    Which player is most likely to be in a surprise trade? Darius Miles might not be a surprise. Zo might not be a surprise. Finley would be. Spree might not be a surprise. The Glove might not be a surprise. AI would be. Garnett would be.

    Finley to New Orleans?
    AI to Chicago?
    The Kid to Philly?

    We'll see.

    Kevin Garnett.

    I don't think Zo will be part of a trade. Don't think Finley will get traded either....for some reason I have a feeling that the Hawks may deal someone. Perhaps Theo or Reef.

    As both teams are in desperate playoffs race, what about Houston Rockets trading Yao Ming and Steve Francis plus cap room filers for LA Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal?

    :D

    That would be a surprise. Posey for KT came out of left field. In the next two weeks certainly someone else will surprise us all by moving on -- Arenas to Denver? I could see it. What about Hornets to replace the Baron? Richardson to Minnesota? I could see it.

    I just can't see what blindside trade is coming. But there is at least one.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we traded Mobely for Payton or Wally.
    I dunno with the salary issues though

    mobley for wally, no way i do not want that, and it wil not happen,
    mobley for payton, do you think seatle is that stupid.

    arenas to denver, i do nto think so, denver only takes players who are verry bad, and have no future, and they have to trade a better player than arenas, and they do not have one.

    I read an article that both Arenas and Jason Richardson are not happy with the Warriors, and that both may want to be traded. I doubt the Warriors management would be dumb enough to do that though.

    A couple of other guys that I think will be traded (and that will suprise everyone) is Elton Brand (free agent at the end of the year) and Illgauskus. Stearling already has two young PF's that are waiting in the wings to take over for Brand so he's not going to want to pay Brand the money when he can just play the young guys.

    Even though Big Z is a top 5 center in the NBA when he's healthy he has a HUGE contract and has been injury prone over the last couple of years. It will be interesting to see where Big Z ends up. He's a huge risk however if he's able to stay healthy (hasn't been sreiously injured since middle of last year) he's one of the best young Big men in the NBA.

    I don't believe that Brand will be traded by the LAC, but Miller is a different story. I look for the LAC to trade Dre. He has not been anywhere near the type or quality of player they expected. DEN might go after Arenas in FA, but since GSW can match up to about 45M, I think he stays there. WAS needs help getting into the playoffs and may trade Brown for help getting into them, if someone offers current help for future potential....question is WHO.

    I have a feeling Memphis is going to dump one of their young forwards before the deadline, and that Donald Sterling is going to force a trade to cut his payroll, and that Vin Baker's contract will be bought out by the end of the year.

    If any surprise trade happens, Payton will be involved, IMO.

    Toronto Star is reporting that the Raptors are and have been trying to acquire Sheed.

    I think that would be a shocking trade considering the Raptors "No bad guys" moto

    Cuttino Mobley with cap filler to Phoenix for Tom Gugliotta. Googs career seems to be pretty much over, but a lot of Rocket fans hate Cuttino. I think I would chew thru a live extension cord if it happened though. Googs is nothing.....
