Knicks At The Trade Deadline; Brewer Traded To Thunder
The NBA Trade Deadline was at 3 PM today.
The Knicks were expected to not make any moves, but, sent Ronnie Brewer to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a 2nd Round Pick in 2014. They have also signed Kenyon Martin to a 10-Day contract to fill the roster spot freed up by the Brewer trade.

Grunwald on Brewer: "Ronnie had fallen out of the playing rotation. He's a great guy and a good player." Said Brewer didn't demand the trade—

Moving Ronnie Brewer gives pending FA a chance elsewhere and to open up a roster spot. Room to sign Kenyon Martin if necessary.—

Brewer will go for a future second-rounder. Clearing roster spot to sign a buyout guy. Also doing favor for a good guy.—

In a separate deal, the Thunder is likely to acquire guard Ronnie Brewer from New York as well.—

#Knicks have a deal in waiting. Maybe Brewer?—

League source says #Knicks still trying to move Ronnie Brewer. FWIW, I'm told Brewer has not been informed of anything. Tough sell right now—

#Knicks have no interest in Amundson. None.—

Knicks entire squad is practicing so no one gone with 88 minutes to deadline.—

Sources: #Knicks are exploring making a trade/dumping a contract to create room for someone. Perhaps J. O'Neal? Martin & Amundson available.—

Knicks Unlikely To Make Trade >> RealGM
Shumpert to Orlando Deal “Near Dead” >> Hoopsworld
League source expects #Knicks to mostly stand pat at deadline. One piece of business? Moving a contract in an effort to add Jermaine O’Neal.
