Vince Carter
At the trading deadline, the New Jersey Nets showed confidence in Vince Carter, opting not to deal him but to rather tell him to step up as a team leader.

“We’re not going to move him (Carter). Not before the trade deadline, anyway,” Nets’ General Manager Rod Thorn said of Carter. “I’m not saying we’ll never move anybody, but we’re not going to move him (now).”

Tonight Carter proved his place on the team, shooting for 24 points with 9 rebounds and 5 assists in a 102-91 victory over the Indiana Pacers. Richard Jefferson helped as well, scoring 36 buckets and making 2 steals. Another contributing factor was point guard Marcus Williams, who has been filling in at the one guard since the trade of Jason Kidd. New acquisition Devin Harris isn’t quite healthy yet, he’s on the DL with an ankle sprain. In 34 minutes of play, Williams scored 8 points with 13 assists.

“They were good and they’ve only played a few games with Marcus Williams,” Danny Granger of the Indiana Pacers said. “He’s not Jason Kidd, obviously, but I think he’s going to be a good point guard. When you have wings like Jefferson and Carter, you are always going to be in the game.”

Kirk Snyder as a member of the Hornets
Today Kirk Snyder was dealt to the Minnesota Timberwolves in exchange for former slam dunk contest champion Gerald Green, who’s new team is the Houston Rockets. Snyder and Green were said to be very unhappy regarding their amount of playing time. Snyder’s only played in 9 games this season for the Rockets; he averaged 8 points per game in 2005 with the New Orleans Hornets. Green’s making 5.1 points per game at this point this season, averaging just over 12 minutes of court time. Green made 10.4 points per game last season with the Boston Celtics, a season where he played 81 games.

“If I had another year left guaranteed, I wouldn’t be as concerned about this year,” Green said shortly before learning of the trade. “But as a free agent, and I’m not playing, it’s tough for me because I know this could be my last year. I didn’t want it to go like this.”

Von Wafer with Linas Kleiza
Its been a busy NBA trading deadline. Von Wafer was dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers for Taurean Green, who will play for the Denver Nuggets. Each guard is 22 years old, and hasn’t played much in 2008. Green’s averaged just 5 minutes and 30 seconds of court time, while Wafer’s only received an average of 4.3 minutes per game.

“We want to thank Taurean Green and wish him all the best for the future, which I think will be a bright one in this league,” said Blazers GM Kevin Pritchard. “We had a positional need to fill with some of the injuries we’re having to endure and with Von Wafer we think we’re getting a player who can provide us with some offensive firepower.”

Brezec goes for a block
Backup point guard Juan Dixon will now battle for court time for the Detroit Pistons. Today Juan was traded to Detroit for center Primoz Brezec. Averaging just 12 minutes a game for the Toronto Raptors, Dixon also scored 4.3 points a game. Dixon was drafted in 2002 by the Washington Wizards with the 17th overall pick in the first round. Brezec averaged just 1.7 points and 1.7 rebounds this season in an average of 5 minutes and 47 seconds of action this season with Detroit.

“It’s important we have players that want to be here,” Raptors president and general manager Bryan Colangelo said. “Dixon and his representatives made it clear that he didn’t.”

Wallace
The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired one of the game’s great centers. As a part of a 3 team trade, the Cavs acquired Ben Wallace, Guard Joe Smith, Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West from the Seattle Supersonics. Cleveland also acquired the rights to Chicago’s 2nd round draft pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. The Chicago Bulls will receive Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Cedric Simmons and Shannon Brown from Cleveland. And the Sonics get Chris Duhon, Ira Newble, Donyell Marshall, and guard Adrian Griffin.

The trade was reportedly completed right before the EST 3:00 pm trading deadline.

“It’s one of those things you come in and play hard and try to give what you give and not worry about what you can’t control,” Wallace said. “We had some guys that were banged up and beat up a bit. It was tough for us to get everybody on the floor and try to play basketball.”

Yao Ming Attempts a Tre at the All Star Game
Thanks in part to 5 3-pointers from Boston Celtic Ray Allen, the East Coast prevailed in the 2008 NBA All Star Game in New Orleans. Dwight Howard scored 16 points and Lebron James had 27 buckets to help out in the winning effort. Missing from the West Coast lineup was Kobe Bryant, who because of an injury was limited to playing just 2 minutes in the first quarter.

East Coast point guard Jason Kidd scored just one basket but dealt out 10 assists, in possibly his last game associated with the New Jersey Nets organization. News was revealed before the game that his trade to the Dallas Mavericks was nearly completed.
