NBA Trade Central: The Full Breakdown


Ok, it's a lot of shit going on in the league right now, being as though today at 3pm was the trade deadline.

In my attempt to cover all trade info, I'll probably lose my paying job...but nonetheless...HERE WE GO...

The first blockbuster was
The Melo deal that we reported on twice...and had been following since October.

Then, Chicago traded forward James Johnson to Toronto for the 2011 first-round draft pick Toronto acquired from Miami.


After that, or early yesterday afternoon, Sacramento traded Forward Carl Landry to New Orleans for Guard Marcus Thornton and cash considerations.



Then came the shocker. Deron Williams.
We already told you about that though...


Today, some serious exchanges unfolded...


The Los Angeles Clippers traded point guard Baron Davis and their 2011 first-round draft pick to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Mo Williams and Jamario Moon.





Just before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, the Boston Celtics agreed to ship center Kendrick Perkins and guard Nate Rob to the OKC Thunder for forward Jeff Green and big man Nenad Kristic, two league sources said.


The deal also gives the Thunder something for Green, who becomes a restricted free agent this summer. Green had rejected a contract extension offer from the Thunder earlier this year.


For the Celtics, they take a big risk that their lone big men -- Shaq, KG and Krstic -- can lead them. But with O'Neal out with an Achilles injury, this is an interesting play for a Celtics team trying to win a championship.


Green is a young talent who can play both the 3 and the 4 positions and could be part of a longer rebuilding strategy. Krstic is an offensive talent down low, but isn't known as a rebounder or a tough defender.


Check back for updates, as more details are revealed.
