Random Rumor Thread: Post em here

[HartfordWhalers]

I'm hearing Trevor Ariza & Pat Beverley for Nerlens Noel and a draft pick. Not sure how credible it is yet.

Fischer tweeted this earlier. I can't imagine Philly does this

Fisher had Thad Young for Cousins a few years ago. He also had Evan Turner traded ~12 times in one draft, going 0 for 12 on it. He isn't a credible source. My fake trades are more credible. Hoopscritic is more credible. (Typing that hurt.)

Totally agree. More reason why I don't believe this has any legs

Why would HOU? Who's starting PG and SF then? Though replacing Dwight with Noel, would be nice. HOU needs shooters. If only they could get rid of Brewer's albatross of a contract on some poor unsuspecting soul.

I don't think they should give up on Ariza, I think his spirit was just broken this year with how bad they played at times and maybe with Dwight's dark cloud gone, the team will be different. HOU should try to peel away Horford or Whiteside to replace Dwight.

League sources say Portland trying hard to get into first round. Celtics (aka the http://amazon.com of draft picks) open for business.

Bulpett is probably the best local source of info out of the Celtics office. If they want stuff out locally, that's who they tend to use.

Not sure what Portland is willing to send out, anyone have any ideas there?

Future first from Cleveland. Gives Boston the opportunity to push back a first.

They are not going to get much of anything for that.

Boston can't take on any more cash for the year anyway.

What exactly is the point of this? I've never totally understood this part of the draft.

These trades can't be finished until July 1st. Sometimes trades fall apart. Gotta leave things as is for now.

The Thunder must know that the rumors about Ibaka being 3-4 years older than listed (26) are true. Buyer beware.

Been saying this was a possibility for 6 months. Can't say I'm excited about it, though.

The "rumors" are a Reddit post that someone made that became a meme. It's not close to factual.

It makes sense when you look at his statistical decline and the fact they are putting him on the block now. Why wouldn't they keep the team intact when they have to court Durant and Westbrook (next summer) into staying?

1. Kyrie Irving played better 2 years ago than this last season, so he's older too then I suppose.

2. There's literally zero proof of this, its a generally somewhat racist idea against Africans posted on reddit.

Rumor of them shopping him might be false.
They might not want KD, Westbrook, Ibaka, Adams, Roberson all needing contracts next summer (assumes KD does the 1+1).
Maybe they want to make KD a full-time PF?
Maybe they are just floating his value/

Doesn't have to be the age issue.

So whoever gets drafted 12th is going to be handed a Utah hat? Whoever goes 20th is handed a Pacers hat?


I know they do this every year, but I hate it.
