I'm thinking that new teams and players are coming into the fold. Which is going to make negotiating this thing dificult and timely. However nothing is going on other than signings which is making me think that the teams who want to move players are all working together.
However if this is not the quiet before the storm, than I will be very dissapointed.

Just heard on ESPN radio that trades are banned for this week.
WTF are you kidding? How come? The NBA is killing me lol...

Not that I would ever defend Napier but all of the trades/signing, etc... are ones that have been "rumored" to be completed during the last couple of weeks. The league has lawyers that review every one to make sure they are legit, etc... and this does take time. We still have the Chandler trade to NO for Brown and Smith to get through either tonight or tomorrow so there still may be alot of things hanging out there waiting to be approved. Go have dinner, drinks or whatever and if something happens it will happen.

ARTEST TRADED FOR MILES
A Swap of Malcontents
By Ray Blicker
SACRAMENTO -- In a stunning swap of chronic problem players, the Sacramento Kings have traded the ferocious defensive game of Ron Artest for the limitless potential of lanky Portland forward Darius Miles.
Artest, who last year seemed to have revived his career during a half season stint with the Kings, now moves on to a franchise that has had more than its share of difficult personalities over the years.
Miles, who averaged a career high 14.0 points per game last season, will now be playing for his 4th team since being the 3rd overall pick of the 2000 draft.
Kings general manager Geoff Petrie said simply "it was time", while lauding Miles' outstanding athleticism and improving jumpshot.
"If you are still reading this goof of a post you are even more desperate for NBA news than I am." said Petrie.

Great point. Not to defend Grant, but his biggest mistake might not be blowing it about the trade rumoe (this is a smoke = fire case at this point), his biggest error might be proclaiming that a 6 team trade could be resolved an announced within 24 hours. If the Kings resign Bonzi and stand pat, then blame Grant for being a rumor monger; however, let's chill for 48 hours and see what does go down.

They haven't used any of them in their articles, so I guess they weren't impressed. Maybe they printed some up, took them home and put them on the refrigerator.

For some reason word has gotten around on other boards that Bonzi's agent told Napear that a six team deal was going down with Bonzi included and Napear simpy relayed it. Which is untrue.

I believe that when Grant announced that a 6 team deal would go down "tomorrow" he probably had a pretty good basis for that comment. However, as we all know, deals come and go by the minute and rather than predict that a deal will go down he probably should have just waited til it did go down because deals change all the time this time of year in the NBA.

It's not completely untrue. Grant said he had just gotten off the phoen with *someone* and that *someone* had been told by his agent he was going to be involved in a trade that could involve as many as 6 teams. The trade was rumored to involve Sac and Indiana as one of the teams. The assumption was that it was Bonzi he had spoken to.
So, the only part that isn't true is that we don't know for SURE that it was Bonzi. But, it was a definite possibility.

It could be a six team trade. But I also wouldn't be suprised if it broke apart b/c not every team agrees, resulting in several smaller trades. I think a lot of teams are trying to get in this trade, if not they're waiting for the trade to go down before more moves are made.

Is that you Grant?
OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH BOY!!
No, but if there is one host who will never discuss "rumored trades" on his show it's him so I would tend to give him the benefit of the doubt.
