I think both, Kyle plays well with Jimmy but I think Wall will play really well alongside Bam. Wall would be a great insurance to have for the inevitable Lowry rest days if he's not moved


I think wall would want a starting position, to get some respect put back on his name


The Clippers can give him a starting position, they don't have a PG.

The Dipo thing speaks volume if its true. Dude turned down a huge contract to come down here, he thought we would repay that. Now it seems like he's going to the wolves. We have his bird right, so we can sign him to any contract yet are choosing to not pay him. We don't kid about not paying the tax lol.

The problem the team has right now is where to find minutes for everybody. Lowry and Vincent occupy the PG spot then you have Herro,Dipo, and Strus vying for minutes at SG. 16 million dollar paper weight with Duncan at backup SF. The team is probably viewing Herro as the priority with his extension looming and Strus as the low cost backup option. Then you add Martin into the equation who’s probably going to be cheaper to bring back then Dipo and does not need guaranteed minutes. And on top of all of that Haywood Highsmith as a sleeper to be Strus and Vincent this year.

The way Oladipo is showing his twitter emotions is as if Riley has spoken with his agent already and they did not get the answer they wanted to hear. Tough spot but this team has other pressing priorities especially with Jovic as the only active 4 currently on the roster.

Dipo won't stomach another year knowing Duncan freaking Robinson makes more money than him. HE GONE folks.

A former all-star, still in his early 30s, and now healthy is not gonna swallow his ego pride for another year.

:o i didnt expect this from him. i thought that he would come back since he was apparently liked by FO and fans


I don't see how to tie this quote into free agency. For all we know, he could be talking about ex who told everybody he gave her the clap.

Might be a tax issue preventing us from keeping him issue so that's a negative on a trade.

Not sure what the Knicks are doing but don’t see us as a trade match for Randle.

if they lose out on Brunson, Kyrie resigns or goes somewhere else, I can see them interested in a Lowry for Randle trade.

I agree with this. Been saying the team had to decide between him and Herro. Obviously due to age and ceiling the team has to give the reigns to Herro. Strus is on a minimum so that’s bang for buck. Oladipo on the outside looking in if he’s looking for a mid level deal.

It's gonna be scary if the Bucks get him. Do they have MLE this year? Hope he goes to the west or a stupid bottom-tier team that has the money to spend.

Have pegged the Bucks as the top suitor for Dipo using there MLE. He has a tight relationship with Giannis.

Duncan’s deal stinks. You got 16 million languishing on the bench right now and nobody even looking fairly interested in absorbing that contract into space. Going to cost us Dipo it looks like. Duncan’s contract needs to be used for an upgrade at the 4. Martin most likely is retained as the backup 3 with Highsmith vying for minutes behind him.
