NBA Trade Deadline Has Ended




Here are the NBA deadline deals today:

Ramon Sessions was moved with Christian Eyenga to the Lakers for Luke Walton, Jason Kapono and their 2012 first-round pick

Nene, Brian Cook and a draft pick are going to the Wizards, Nick Young is going to the Clippers and JaVale McGee and Ronny Turiaf go to Denver.

Golden State traded the recently acquired Stephen Jackson to San Antonio for Richard Jefferson

Marcus Camby goes from Portland to Houston for Hasheem Thabeet and Johnny Flynn

Mehmet Okur, Shawne Williams and a 2012 first-round pick (top 3 protected) head to the Blazers for Gerald Wallace

Rockets send Jordan Hill to the Los Angeles for Derek Fisher

Sam Young was traded to Philadelphia for the rights to 2005 second-round pick Ricky Sanchez

Hawks sold a second-round pick to Golden State

And earlier in the day Leandro Barbosa was shipped from Toronto to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for a second-round pick

Analysis:

I love the Sessions trade for LA, excellent penetrating point guard, smart, great move.
The Jordan Hill move strengthens Lakers down low, big body, can block shots, very good rebounder.

The Nene deal for Wizards makes sense in that they wanted a vet to play along side John Wall. Nene has a long expensive contract but is a good locker room guy and is a nice one two piece with Wall.

Nick Young is an explosive one on one scorer, can post, and hit threes. This is a nice fit for the Clips.

Stephen Jackson is a tough vet forward who can score and run the floor. Popovich loves Jax and will fit right in the Spurs lineup. Great addition.

Camby is a great pickup for the Rockets, with them sending Hill to LA this gives them a vet big man that has been through the battles and is playoff tested. Camby is at the end of his run but will help greatly down the stretch this year.
