NBA Trade Deadline ...... Who's coming and Going

[h=1]Thomas Robinson dealt to Houston[/h]
After selecting Thomas Robinson with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2012 draft, the Sacramento Kings already have him on the move, according to reports.
[h=4]Sorting Through The Trades[/h] The Rockets reportedly agreed to two trades Wednesday night -- one each with the Kings and Suns. Here is what each team stands to receive when the deals are finalized:


Yahoo! Sports reported Wednesday night that the Kings have agreed to send Robinson to the Houston Rockets along with Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt in exchange for Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas. USA Today reported that the Kings, in the process of being sold, also received $1 million in the transaction.
In advance of Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, Houston also is dealing forward Marcus Morris to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for a second-round draft pick in June, sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard.
Morris, averaging 8.6 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in Houston, will join his twin brother, Markieff Morris, in Phoenix.
The Kings will raise eyebrows by giving up so soon on such a high pick, but the move saves more than $3 million in payroll this season and reunites star forward DeMarcus Cousins with Patterson, his former Kentucky teammate.
Patterson, Aldrich and Douglas walked out of the Toyota Center just as Houston was starting its game against Oklahoma City on Wednesday night. The Rockets came into the game holding the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference and the moves were unexpected.
The 6-foot-9 Patterson had started 38 games for Houston this season and was the Rockets' fourth-leading scorer, averaging 11.6 points. Douglas was acquired in the offseason in a trade with New York and played in 49 games backing up Jeremy Lin. The 6-11 Aldrich, acquired in the James Harden trade with Oklahoma City just before the season, averaged 1.7 points in 30 games for Houston this season.
Sacramento had high hopes for the 6-10 Robinson, but he's disappointed so far, averaging only 4.8 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16 minutes per game.

Kings general manager Geoff Petrie had hinted that he'd only make minor moves before the trade deadline because of the pending purchase agreement that could move the franchise to Seattle next season.
Marcus Morris was all smiles about the deal on Wednesday night, even though the Suns entered their game against Golden State with the worst record in the West (18-36).
"It's my first trade," Morris said. "All I kept hearing was, it's a business. It happens. I mean, it does happen. I'm excited to see where my career can go from here.
Suns coach Lindsey Hunter wouldn't talk about the deal specifically, but acknowledged that Phoenix is building for the future.
"We're trying to get better," he said. "We're trying to build a foundation of something that we hope will last."

Celtics acquire Jordan Crawford

LOS ANGELES -- The Boston Celtics acquired third-year guard Jordan Crawford from the Washington Wizards for Leandro Barbosa on Thursday, sources have confirmed to ESPN.com's Marc Stein.
Barbosa is out the remainder of the 2012-13 season after tearing his ACL earlier this month. Crawford is expected to fill Barbosa's void on Boston's bench after falling out of favor in Washington.
The 24-year-old Crawford, the 27th pick in the 2010 draft, has averaged 13.4 points, 3.1 assists, and 2.7 rebounds over 26.2 minutes per game for his career. This season he's at 13.2 points, 3.7 assists, and 3.1 rebounds over 26.2 minutes per contest, starting 12 of Washington's 43 games. Since the return of John Wall, Crawford has seen his playing time decrease.
Barbosa saw increased playing time after Rajon Rondo tore his ACL in late January, only to sustain the same season-ending injury less than three weeks later. Barbosa is waiting for an MCL sprain to heal before undergoing surgery to repair the ACL injury.
Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge had previously expressed an interest in bringing Barbosa back next season.
Initial reports suggested the Celtics and Wizards were discussing a deal centered around a Crawford swap for rookie Fab Melo, but that never materialized. The Celtics view Melo as a long-term project and he's spent much of the season in the D-League, but is traveling with Boston now while providing emergency depth for an injury-depleted roster.
