Since the trade deadline is approving fast, let's start with possible REALISTIC trades rumors/predictions? Also throw a BOLD trade prediction that could happen but it's seem  slim to none.

I'll get started:

Jazz gets Andre Miller + Wilson Chandler + Nuggets 2013 1st Round Pick
Denver gets Paul Millisap + Earl Watson

Bold Prediction:

Jazz gets Goran Dragic + DeSagana Diop + Suns 2013 1st Round Pick
Suns gets Rudy Gay
Bobcat gets Al Jefferson
Grizzles gets Jared Dudley + Wesley Johnson + Gerald Henderson + Reggie Williams + Bobcats 2013 1st Round Pick

[Alfalfabeans]

Calderon for Millsap (Fills a need of each team)
Ridnour + Derrick Williams for Millsap ( I could see the Wolves making a run at one of the Utah bigs since both Pek and Love have injury issues this season).

[Ax05]

Hawks get- Afflalo nelson and baby davis

Orl- Harris Smoove Mike Scott

[Ax05]

Heat- Get Jason Maxiell

pistons get lewis

[blangtang]

Thunder get Dwight for Thabo and Perkins

[Bismack'd-youR-MOM]

that was a good idea.. i didnt even think of the wolves going after one of the Utah bigs but it makes perfect sense... Al Jef or Milsap to compliment Kevin Love/Rubio

I was looking more along the lines of Calderon and Barg  for either Al Jeff or Millsap

That would be awesome...Lakers could really use a nasty enforcer and a lock down perimeter defender LOL.

[Pau Gasol's Neckbeard]

Pretty sure the last thing Denver needs right now is a forward that requires 30mpg. Milsap seems likes bad fit there.

[Alfalfabeans]

Yeah Minny has a glut of guards and their front line has been decimated by injury...they're even using megaton to start at center. Minny is a prime destination for a Utah big...

Lol that trade would be a Win-Win in my opinion... Lakers would get tougher and a nice perimeter defender. Only thing is the Lakers are too stuck up to do that trade.

[Bismack'd-youR-MOM]

Stoudemire/ Copeland/ Brewer or Shumpert and $$ for Millsap

Do I hear an echo in the room? I was just kidding in my post, but are you trying to be serious?

Oh yeah i'm serious lols. I don't think Dwight is coming back as a Laker after this year. If i were the Lakers, I'd trade Howard for Thabo + Perk + Lamb + PJ3 + The 1st rounder draft pick of the Raptors for 2013.

Lol im going to catch flack for this but that would actually improve the lakers and make the thunder worse. Durant and Westbrook work well with bigs that don't need touches.
The lakers aren't even using Dwight and definitely need wing defenders. It would free up pau too.
But the lakers could get a lot more for Dwight. I think they should trade him though if they keep sucking/miss the playoffs Bc im pretty sure hell leave if they do.

The lakers are proving you can't just force a bunch of really good players together. Dwight's a great player but Okc would be an awful situation for him. Dwight needs to go to Houston. He would thrive there with harden, parsons and that offense.

But what can Houston give up for him? I doubt they would take a combo package of scrubs from the Rockets.

Yeah you're right in a trade parsons/asik would probably have to be included.

[BareaFan]

I have a feeling Varejao will be traded to a championship contender.

Because Houston has such a low payroll...they would find it really difficult to make the salaries match to get Howard. Combined, Asik plus Parsons barely makes 8 mil this year while Howard is on nearly 20 mil...Thats over 40% of Houstons payroll..

How about Demarcus Cousins + IT2 for Ibaka+ package

Thunder don't have a strong second PG, what with Maynor not back from ACL and Reggie Jackson still learning the ropes.

We learned last year that the thunder can't win a championship with ONLY jumpshooters.  They need a down low scorer.  And I don't know that Ibaka is that guy YET.  Ibaka's getting there, but he's not there yet.

Like tonight, they didn't have any low post game, KD and Westbrook just kept jacking up shots.  And lost (however the roto blurb for westbrook said they won, lol!)
