Mucho ruido y pocas nueces/All talk and no trousers


Llegó el final para los traspasos en la NBA. Hubo muchos movimientos pero nada significativo. Salvo el traspaso de J.J. Redick a los Bucks. El escolta de 28 años era una de las piezas importantes que se rumoreaba con un cambio. Finalmente se va a Milwaukee para compartir equipo con Monta Ellis y Brandon Jennings, en un intento de pegar un salto en la Conferencia Este. Los Bucks obtienen una pieza que les puede ayudar a levantar su porcentaje de 3 puntos (21º con un 34,8%).
The end came for trades in the NBA. There were many movements but nothing significant. Unless the transfer of J.J. Redick to the Bucks. The escort 28 years-old shooting guard was one of the important pieces that are rumored to change. Finally he goes to Milwaukee and is going to share team with Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings, in an attempt to hit a jump in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks get a piece that can help them raise their 3-point percentage (21th with 34.8%).

Un caso muy curioso es el de Houston. Desde la semana previa al Draft 2012 hasta hoy renovó casi todo el plantel. Solamente Chandler Parsons y Greg Smith se mantienen en la plantilla desde la temporada pasada. Así y todo, los Rockets están octavos en la Conferencia Oeste. El equipo texano envió a Pattrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich y Toney Douglas a Sacramento a cambio del ala-pivot Thomas Robinson, 5º elección del Draft 2012, Francisco García y Tyler Honeycutt. Además, Marcus Morris fue traspasado a Phoenix a cambio de una elección de segunda ronda en 2013. Por segunda vez en la historia, dos gemelos jugarán juntos en la NBA: Marcus y Markieff Morris. La anterior vez había sucedido en la temporada 76-77, también en los Suns: Dick y Tom Van Arsdale.
A curious case is Houston. From the week before the Draft 2012 until today the franchise renewed most of the team. Only Chandler Parsons and Greg Smith remain in the roster since last season. Still, the Rockets are eighth in the Western Conference. The Texan team sent Pattrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas to Sacramento in exchange for power forward Thomas Robinson, 5th draft pick on 2012, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt. In addition, Marcus Morris was traded to Phoenix in exchange for a second-round pick in 2013. For the second time in history, two twins will play together in the NBA: Marcus and Markieff Morris. The time had happened earlier was in 76-77 season, also on the Suns: Dick and Tom Van Arsdale.

El jugador más importante que se rumoreaba que iba a ser traspasado era Josh Smith. Hasta último momento, los Nets buscaban formas de cautivar a los Hawks, pero finalmente el ala de 27 años permanecerá en Atlanta hasta fin de temporada y luego será agente libre, igual que su amigo Dwight Howard, ambos oriundos de Georgia. ¿Podrán los Hawks convencer a ambos para jugar juntos en su ciudad natal?
The most important player who was rumored to be traded was Josh Smith. Until the last moment, the Nets were looking for ways to captivate the Hawks, but eventually the 27 years-old forward will remain in Atlanta until the end of season and then become a free agent, like his friend Dwight Howard, both from Georgia. Can the Hawks convince both to play together in their hometown?
