Kevin Durant prefers Heat, Rockets, and Spurs.

He fits great with Bam and Ware. I hope it doesn't happen.

LOL...Very crazy value.


Orlando must be content with the payers and payroll they're going to have going forward. This would concern me if I was a fan of the Magic.

I think #20 was included along with Winggins. That was it.

This is why bad teams should draft BPA and not aim for draft fit.

A solid young prospect under long term control on an affordable rookie contract is a really useful trade chip when star players become available.

Baily received knowledge that VJ will be the 76ers pick.

Philly seems like a toxic situation these days, I doubt he wants to be a Hornet, no reason to be a Jazz, or a Wizard. New Oleans or a team that trades up is a better spot for Ace.

Joe Dumars gets a nice pairing for Trey and Zion.

It's not all about money for Ace.

Smart move by Joe Dumars and his Pels.

I have always said avoid CJ. Hisnleadership didn't carry over to New Oreans because he's never been a leader.

Return to Atlanta Hawks
