NBA Trades Roundup

Well, the Cavs didn't get Redd, and the Bucks did clear some cap space (are they pulling a Boozer with Redd??), but we did get a shooter. And following in the tradition of John Smiley, gets hurt his first game. Amazing.

Obviously, like the rest of you, I think the Sixers made out the best by snagging Webber for basically nothing. The Knicks continue to amaze me, and other basketball fans, you can't say it better than Simmons:

When Isiah called the Spurs and said, "We'll give you Nazr Mohammed, you give us Malik Rose and a crap No. 1, and we don't care about the $20 million difference in salaries," do you think Gregg Popovich said, "Lemme call you right back," then pretended he was deliberating about it for 30 seconds before speed-dialing Isiah back? Was there laughter in the Spurs offices? High-fiving? Was Popovich the guy who called Isiah under the "Maybe Isiah will be dumb enough to give us a center" premise? How did this go down?

I like how the Warriors look, getting Baron Davis for a little more than nothing, but they have no cap space either, and I wonder how those guys will play together. From my angle it looks like Warriors GM was missing the good ol days and decided to bring back the days of Run TMC (Tim Hardaway. Mitch Richmond, and Chris Mullin) with Baron Davis, Jason Richardson and Troy Murphy. Am I reaching here?
