Aren't those 2nd round picks in the high 30's?

Wow. Great pickup for Philly.
They're going to have to have two lottery picks and two high first round picks.

Philly got a total of 7 picks! Pretty sure they can pick up 2 more if they trade Young and Evans.

The Bobcats need to make this happen:
Kings still shopping Jimmer Fredette, unable to find deal for him so far, league sources tell Yahoo. A 2014 second-round pick could get him.

• Andy Greder, Pioneer Press: Rumors about Timberwolves forward Kevin Love leaving Minnesota swirled late Wednesday night as basketball writer Peter Vecsey tweeted, “Wolves’ fans nightmare has come true.” “He’s forcing premature exit,” Vecsey tweeted after 10 p.m. Wednesday. Wolves president of basketball operations Flip Saunders quickly denied that. “Rumors of Love telling me he’s opting out [after 2015] and wants to be traded are false,” Saunders tweeted. “Last conversation I had with him was him telling me how bad my sports coat was.”
• Marc Stein, ESPN.com: Laker plan taking shape: Trade Jordan Hill and Chris kaman in next 17 hours and they get under tax AND no longer HAVE to trade Pau Gasol. [That's] what some rival execs now expect Lakes to do. Trade Hill. Trade Kaman. Then roll w/Pau into July to re-sign or sign-and-trade him.
• Ramona Shelburne, ESPNLosAngeles.com: Sense is Brooklyn & New Orleans are leaders for Jordan Hill. Charlotte, ATL among others who’ve expressed interest
• Steve Bulpett, Boston Herald: One team executive who’d spoken to the Celtics reported that, in particular, the Rajon Rondo rumors appear to be out of control. “They’re willing to talk about Rondo, but that’s always been true, for Rondo and for everyone,” he said. “But I can tell you that nothing is happening there. That doesn’t mean someone won’t panic today and make them a real offer, but I know that hasn’t happened yet.” There was further indication that there was no substance to reports of interest in Rondo from Houston. There has been nothing approaching a negotiation or even a call from the Rockets.
• Jason Lloyd, Akron Beacon Journal: The Cavaliers remain confident they’ll get a deal done in advance of today’s 3 p.m. trade deadline, but what exactly they’ll do remains a mystery. The team is taking calls on Luol Deng, but would need a first-round pick in return to consider parting with him. … ESPN reported the Cavs had emerged as frontrunners to acquire the Los Angeles Lakers’ Jordan Hill, but a league source refuted that and insisted the two sides weren’t in discussions over Hill. The Cavs have also been linked in trade rumors to the Lakers’ Pau Gasol and Chris Kaman, but all of those talks seemed dormant as of today.
• Mike Ganter, Toronto Sun: There is every chance the NBA trade deadline will come and go with the Raptors not making a move.
• Charles F. Gardner, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: [T]he Bucks have a few veterans that could intrigue teams jockeying for playoff position. Among those players are guards Gary Neal and Luke Ridnour and small forward Caron Butler. … If the Bucks do make any deals, they are seeking young assets and possibly draft picks that could help the team’s rebuilding process. … A league source indicated nothing was close for the Bucks as of Wednesday afternoon, but deals often come together in the last few hours before the deadline.
• Paul Coro, Arizona Republic: The Suns entered the final hours before the trade deadline not expecting to broker a deal by Thursday’s 1 p.m. deadline, but they remain a possible player because of their cap space, Emeka Okafor’s expiring, insurance-protected contract and precarious playoff position.
• Sam Amick, USA Today Sports: From the Phoenix front, I’m told Suns not close to anything right now. Standing pat is more likely possibility, but they’re still exploring.
• Keith Pompey, Philadelphia Inquirer: [Sixers GM Sam Hinkie] wants first-round picks in exchange for Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes, and Thaddeus Young. That could be a major problem. … Will the Sixers settle for the best offer? Or will they do what appeared unthinkable months ago – opt to keep the team intact?
• Ken Berger, CBSSports.com: Unable to secure a 1st-round pick in a deal for Evan Turner, Sixers may now take a 2nd as part of package for ’10 No. 2 pick, sources say. Philly has plenty of room to take back salary for Turner and is averse to signing him to a nearly $9M qualifying offer this summer.
• Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo Sports: Within hours of trade talks collapsing with the Los Angeles Clippers on a deal, New York Knicks guard Iman Shumpert suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee, a league source told Yahoo Sports. … There’s concern about possible meniscus damage that will be addressed in the examination, a source told Yahoo Sports. … After several rounds of negotiations, the Clippers and Knicks abandoned discussions on a proposed trade centered around Shumpert earlier on Wednesday, league sources said. The Knicks had interest in bringing back Clippers point guard Darren Collison and rookie Reggie Bullock as part of a package, but wanted Los Angeles to accept Raymond Felton in the deal, sources said. The Clippers resisted the Felton element of the deal, and were reluctant to part with Bullock or any draft picks in talks, sources said.
• Marc Berman, New York Post: If the Knicks make a move by Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline, it likely will be dealing out-of-the-rotation point guard Beno Udrih.
• K.C. Johnson, Chicago Tribune: Echoing comments general manager Gar Forman and executive vice president of basketball operations John Paxson made last week, [Chicago coach Tom] Thibodeau said he would be surprised if the Bulls made a trade before Thursday’s 2 p.m. deadline. Despite rumors, the Bulls have shown no desire to move Mike Dunleavy because he’s an affordable rotation player who fits next season.
• Christopher Dempsey, Denver Post: By the time the Nuggets hit the court against the Milwaukee Bucks in their second game after the all-star break, they’ll already know whether they are officially past the Andre Miller era. And if he is dealt by 1 p.m. Thursday, the NBA’s trade deadline, it will go down as one of the most challenging deals Nuggets general manager Tim Connelly ever made. Connelly is dealing from a position of no leverage, so the Nuggets are getting one-sided offers. Miller has wanted out of town since an episode Jan. 1, when he publicly ripped coach Brian Shaw during a game against Philadelphia.
• Vincent Goodwill, Detroit News: Pistons president Joe Dumars still had the expiring contracts of Rodney Stuckey and Charlie Villanueva to dangle at teams, with both making around $8.5 million each before their deals come off the books. … But since the unexpected firing of Maurice Cheeks by owner Tom Gores after just 50 games, it doesn’t appear the Pistons are in any rush to make any moves — either out of haste or foresight for the future.
• Mike Tokito, The Oregonian: [M]any signs point to Portland going through the trade deadline without making a deal for the first time since 2004-05.
• John Reid, New Orleans Times Picayune: Despite that his name has been swirling amid trade speculation, New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Anthony Morrow tried to turn his attention solely toward Wednesday night’s game against the New York Knicks. But the possibility remains that he could be playing for another team if the Pelicans pull the trigger before Thursday’s 2 p.m. trade deadline. League sources confirmed Wednesday that the Pelicans could be looking to unload one of their guards to secure draft picks. Second-year guard Austin Rivers, who was the 10th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, also has been mentioned in trade rumors.

No one wants Jimmer. He's a terrible player. Great shot and absolutely nothing else.
Happy to see that teams want Beno Udrih, he's trash. We better move him today....for anything.

You do know there a ton of NBA players throughout history that managed to keep a job because they had a great shot and nothing else?
If you're an elite shooter...you'll always have a job in the NBA. Period.

Shooters can last in the league but I don't see anyone giving a second round pick for someone that can only shoot and struggles to even get open to shoot.

So the Hawes trade is officially Hawes for Earl Clark, Henry Sims and two 2nd rounders (one of which being Orlando's 
)
Not as bad as I originally expected.

Hawes will help the Cavs for sure. 7 foot, can space the floor real well and is a very good passer.
After this trade we can also take on basically any huge contract in the league if a team like Boston wants to rid itself of Gerald Wallace in exchange for their 1st rounder.

First rounders are prized more than ever before thanks to the CBA, no way a team is giving one up to rent Hawes (same goes for Turner).

Exactly, and the Cavs were not drafting 3 guys in the 2nd round.. Plus Sims and Clark were deadweights.
