NBA Trade Deadline Deals


Lakers get:
G Ramon Sessions
F Christian Eyenga
Rights to swap Heat's 2013 first-round draft pick
Cavaliers get:
F Luke Walton
F Jason Kapono
2012 first-round pick (lottery-protected)
The Lakers get the PG they wanted and free up cap space. Win win for the Lake Show.
Rockets get:
G Derek Fisher
2012 first-round pick (acquired from Dallas in Lamar Odom trade)
Lakers get: 
F/C Jordan Hill
I wonder how Kobe feels about this one. The Lakers decide to trade longtime PG D-Fish after trading for Sessions. Fisher was the emotional leader for the Lake Show and his presence will be missed in the locker room. It will be interesting to see how Jordan Hill fits in to the Lakers rotation, people forget Hill is a former lottery pick.
Wizards get: 
F/C Nene
F Brian Cook
Future second-round pick
Clippers get:                                                                                                                          G Nick Young
Nuggets get:
C JaVale McGee
F/C Ronny Turiaf
The Wizards now have there center of the future in NeNe, Nick Young will slide in the 2-spot for the Clippers as he returns home to LA. JaVale McGee receives a change of scenery as Denver hopes they can get the best out of the talented but anemic center.
Spurs get:                                                                                                                               F/G Stephen Jackson
Warriors get:
F Richard Jefferson
Conditional first-round pick
Wasn't Stephen Jackson just traded to the Warriors earlier this week? Well Golden State decided to trade him to another one of his former teams as he will now provide the San Antonio Spurs a proven scoring punch off the bench. Jackson was apart of the 2003 NBA Championship team and still has an excellent relationship with Head Coach Greg Popovich. The Spurs decided to get rid of Jefferson who became a liability for the Spurs and never fit in the Spurs system.
Nets get:                                                                                                                                  F Gerald Wallace
Blazers get:
F/C Mehmet Okur
F Shawne Williams
Protected first-round pick
The Blazers started there fire sale by shipping Gerald Wallace to New Jersey in a trade that benefits the Nets way more then the Blazers. Expect Wallace to be used as a building block for the Nets as they hope to keep Deron Williams this summer as they approach there move to Brooklyn next season.


Rockets get:                                                                                                                          C Marcus Camby

Blazers get:                                                                                                                  C Hasheem Thabeet                                                                                                                 G Jonny Flynn                                                                                                                       2012 second-round draft pick 
In another trade that doesn't benefit Portland. The Blazers ship Marcus Camby to Houston. The Rockets add some defensive presence, as they make a push for the playoffs.


Pacers get:                                                                                                                          G Leandro Barbosa

Raptors get:
Second-round draft pick
Barbosa gives the Pacers much needed bench scoring. "The one man fast break" will bring tons of energy to Indiana. 



Sixers get:                                                                                                                            G Sam Young

Grizzlies get:
Future considerations
Rights to Ricky Sanchez
Philly adds another wing player to it's arsenal.
