As the season continues to play on in the NBA, the trade deadline is here for the 2009 NBA season. The pressure is on for teams to either get something in return for a potential free agent, play with what you have and just make a run for the playoffs.
Most of the trades are coming from teams that are at the bottom of the playoff picture, or teams that are trying to rebuild for the future. Another reason General Managers are moving players with big contracts in hopes of clearing up salary cap for the players that are heading into free agency.
One big trade that bothered me is the Chicago Bulls recieving John Salmons and Brad Miller and the Sacramento Kings recieve Andres Nocioni, Drew Gooden, and two scrubs not even worth mentioning. Now ESPN analysis Avery Johnson thinks it's a good trade for the Bulls. He called it "a win win situation," because they received more than what they gave away.
I think even with the scrubs the Bulls gave away too much. I mean Brad Miller is a solid player if he doesn't hang out at the three point line all the time and John Salmons has a percentage just above being a scrub.
So this is the last move that John Paxson is going to make before resigning. He should have done that when he used his lottery pick to pick up Joakim Noah. That's like a Greg Oden, "a waste of a pick.
