The Wiz get Okafor and Ariza for nothing.....New Orleans cleans the slate to build around Davis and Gordon. I assume this means the Wiz are hoping Charlotte passes on Beal because they have nothing on the perimeter and an embarrassment of riches inside. Vesely, Seraphin, Booker, and Blatche backing up Nene and Okafor.

Also sets up the unlikely but possible scenario of the Hornets going after a second max player to team up with Gordon and Davis either this year or the next.

KG coming back to Boston:

The 36-year-old considered retirement, but ultimately decided to return for an 18th NBA season — and more.

According to an NBA source and a source close to Garnett, the sides are working out the details of a deal that will be for at least two years and could possibly include a third.

“The decision came down to whether KG wanted to keep playing,” said one source. “And once he decided that he did, it was going to be Boston. He wasn't going to leave Doc (River) and those guys and play anywhere else.”

KG back to boston might mean ray allen stays. Heat trading out of the 1st round looked like they were saving money and were not sold on the players left on the board though Moultrie is athletic and grabbed a high amount of rebounds and has good size 6-10.. This could end up being a blown opportunity if Moultrie outperforms Pittman. The 45 pick picked up from philly in exchange for Moultrie we picked up a 7 footer Hamilton some have quoted one of the least athletic player sin the draft though has good mid range game. I kind hoping the heat get kenyon martin or marcus camby all this small ball talk is asking for injuries.

UPDATE 3:25 pm: And it is finalized, according to Marc Spears of Yahoo. Jason Terry will be a Celtic for three years, $15 million total — the mid-level exception.

That's likely it for Ray Allen in Boston.

I think its between the Clippers and Heat at the moment. Can't fault him if he chooses LA.....he'd get more playing time there.

The Brooklyn Nets have come to terms with the Atlanta Hawks on a multiplayer trade that will land them All-Star guard Joe Johnson in exchange for several players with expiring contracts, according to sources briefed on the discussions.

And per Chris Broussards twitter...

Sources: The Nets & Magic are discussing a trade that would send Dwight Howard to Brooklyn for Brook Lopez, Kris Humphies, Marshon Brooks..and the Nets' first-round picks in 2012, 2014, 2016 & 2018..

If it goes through...Orlando would be ripping the Nets a new one. The dude just had back surgery. WOW!

I think its a pretty lousy deal for the Magic......they can get better from the Rockets even if its just for a one year rental.

If they can somehow get the Magic to go for it, they're a legit threat to the Heat. Wallace and Johnson may be on the downward slope of their careers, but they're still both pretty good players, and in Howard you've got the one player in this league that the Heat have no answer for.

i think if ray allen wants to play more and isn't chasing the ring as much the clippers are the way to go...as for this potential trade i haven't seen much of the nets obviously but i'm curious as to why you think that's a lousy deal and what exactly are the rockets offering up if you know
