Mock Off-Season: Day 1

[Texas Chuck]

Dallas is putting Devin Harris on the trade block.

Miami will consider a Harris for McRoberts swap if we can not dump McBob into pure cap space.

That's interesting. I guess hit me up later if you can't dump him.

[BullyKing]

By the way, kudos to everyone (especially sportscrazy), everyone has been real active and this has been a ton of fun so far.

Philly is considering an offer for Tyler Johnson that it plans to make difficult for Miami to match. Would you do a S & T if we agreed to take on McBob for nothing?

What are you offering? Miami is prepared to match any offer on Tyler Johnson. We do not plan on offering the max to Whiteside and we can match any offer to Johnson with bird rights due to the Arenas rule.

However, open to a sign and trade.

Spurs notes for the rest of the league:

May be looking to shed some salary if a certain FA commits to come here. Most attractive name will probably be Danny Green..with the possible availability of Patty Mills/Kyle Anderson.

Should we strike out...some athleticism and rebounding on the front line will be our main priority.

If you need cap space, Portland is interested in Kyle Anderson.

If you're letting Whiteside go (which you are if not offering the max) then that changes the dynamic and makes a deal unlikely.

Except jayjaysee, which is killing me, because I have a pending offer with him that is holding everything else up for me.

Washington Wizards here:

Wiz, Philly is interested in something centered around Noel for Porter and Gortat if you can find a third team to offer interesting assets for Gortat.

That's an interesting proposition, but it opens a hole at SF, and with heavy competition for Dudley, Wizards might end up with only unproven sophomore at that position, so the interest depends on finding decent forward in FA or trade market. Value is there. Plus Noel will have cap hold of only $10m next summer, which facilitates Wizards being players on next year's FA market.
Wizards have some interest in the deal, but will need to make couple of steps first, including still finding new home for Gortat.

I am prepared to let Whiteside go.

Still would like to move McRoberts and open to a Johnson sign and trade, with or without McRoberts. But I'm not giving him away.

Also wanted to add Kanter is available for cap space if anyone wants, and Singler is available too.

I will counter on your original offer for a Kanter/Chandler straight up trade.

I'd pass on that one.

How about if I throw Archie Goodwin in?

[dremill24]

Spurs waive Boris Diaw, ahead of deadline to fully guarantee his 2016-2017 salary. We appreciate his understanding of the business side of this and want him to know we are interested in bringing him back later in Free Agency.

[Warriorfan]

There are a lot of posts. The to sports crazy who put this together. Can one of the many mods hee sticky the free agency update post in the beginning so it's easy to find.

No thanks, OKC needs someone who can back up Durant and play some small ball 4.

[Warriorfan]

See Kevin OKC is taking you for granted and already forgot about you.
OKC may want to rethink their offer to Mr. Adams

No need to get smart.

And Adams isn't a free agent til next year, so nobody else can offer. I'm trying to extend early. He's also restricted in a year so again, you'd have no chance.

Mavs want clarification on the timing of this, commissioner. If this is happening in the new calendar year, we'd like to put in a waiver claim on Diaw.

You are offering Adams less money than his backup who only made one start.

[The Beam King]

I'm open to a counter, but I'm not open to any deal that doesn't have Cauley-Stein in it.

There's simply non deal then. Unless you're willingbto move a vastly superior player I'm nitbwilling to part with Stein. He's simply too important and too good a fit to give up for a marginal upgrade at point guard from Darren collision who I'm fine starting at point next season going forward.

Well, if you believe Dragic is a "marginal upgrade" from Collision were not on the same page. Go watch what Dragic did in the playoffs, how he single handly won Miami game 7 against Charlotte and game 6 against Toronto. Cauley-Stein isn't Towns.

I like dragic a lot. Don't misunderstand me. Id love it target him. I'm just not going to part with Stein to do so. I think you're undervaluing how good collision is as an all around PG. I'm completely content having him as the starting PG. Now give me an offer without Stein, and dragic interests me. But with Stein I'm simply not interest, it has nothing to do with dragic, and everything to do with the fit that cauley Stein is with cousins and the rest of the team. He was such a great pick for our needs on the court, off the court and the direction we're trying to go.

If you want to ensure getting him, Sixers will put in a claim and trade him to you for Justin Anderson.

you are welcome to claim him and then try and negotiate a trade with us, but understand our interest in him for just his salary is going to be significantly higher than if we have to take on his salary and give up an asset.

[bdpecore]

Bucks would also like to offer Giannis a 5 year max extension starting in the 2017-18 season. We value him as a player and the leader of our young team and want him to be our franchise player moving forward and think he will be the main reason Milwaukee gets to hang another championship banner in the new arena.

OK. Defensive bigs make less money, and he's RFA. Good for you though, you're clearly smarter than the room. I guess "starting" is all that matters lol.
