    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>There is no evidence so far that the Bulls are close to trading the No. 2 pick for a veteran, but this week is traditionally when trade offers start to arrive. One rumor of the Lakers sending Lamar Odom for the Bulls' two first-round picks isn't likely to happen. Talk that Indiana GM Larry Bird is willing to swap Jermaine O'Neal for a pick that would land Adam Morrison sounds plausible. -- Daily HeraldWord around the league was that 76ers chairman Ed Snider recently had held a meeting in which he ordered rebuilding, including a trade of Allen Iverson. One problem. The vacationing Snider, reached yesterday by telephone by the Daily News, said he never held any such meeting. -- Philadelphia Daily NewsPlugged-in league executives report the Memphis Grizzlies are in trade talks with the Utah Jazz about ex-Cav Carlos Boozer, who has endured two injury-riddled years in Salt Lake City that have led to trade rumors in the past. -- Akron Beacon-JournalThe Nets aren't shopping Richard Jefferson. And along with that, GM Ed Stefanski reiterated that it would take some colossal, unforeseen circumstance for his team to break up the core. -- Newark Star-Ledger</div>Source

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Boozer in Boston for 7th pick + Tony Allen.

    The 76ers 'talk' has already been shutdown as pure bullsh**...I don't follow or believe any of these rumors, the more people talk about them the more they come out.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TAllen42 @ Jun 19 2006, 06:13 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I wouldn't be surprised to see Boozer in Boston for 7th pick + Tony Allen.</div> Yeah...like the Celtics want to add Boozer's salary and his injury problems.

    I hope that the Sixers trading AI rumer is just a rumer. But I would not be surprised at all if they do trade him.I don't see why the Pacers would want to trade a guy like Jermaine O'Neal, If they are shoping him why don't the Sixers offer a package. If it would not involve the 2 AI's I would do w/e. But it would probably have to include trading Iguodala if the Sixers wanna get Jermaine O'Neal.I don't see why the Net's would wanna trade Jefferson to break up that nice 4 with.......Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, and Kristic they got a very good team.

Also the reason RJ might leave is because he supposively isnt getting along w/ kidd. dont nkow if thats true though.

I mean come on Jefferson is younger why would you trade him instead of Kidd who is older.

Boozer should've stayed in Cleveland, he is probably regretting signing with Utah right now.

    Yes I read it there might not have been a meeting about that, but there is still a good chance AI might get traded. And just because he said there was no meeting does not mean he is not just saying that, and there was a meeting.

Carlos Boozer doesn't care where he is, he signed for a lot more money in Utah and thats all he cares about.

    Also from RealGM I read there are 6 teams looking to trade up for the #1 or #2 pick (then they predicted it would be to target Morrison). The teams are Minnesota, BOSTON, Houston, Phoenix, Portland, and Charlotte.My take on that, if the Celtics trade up for the #1-2 pick then I want Aldridge, unless we unload a wing in the deal. Either way, I still might want Aldridge. He's the closest to a "sure thing" in the top 5, plus we are desprit for a good big man, epsecially like Aldridge who can help out now plus has potential.

    You posted those two paragraphs three times :lol:None of those rumors are really probable, but I think Toronto could trade the top pick. I expect the Trail Blazers to get that pick so that Morrison can go to Portland.

    the first rumor where it says that larry bird would switch jermaine o' neal for adam morrison is ridiculous.. he doesn't even know how well he would do in the NBA. and o' neal has already showed himself to be a super star. oh well. it said it was "plausible" so.
