NBA Trade Buzz
The Spurs have acquired forward Kurt Thomas by sending Brent Barry and Francisco Elison to the Seattle Supersonics. Somehow, they are apparently still in the running for Ron Artest. How? I don’t know. It’s what I hear.
The Denver Nuggets have become the favorites for the Artest sweepstakes.
The Miami Heat, New Jersey Nets, and New York Knicks are still in talks that would supposedly send Zach Randolph to the Heat, Jason Williams and Ricky Davis to the Nets, and Vince Carter to the Knicks. Pat Riley denies it, but take that for what its worth.
Lots of talk about Sam Cassell to the Rockets or the Caveliers. The Cavs would include Daniel Gibson and someone else or a combination of picks. Last time the Cavs made a deal in haste, just to please the disgruntled King James, they signed Larry Hughes. I’d think long and hard if I were Danny Ferry.
