Continue here.....hopefully with lots of juicy stuff

Hardly juicy, but Kemba has been bought out (not stretched). Any thoughts about a landing spot? Charlotte would be a nice story...

One of the Hornets insiders says Kemba and Charlotte has mutual interest. At this point we just need good vets in the locker room.

Would the mavs maybe be interested in Tobias Harris for Brunson S&T, Powell and Bertans?

Plan would be sixers turn Powell+stuff into someone like EG, split Harris into multiple cheaper role players, get extra room uner the apron. Not sure if they'd take Bertan's $16M last year tho

How much $$$ would Steve Ballmer have to put up to buy/trade franchises with Jeanie Buss and the rest of the Buss family?

Lakers for Clippers; Clippers for Lakers

$10B enough to be an offer they couldn't refuse?

Let's say the Buss family gets the new arena in this deal.

(Or, what would it be without the arena?)

Why would Ballmer be interested in doing that?

Why would he? He’s got the competition in his veins, and his goal is to simply overtake the Lakers.

That'll never happen.

In terms of legacy? No it won’t. But in terms of being the premier team that’s well managed and competing for titles with an owner willing to spend? Much better chance

Let's please not make this an LA vs LA thing. Plenty of more appropriate internet spots for you to wage that battle to your heart's content.

Don't know anything about this Schiffer, but he got the retweet-of-approval from Shams, so:

Would love him in any of those spots, btw. Brooklyn and Philly in particular could use a firebrand like Tucker to rally around come playoff time.

Post #16 » by **HartfordWhalers** » Thu Jun 30, 2022 4:51 pm

Tucker to Philly seems to have been talked about so much, I would be shocked not to see it at this point (after hearing how it is possible).

Would be a real solid vet for ATL especially if they move on from Collins

The path to Brooklyn being able to take back a player via S&T on a max and staying under the apron is a long and hard one.

Also seems like the Suns/Ayton's agent are desperately trying to drum up a market for Ayton. They are leaking "suitors" fast and furious.
