Milwaukee Bucks Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Thunder reject Chandler, trade off The New Orleans Hornets decided to trade Tyson Chandler to clear some cap space and add depth to the frontcourt. They'll have to go back to the drawing board. The Oklahoma City Thunder did not medically clear the center on Wednesday and therefore rescinded the trade. Chandler would have gone to the Thunder for forwards Chris Wilcox, Joe Smith second-round pick DeVon Hardin. "We welcome Tyson back with open arms," Hornets general manager Jeff Bower said in a statement. "We went into this trade to garner more frontcourt depth to add to our team as we continue our push towards the playoffs. We expect Tyson and the rest of our big guys to step up to the challenge." No specific reason was given as to why Chandler didn't pass the physical, but he missed the Hornets' last 12 games before the All-Star break because of a sprained left ankle. "We were pleased to add Tyson to the Thunder roster," general manager Sam Presti said. "During the course of the physical examination and outside consultations some questions arose that gave us cause for concern. We felt that this course of action was the best for our organization." New Orleans players had been distraught about the trade Tuesday, questioning it as a decision brought on because of the team's desire to stay below the salary cap instead of as a way to improve the roster. Chandler is due to make about $12 million next season. All-Star forward David West called it a business decision instead of a basketball decision, and said it "leaves a big question mark in the middle" for New Orleans. Chandler had been a big part of the turnaround that landed the Hornets the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference last year, when they pushed San Antonio to Game 7 in the conference semifinals. He averaged a double-double with 11.8 points and 11.8 rebounds and had more than 100 alley-oop dunks off of lobs from All-Star point guard Chris Paul. His numbers were down a little, to 8.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this season as he missed 18 games due to injury. "I think a lot of that is because of the injuries that he's suffered this season," Hornets coach Byron Scott said after the trade. "The first couple games of the season, he was playing really well. Then he hurt his ankle. He came back, he was playing pretty good again, and then his neck was hurt. "So he's had a series of injuries this season that have really stunted his progress, unfortunately. I don't think it's so much that he's changed as a basketball player. I think it's that he's had some unfortunate circumstances." Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

Blazers Make Late Play For Knicks' Lee Feb 18, 2009 6:23 AM EST The Portland Trail Blazers are once again chasing Knick forward David Lee, but according to Marc Berman of the New York Post the only way Donnie Walsh will part ways with Lee is if the receiving team takes on Eddy Curry too.

Washington could stand pat, despite the interest in the former All-Star forwards. The Cavaliers have reportedly offered Wally Szczerbiak and his $13.8 million expiring contract in separate offers, while the Blazers have interest in Butler. "You can't always be in charge of names that come up, but let me ask you something: If you were one of the other 29 teams in the league, who would you ask for?" interim coach Ed Tapscott said. "You'd ask for Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler. So we can't be in charge of who people ask for. All we can do is say yes or no. My belief is that people are inquiring and as far as I know, the answer is no. We believe in the core of this team, we know why we are where we are. We just don't have healthy bodies."

"We have not had any discussions with regard to trading Chris Bosh," Colangelo said. The latest rumors had Bosh going to the Bulls in a three-way trade that would have sent Amare Stoudemire to the Raptors. "If I can be very clear here, there is no truth to that," Colangelo said.

There is a gray area in this case because of language regarding "the date the team knew or should have known that the injury would cause the player to miss the season." The Knicks do not expect a quick ruling, but they'd like the league to decide before the trade deadline. If the exception is granted, New York can acquire a player or players making $4.46 million or less without the outgoing salary having to match. No other teams currently have any Disabled Player Exceptions. It's ashame the Knicks appear 3 times on this thread & not in a positive fashion for them. Hopefully Walsh continues to move the Knicks in the right direction. It stinks that the NBA denied the Knicks the Disabled Players Exception for Cuttino Mobley because they needed it. Nevertheless great info heat23. SNAP YOUR NIKONS AT THIS ICON WITH MY NIKES ON!!!

