I'd love to see a flurry of trades. I can think of a few guys who are probably on the bubble to do something - Kupchak, Vandeweghe, Thomas (if nothing else, he's probably the hardest-working GM in the league - kudos to his mobile provider). I doubt Minny will blow up their team; Paxson is probably going to wait and rather than deal his talent while they're still on rookie contracts, he'll do sign-and-trades later on (I'm thinking Deng and Gordon are gonna be gone).
Golden State has got a couple of logjams (PF and the 2/3), Detroit needs a backup PG, Memphis needs a PG, Atlanta's looking to unload Harrington, Houston wants to get rid of Derek Anderson (maybe to Denver?), Jersey and Marc Jackson, Utah and the big Booze (way to drop the ball w/ Snyder), whoever's in charge in Orlando needs to get smacked around a little, Toronto needs a new pair of everything except PF (Colangelo's a good start).
I feel that the Cavs are going to have to do something drastic in the near future, Ferry did a lot of work trying to upgrade their roster this past off-season but I'm inclined to believe their current group is not a championship team, regardless of how good LeBron gets. I'd expect Drew Gooden to go somewhere this off-season, and I think Donyell Marshall needs to be moved.
But I...*refreshes realgm.com one last time before posting*...I don't see anything too big before the deadline.
