J.J. Redick Is The Biggest Name Dealt During The Deadline

Here are all the deals that happened yesterday:

Bucks receive	Magic receive
J.J. Redick; Gustavo Ayon; Ish Smith	Tobias Harris; Beno Udrih; Doron Lamb
Celtics receive	Wizards receive
Jordan Crawford	Leandro Barbosa; Jason Collins
Blazers receive	Thunder receive
Eric Maynor	$2.2M trade exception; rights to Georgios Printezis
Raptors receive	Suns receive
Sebastian Telfair	Hamed Haddadi; 2nd-round pick
Mavericks receive	Hawks receive
Anthony Morrow	Dahntay Jones
Thunder receive	Knicks receive
Ronnie Brewer	2nd-round pick
Magic receive	Bobcats receive
Hakim Warrick	Josh McRoberts
Grizzlies receive	Heat receive
Dexter Pittman; 2nd-round pick	Rights to Ricky Sanchez

It's amazing that JJ Redick is the biggest name that got traded.  Redick is an all right role player but he's not a franchise make or break player, and especially because he went from one irrelevant team to another one, I could care less.

The real loser in all of this is the Atlanta who is going to lose Josh Smith this off season and got nothing for him.  It's amazing they pulled out of a 3 team swap at 2:59.

I'll get into the Celtics with the next post, but I really don't get why teams like the Spurs or Clippers go all in for J Smoove.  I bet the spurs could have given up Tiago Splitter and Kawhi Leonard and gotten Josh.  Imagine a line up of Parker, Manu Ginobelli, Stephen Jackson, Josh Smith and Tim Duncan.  That's a favorite for the Championship.

Just a real weird deadline.

Mavericks Trading For Brandon Jennings?

There were rumors going around yesterday that the Mavericks could be the front runner for Josh Smith. The Mavs have since spoke out and said that they have no interest in him. Now the hot rumor is they have their eyes set on Brandon Jennings. We don't have any word on what it would take to get him. I looked into the NBA trade machine and Jennings has an expiring contract of $3 million, so it wouldn't be hard to fit him in cap wise, and I would guess the Bucks would want picks for him. After trading for Monta Ellis I guess it makes Jennings expendable, although I really think they could find a better trade partner.

Obviously, this makes Collison future in Dallas less certain, but they can't trade him until this summer. The Mavericks are in need of an overhaul. Dirk is not getting any younger, they aren't anywhere close to competing for a championship, and they lost out on all the big free agents last summer. Currently Dallas is the 11 seed in the west and 5 1/2 games out of a playoff spot, while the Bucks are the 8th seed in the East.
