Because if not he'll probably take another discount on a short contract

Cavs better trading Irving than Love anyways.

Jerry West to Clips is interesting in itself but just saw a rumor DAJ talks with Suns.

Piecing things together in thinking Clippers are going full rebuild.

Blake and CP3 maybe have already said they're out so may as well trade DAJ for whatever you can get and hit reset.


Also saw Phil offered Staps to Suns for #4 and Booker to give you the kind of value he's looking for. Maybe Phil thinks Staps at his peak and wants to hard reset with Melo wanting to leave too. Doesn't make sense but idk

His agent was his brother.

We linked to his website years back in TZ, the verbiage with which he described himself was something else.

Yes, Paul fired him.

Lebron to the Celtics for every single one of their picks for the next five years and Olynyk.

Who says no?!!?

Assuming to facilitate this, Love has to move to a 3rd team sounds like Suns are the team.


Suns rumors is straight up trading for Love have already floated around.

Something like

Cavs in: Butler
Suns in: Love
Bulls in: 4th pick

I feel like Suns lose though, they'd probably have to get some future pick(s), but yeah. Very real chance this is in the works.


Also telling that PG13 isn't the target. Likely he's telling teams no matter what he's going to LA so really only Clippers could take a chance to snatch him this year. Or he will just be traded at the deadline for the best offer.

bulls need to do whats best for them not jimmy and what team he wants to go to. problem is gar/pax dont do that the majority of the time but if theyre gonna move butler it needs to be to boston who can and will give them the most by far in return. theyd also probaly get alot more in return dealing him to the timberchickens as opposed to cleveland

I had no idea George Hill played for the Spurs, wild.

looks like murray might turn into a pretty nice PG, he should be at the very least splitting minutes with parker and allowed to develop. they should find a way to get rid of parker and his salary but the spurs are too loyal to do that but theyd be better off having murray and mills as their pg's at this point, unfortunately looks like they may lose patty to free agency cuz they wont have the cap space to resign him

That's why the trade for Kawhi was so crazy, it was clear that Hill was very good and they were willing to accept the #15 (!!!) pick for him.

That usually nets you like Courtney Alexander.
06-20-2017 , 04:01 PM
Bev's looks like he's also up for grabs.

I am intrigued.
06-20-2017 , 04:11 PM
Selling high on Bevs is a good move by Morey. Similar to Crowder, their value is so intertwined with their contract that waiting until their last year is selling past peak sell-by date.

Might get less PT if they want to run Harden in even more of a true pg role (defensively).
06-20-2017 , 04:15 PM
Sounds like Beverly asked to be traded or it was a mutual thing. Should be interesting. If Bucks didn't have Delly I'd love that kind of pair with Giannis.


Hearing Paul George likely to be a Laker before the draft.

Clarkson + Randle + 28th pick or something. I think they wanna keep Randle though. Time will tell!

I guess it's better than just losing PG13 for nothing but most of those guys and that pick are pretty bad for Indy. I guess they plan on full tanking.

How much do you think Pau is getting?
06-20-2017 , 04:45 PM
3/30-36

So he's the NBAs Bill Polian?

Didn't RJeff opt out of the Spurs in a similar spot years ago and then ended up not resigning because the Spurs used their cap up? And there were some rumors that they must have paid him off under the table or something.

They should try to do the same thing with Pau, he'll be happier in a city with opera anyways.

Bill Polian actually had success in his position(s).

It'd be more like Mike Holmgren in Cleveland.

I thought they traded RJeff for SJax who was on a shorter deal. Maybe it was someone else?
06-20-2017 , 05:05 PM
RJeff transactions (per Spotrac):

JUN 23 2009 - Traded from Milwaukee to San Antonio for Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto

JUN 30 2010 - Exercised an Early Termination Option in order to void the remaining seasons on current contract with San Antonio (SAS)

JUL 22 2010 - Signed a 4 year $39 million contract with San Antonio

MAR 15 2012 - Traded to Golden State (GSW) from San Antonio (SAS) with T.J. Ford and a 2012 first-round draft pick for Stephen Jackson

JUN 1 2013 - Exercised $11.046 million Player Option with Golden State (GSW)

JV+ Powell + #23 blows that package out of the water.

Hell Powell alone is probably worth more than it since I don't view Randle or Clarkson as much of an asset
