Now that sounds more like a Morey deal.

If it goes through, I'd want to see Smoothie do a video of this trade.

The all-time largest trade in NBA history was on:

THIRTEEN PLAYERS: August 2, 2005: MIAMI HEAT acquires F Antoine Walker from the BOSTON CELTICS and G Jason Williams, F James Posey and G Andre Emmett from the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES and the draft rights to C Roberto Duenas from the NEW ORLEANS HORNETS in a five-team trade that sent G-F Eddie Jones to Memphis, F Rasual Butler to New Orleans, a 2006 second-round draft pick, a conditional second-round draft pick, F Qyntel Woods and the draft rights to Albert Miralles to Boston; The UTAH JAZZ acquired C Greg Ostertag from Memphis; Boston acquired C Curtis Borchardt from Utah and G Raul Lopez from Memphis; New Orleans acquired G Kirk Snyder from Utah.

As long as we end up with the better overall deal + Martin, I'll be happy.

So what if Evans is also represented by Tellem? An agent's job is to do what's best by his client, not to screw one client over to punish a team for not complying with his demands regarding a different client.

I thought T-Mac wanted to play in NY? Why would his agent set off fireworks in celebration to the fact that he won't get traded to NY?

15 players? Dont make sence maybe and all teams pull out, than deadline passes and no deal is done. Its like some built in strategy. Why does Jeffries have to automatically be attached to any McGrady trade period is a mystery 'if' this is the case.

UPDATE: The Knicks and Kings are going down to the wire in their attempts to expand the Tracy McGrady deal into a three-team affair, the goal of which from New York's perspective would be shedding Jared Jeffries' $6.9 million contract for 2010-11. The Kings, sources say, aren't driving any easier a bargain than Houston did as a price for taking on Jeffries' deal plus a trade kicker that is attached to it. The Knicks' first-round picks in 2011 and '12 -- protection of which was the sticking point in a straight-on deal with Houston -- remain in play in New York's discussions with the Kings.

Powerful forces were trying to push McGrady to New York behind the scenes, including McGrady's agent, Arn Tellem. But with two hours to go before the deadline, the Knicks were getting squeezed by rival execs at every turn in their efforts to clear cap space for a major free-agent splash in 2010 -- evidence that small market teams recognize the threat a New York team flush with cap space represents.

You know all I can say about this whole mess is Tracy and his "People" are a bunch of Punk A$$E$! A 15 player trade revolving around a Broken EX All-Star. Un-freakin-believable!

Tellem is one of the NBA's most influential agents and represents Tyreke Evans.

Evans is on a rookie scale contract. He won't be a free agent for half a decade. He can't really be used for leverage by some pushy agent.

agents have egos as well of being able to get what they want.

arn has his rep on the line he is the league's most powerful agent (represents a lot of ppl) and imagine if his client says I WANT to play in NY and he doesnt make it happen? his rep takes a hit and future business and current players will take note of it.

he may force sac to do a sign and trade with evans the guy is a rookie and cna get a lot of money still and other teams will be after evans. this wouldnt be the first time an agent gets his client to sign somewhere he didnt really want to (elton brand?)

What does he mean by "fireworks"? Is that a threat? This is some mafia type **** going on in the NBA.

We'll see, but something tells me the deal is being held hostage untill the deadline passes, but it's all their fault and Les is the one paying for it maybe and that wont be pretty.
