    NBA news and rumors 2/7

    The Lakers have traded Vladimir Radmanovic to Charlotte for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown. The Lakers get out from under Radmanovic’s long-term contract, which could help them manage future payroll and possibly more likely retain Lamar Odom (and Trevor Ariza, who will be the top offseason priority). Orange County Register

    The latest rumblings out of Clipperland suggest that rookie Eric Gordon and center Marcus Camby are the only two players L.A. refuses to trade, which is another way of saying that the Baron Davis trade speculation isn't about to go away, no matter how unlikely it is in this economy for a deal to materialize before the deadline that forces Davis to leave his hometown. This is the first season of a five-year, $65 million deal for Davis, with his under-fire boss (Mike Dunleavy) believed to be equally insulated from relocation with more than $10 million owed him over the next two seasons as coach/GM.

    Steve Nash on the possibility of reuniting with D'Antoni in New York or going home to Canada with Toronto as a 2010 free agent: "Like I always say, my first priority is finishing my career here in Phoenix. If it came to the point that they break up our team or it's time to look elsewhere, obviously there would be worse places to go than Toronto or New York. "I have connections to both places, on and off the floor" Whether he'll consider the Suns' offer to sign an extension this summer to keep him from reaching free agency: "All I can say right now is that I look forward to that conversation."

    Abe Pollin, the owner of the NBA Washington Wizards, has offered Obama the use of his team’s home court, the Verizon Center, nine blocks east of the White House. Obama’s pickup games probably would fill more of the center’s 20,000 seats than the Wizards do, who are vying this season only to be the worst of the NBA’s 30 teams. Boston Herald

    ources told ESPN.com that the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons and Portland Trail Blazers are among the many teams with whom Phoenix has exchanged trade concepts, with the Bulls and Heat believed to be pursuing Stoudemire hardest at this early stage. Almost every team in the league has some degree of interest in Stoudemire, but sources close to the process maintain that the Suns will only part with the 26-year-old in a deal that delivers at least one decent-sized expiring contract along with younger talent and/or draft considerations.
