With a little under 10 minutes until the official close of trades (everything has to be in by 3 pm eastern unless a team gets approval from the league office due to negotiations) it seems we finally have a really interesting trade.

OKC and Portland seriously discussing a deal that would send Eric Maynor to Blazers, I'm told

The Blazers and Thunder are in talks that would send Eric Maynor to Portland, league sources told ESPN

Maynor has fallen out of the rotation in Oklahoma City after tearing his ACL last year and struggling upon his return. Had Reggie Jackson not emerged I imagine that no discussion would be happening. But the Thunder are rich in talent and Mayor is the kind of player who should be getting minutes. He's not a starter, but he's certainly among the best back ups in the league. Certainly better than this guy...

When I asked about the backup PG position, Carlisle said: "Right now, Mike James is our backup point guard."

I'll update when I find out more about the trade, if it goes through.

Update 2:55pm: Well that was fast.

Eric Maynor going from OKC to the Blazers is 100 percent happening, sources say

Update: 2:57 It seems OKC is getting a draft pick and a trade exception. Seems light for a player of his value.

The Blazers will use an exception to take Eric Maynor, likely sending a pick to OKC.
