So, Lamb and #22 for Waiters (plus a future second maybe)?


I was joking. I don't think Presti will trade for Lamb after trading for him 4 years ago and then trading him away one year ago.
Although something like that wouldn't surprise me. You never know with him.

It was a very realistic joke :D

Portland has traded away Steve Blake three times.

I trust Woj but but Charlotte has tons of cap space. How many top teir free agents are they expecting to get?


Almost our whe team is free agents:

Batum
Marvin
Lin
Lee
Big Al

I think we wanna bring back the top 4...we need more cap space to do so. And even after that, we'd still probably only be able to afford 3 of them

My bet is as high as #16 Boston


Thad's a poor fit on Boston. I always send Thad to Memphis, so 17 works.


Damn. That would rule out 24 and 26 for 17 and Carter, and give Bryan an excuse to sell a pick.

8 guys from last year's team are FAs. They definitely want to hang on to Batum, Marvin Williams, Lee, and Lin.

Maybe if he were to get rid of Singler's contract, but I don't think Charlotte wants that.

Stein saying now the Suns are trying to dump one of their PG's. I still think Bledsoe to Milwaukee makes a lot of sense, specially after they heavily pursued Chandler last season. Not sure the Suns will be willing to take Monroe's salary, but the Bucks lottery pick would be well spent in Bled imo, not with some risk obviously, but the upside is there.

Doesn't sound very enticing of a deal for Phoenix. They have two lottery picks, I doubt they're gonna trade their best player for a 3rd one and a center that compliments their team worse than the other two centers on their roster.

Can't see them netting a much better return with Bled's injuries and Knight general play.

Honestly wouldn't even be mad as a C's fan if they went Hield. Gotta think Ainge is going to be wheeling and dealing until the last second though.

Yep. I imagine if a deal isn't already done by that point, that Danny takes every last second on the clock before making his selection.

I'm guessing Motumbo might have been manning the big screen.

Didn't the Lakers work Hield out twice? Wonder if Danny's gonna take him to flip with something to LA for Ingram...

Not sure if I'm getting leveled here or not, but NBA is just testing graphics obviously.

I dont see that happening why would the Lakers take such a huge downgrade and send them to the team they hate the most?
