If the 'MELO to the KNICKS wasn't enough to get all the NBA Headlines for the 2011 NBA Trade Deadline.....the JAZZ and NETS pull off their own version of Let's Make a DEAL by the NETS acquiring Point Guard Deron WILLIAMS and the JAZZ getting Point Guard Devin HARRIS, Power Forward Derrick FAVORS, 2 Picks, and $3 million in cash.

The NETS still have work to do to try to extend WILLIAMS but can't do so until July 9, 2011 to begin them talks. But with Russian BILLIONAIRE Owner Mikhail Prokhorov at the controls the NETS will be in it until they win it.

Now looking at the NETS you have a All-Star at PG and a future All-Star at PF/C in Brooks LOPEZ. So with the 1 and 5 solidified the net will have plenty of ammunition moving forward as they move to BROOKLYN in 2013 and a lot of free agents will want to play for a guy who has deep pocket and wants to win, a new stadium on the horizon, and playing with D-WILL.

My Sources are telling me that Jazz newly Acquired PG Devin Harris will likely be on the move to DALLAS before Tomorrow's Deadline.......STAY TUNED.

On the HOT STOVE........Bad News out of ST LOUIS CARDINALS Camp.......Pitcher and CY YOUNG Award Runner-up Adam WAINRIGHT might have torn a ligament in his throwing arm in Spring Training earlier today. This is really bad news for the CARDS as they were my pick as well as the REDS to be in contention to win the National League Central this season.

With a line-up that features Albert PUJOLS and Matt HOLIDAY and a 1-2 punch of Pitchers WAINRIGHT and Chris CARPENTER they are one of the better teams in the LEAGUE. Tak out one of them pieces and the CARDS are in the middle of the PACK.

reportedly this is the same elbow ligament WAINRIGHT had surgery on in 2003 that kept him out all of that season.

Just IN........Nets send Power Forward Troy MURPHY to the Golden State WARRIORS for PF BRENDAN WRIGHT and CASH COnsideration

BULLS send Forward James JOHNSON to the RAPTORS and the BULLS pick up the 2011 1st round Pick that the RAPTORS recieved from the MIAMI HEAT in the BOSH Deal

STAY TUNED for more NBA Trade Deadline News....DEADLINE over at 5pm ET Thursday February 24, 2011
