JaVale McGee plans to meet with Pistons Monday

Feeling like if the Lakers land Kawhi, McGee might go back to LA for the minimum.

No announcement probably means he left town. I'm okay with that for the simple reason I want the drama of still having the BAE to spend.

Jonas Jerebko for BAE? Or does it need to be someone bigger who can play against bigger centers?

Jonas would be underwhelming. He does have business interests in the area though.

Yeah, I would be fairly surprised if Javale ended up signing with us. He can get a small contract with a better team most likely.

We landed Rose because we were offering a bigger role and substantial money.

As far as backup centers go, the worthy candidates for the BAE are starting to dry up. Obviously Detroit isn't getting Boogie or WCS. Everybody else is either ancient, sucks, is completely unproven, or would be out of position at the 5.

Getting Udoh on the minimum wouldn't be a terrible outcome. I personally would welcome Eric Moreland back as well. He's capable of playing the 4 and 5.

He met with Houston too, and is probably waiting to see what happens with Leonard.

He can likely get a similar deal in a winning situation. There’s nothing outstanding we can offer in terms of cash, situation, or even role. He probably took a meeting with us thinking he might get a bigger piece of the MLE.

Willie Cauley-Stein signed with Golden State. Bloody hell.

Damn. What a pickup!

Vonleh off the board - if we were ever interested (we should have been) -

Read on Twitter

Can't wait around for Javale if that is what we're doing.

I'm beginning to think we'll end up with Eric Moreland once again. If he's in the second unit with Thon and three scorers - Luke, Derrick and maybe Svi - it could be functional.

Good choices dwindling fast. Not much left for Stefanski. Still would like to see a another trade before the season starts, but I know I am asking to much......Prefer bold, but just looking for our FO to be creative ...for once.... please...

He's going to go to the Lakers. He knows he's getting the minimum so wants to pick the best fit.

Wouldn't be surprised I'd he and his brother go to the LA team that doesn't get Leonard. OR Marcus does to Clippers and Markief goes to Lakers if they get Leonard.
