Grant hints of blockbuster trade - title edited

#31
It was interesting to have Mitch Richmond on the air too..maybe GSW are somehow involved, but they never discussed trade stuff.

I bet it's a big day tomorrow...:eek:
And it would be about time, im sick of looking and reading for anything that might happen and any spec of info i can find. I need a blockbuster trade(s) to keep me happy and not bored more so than i am now. I hate TDOS.

It's interesting that the deal is supposed to be going down tomorrow, the first day of the free agent signing period. To me, that says at least one of the players is moving in a sign and trade. If the Kings/Bonzi Wells are involved, that'd mean the Kings will be taking back something different than the Foster/Sarunas duo that's been rumored.

Wait, so there's a 6 team trade going down (ripe for leaks) and the ONLY source less than 24 hours before the trade to pick up on it is Grant Napear. Hmmmm..... makes you think.

However, if the trade does become some combo of rumored trades - which could include teams like Sac, Indiana, Philly, Boston, GS, and Atl - would not be suprised to see Sac lose Bonzi and KT and receive Pietrus back as part of the package.

Pietrus has been coached by Muss. Has been rumored as part of the trade for Harrington, along with Murph and would be a nice player to replace Bonzi should we lose him. He's young and is in a position where he could be ready to take the next step this season.

That would be a much better deal than Foster and Sarunus. Pietrus has vastly improved his game.

hell, kenny thomas won't even move to the bench.

i agree though, i hope something happens because tdos is boring, and it's still july.

simply maddening

Grant is reliable because he never and I mean never likes to discuss rumored trades on his show unless he has some viable facts to back it up that it will go down.

Kings113, did you hear this yourself or read about it on another message board? Because this rumor is like a bad game of "telephone," it's taking on a life of its own.

I read someone else heard it on a couple other boards, on 1140.
Everyone should specify whether things like this are heard first-hand or are being passed on as a rumor. If you didn't hear it yourself, how can you make a difinitive statement about it's varacity?

The progression of this rumor seems to be:

1) Grant said something about a trade involving as many as 16 players or six teams, no one is quite sure which one.
2) Someone supposedly hears a player told the play by play guy who told Grant that he was being traded
3) Someone says the Kings are definitely involved in the six team deal and Grant definitely said the Bonzi for Indiana thing is going down

Next thing you know KG will be absolutely definitely coming to Sacramento in a trade involving all 30 NBA teams.
