Anything Goes

This year has seen some expected and unexpected trades happen in the NBA. Carmelo Anthony ended up with New York, no surprise there. I guess the most surprising of them all was Kendrick Perkins trade to Oklahoma considering the thin frontcourt that the Boston Celtics already have. Shaq is out. Jermaine is out. Take Perkins out of the picture and you get only Garnett and Davis as the big bodied men remaining.

Oh well, not a problem. And does it matter? Hmmm. I do not like Perkins. Too big headed. He was lucky he was one of the few unwanted players not traded by Boston for the Big Three trades which resulted in them winning a championship that year.

Baron Davis to Cleveland was surprising too and I still am waiting for my favorite team, the Lakers to make a move even if Mitch Kuptchak says they do not plan to do any trades. You never can see at the last minute what will happen and what options may arise. Anything can happen before the trade deadline ends.

Aside from the current trades like Deron Williams to the Nets, expect more surprising moves by teams looking to solidify their lineups in time for the playoffs.
