Here are the rumors I am hearing through the grape vines. Take them with a grain of salt, as much chatter is always prevalent around this time.
-- Major talks out of Boston have Rajon Rondo on the block. The Celtics front office have come up and said this publicly. I got word yesterday there are discussions which include Rudy Gay and Mike Conley going to Boston in exchange for Rajon Rondo, and Brian Scalabrine. The logic here is the Celtics are worried with Rondo's development and after a good post season do not want his ego to get in the way of progress. Then again, why trade your best point guard who just had a monster postseason...
-- You will be hearing a lot about the New York Knicks in the next 24 hours and on. The trade talks with the Knicks are abundant starting with David Lee and Wilson Chandlers name being thrown around. Yesterday before Washington made their trade with the Timberwolves, they asked the Knicks for Chandler in exchange for the 5th pick according to rumors, the Knicks declined. New reports say that the Knicks may send cash to the Timberwolves for the 28th pick overall. The deal would give the Knicks the 8th and 28th picks in Thursday's draft. There are also talks that the Knicks will acquire former top lottery pick Darko Milicic for Quentin Richardson.
-- The Dallas Mavericks are looking to make a deal on draft day including Jerry Stackhouse. Teams like Chicago with Kirk Hinrich, Detroit with Tayshaun Prince, the Nets with Vince Carter and several other teams are looking to dumb names with long term contracts.
-- The Houston Rockets are offering Carl Landry to try and get a pick in the top 13.
