This is shaping up to be a very busy day. I am going to use this thread to update with trades as they happen today. I'll start with the Suns sending Shaq to Cleveland for Pavlovic, Ben Wallace, a second round pick and cash. Then came New Jersey sending Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson to Orlando for Courtney Lee, Rafer Alston and Tony Battie. With the Magic getting Carter, it looks like they may be prepared to let Hedo Turkoglu walk. Right on the heels of the Carter trade is this one: The Warriors have traded Jamal Crawford to the Hawks in exchange for Acie Law, and Speedy Claxton.
