T-Mac endar hjá New York Knicks
19.2.2010
HOUSTON -- The New York Knicks have acquired Tracy McGrady and his massive expiring contract in a three-team swap with the Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings.
The Knicks will also get Sergio Rodriguez from the Kings, though the lure of the deal was McGrady and his expiring $23 million contract.
The Rockets will get guard Kevin Martin and forward Hilton Armstrong from Sacramento and forward Jordan Hill, Jared Jeffries and draft considerations in 2011 and 2012 from New York. They're also relieved to have finally found a taker for McGrady, the troublesome seven-time All-Star they've been trying to trade for almost two months.
The Kings will also get New York guard Larry Hughes and Houston forwards Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey.

Ilgauskas gæti endað aftur hjá Cleveland
18.2.2010
It is generally assumed that the Wizards will buy out the last year of Ilgauskas' contract, which will pay him $11.5 million. That would leave Ilgauskas free to sign with any team, including the Cavaliers, although he would have to wait 30 days to re-sign with Cleveland. He would not have to wait to sign with another team, but he must be bought out before March 1 in order to be eligible for the playoffs.
"I'm going to try to get them to do a buy-out, but I've already heard from a few teams - good teams - that are really interested in wanting to talk about Z going to play for them," Rudoy said. "That doesn't surprise me. He's still a very good player. He's a very interesting player who can still be a very good center in this league.
"I don't know exactly what's going to happen. I think his heart is in Cleveland, that's for sure.

The Celtics guard added that he could have remained at the team hotel, but reported for practice in the event that the trade didnt go through.
I wouldnt say its a done deal, but theres a pretty good chance its going through, said Houses agent, Mark Bartlestein.
In apparent support of Houses theory, the New York media entered the locker room in Madison Square Garden tonight to find Robinsons locker cleared out,

It's official...
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- In need of help in the middle, the Portland Trail Blazers acquired Marcus Camby to fill the void left by injuries to Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla.
Portland sent guard Steve Blake and forward Travis Outlaw to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday for Camby, a 14-year veteran who is second in the league in rebounding and sixth in blocked shots.
"I think it's a great situation for myself. It's a first-class organization that really takes care of their own," Camby said. "I hope I can bring my knowledge of the game, and blend in these last 27 games. I'm really excited to be here."

The Cavaliers and Suns are close to a deal that would send Amare Stoudemire to Cleveland in exchange for Zydrunas Ilgauskas and J.J. Hickson, ESPN.com reports.
The Cavaliers believe LeBron James would re-sign with the team this summer if theyre able to acquire Stoudemire. The Cavs intention would be to sign Stoudemire, who has one year and $17 million remaining on his contract, to a long-term deal at seasons end.
Cleveland is still in trade talks with other teams including the Wizards for Antawn Jamison, the Pacers for Troy Murphy and the Warriors for Corey Maggette -- but Stoudemire is the organizations first choice, according to the report.
The Suns would likely wave Ilgauskas and be relieved of his $12 million contract, the web site reports. That would allow Cleveland to re-sign him after 30 days.