Registered Member Posts: 1842 02/04/09 4:13 PM	Nearly all Kings' men available at this point ShareThis By Sam Amick samick@sacbee.com Published: Wednesday, Feb. 04, 2009 \| Page 1C When Kings basketball president Geoff Petrie recently said he was "very, very open" when it came to trade talks, it was largely because the door has already closed on this season. There is no need to hold onto veterans for a playoff push, nor is there reason to think anyone besides Kevin Martin couldn't be living in a new zip code in these next few weeks. With 15 days left until the trade deadline, there is desperation within the organization to start the resuscitating process. The tricky part is to not act out of desperation. There is added pressure as the Kings' trades thus far in this rebuilding era have yielded little in return. The Mike Bibby trade last February was largely seen as a positive, with the Kings not only absolving themselves of Bibby's $15.2 million salary for this season but making way for the breakout of Beno Udrih. But a year later, Udrih's five-year, $32 million contract signed during the summer has become another albatross on the team's salary cap, and he is among those being discussed in a flurry of trade talks. The Ron Artest trade with Houston decimated this team from a competitive standpoint. For all of Artest's misgivings, his fiery ways sometimes served as a dysfunctional leadership for a team that now lacks leaders. What's more, the Kings' defense without him has plummeted to league-low depths while the significant rebuilding piece acquired in return - rookie small forward Donté Greene - rarely plays. There is still hope for the Kings' deals to produce positives. Greene could develop into the dynamic player they believe he can be, and they will have Houston's No. 1 draft pick in June that - while lottery-protected - is on pace to fall somewhere in the 20s. They also have three trade exceptions by way of that deal worth a combined $1.8 million. Artest's exception is worth $912,112, and those of former Kings second-round picks Sean Singletary and Patrick Ewing Jr. - who were also sent to Houston - worth $442,114. In essence, these trade exceptions - part of what is also dubbed non-simultaneous trades - are assets the Kings acquired at the time of the trade and have until an Aug. 14 deadline to collect on. They offer flexibility in trades and allow teams to take back more salary than they send out in a deal. But the Kings have yet to find a deal to their liking. League sources continue to indicate they are among the most active teams in trade talks, and most expect at least one move to be made. With a front-office team of Petrie, vice president of basketball operations Wayne Cooper and assistant general manager Jason Levien doing the inquiring, it is unclear which King - if any - will be first to go. Swingman John Salmons is believed to be drawing the most interest among the players who are potentially available. Two league sources said in recent days that Oklahoma City has expressed a strong interest in the seventh-year player. The Thunder has offered the $4.8 million expiring contract of veteran forward Joe Smith in the deal, although it is not known if Oklahoma City is willing to part with draft picks or perhaps a younger player in return. Udrih may be on his way out as well, as Dallas is believed to have inquired about him as a possible backup for Jason Kidd with the pieces coming to Sacramento likely including Jerry Stackhouse (this season and next for a combined $14.3 million). Udrih may draw interest from New Orleans or Orlando as well. Both teams just saw their top-tier points guards (Chris Paul and Jameer Nelson, respectively) go down with serious injuries and could shop for a stop-gap solution. Then there's Brad Miller. While the value of the Kings center seemingly has declined with his inability to replicate the strong season he had in 2007-08, he could find himself wearing a new jersey soon. League sources said Miller remains in the mix for a possible deal with Miami involving Shawn Marion (expiring contract worth $17.1 million) and Kings forward Kenny Thomas, as the Kings are believed to be among three teams considered as trade partners by the Heat. Miller also could be sent to Chicago if the Bulls are unable to land a higher-profile big man. The list goes on from there and includes veteran forward Mikki Moore, who told The Bee recently that his old Nets bosses informed him of their desire to bring him back. The Nets also offered a deal for third-year guard Maurice Ager in exchange for third-year Kings guard Quincy Douby earlier this season. As Petrie made clear with the trade deadline drawing closer, the Kings are open for business.
