If we hear rumors chances are high that it's not happening. Has there been a trade with any real rumors before it was announced? Mook and Harris both seemed to come out of nowhere. Reggie might have leaked a bit I can't remember that one. Butler and Ersan came out of nowhere.

Only way I could see it is maybe if we were part of a 3 team trade. More chances for a leak/moving parts

At this point do we trade Boban for an expiring if we can? SVG doesn't trust him, Leur can hold down the center spot and it clears a bit of time at PF for the rook. Not to mention helps us with luxury tax approaching with KCPs pay day

Unless we unload more contracts to get significantly under the cap, it really comes down to Gores.

Read on Twitter


Would this be the first time a player gets traded for a player he was originally traded for?

What makes you think he doesn't trust him? Imo the Boban signing was never about this year (or at least the first half of this year), it's about after Baynes is gone.

I found this (http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=766276), so it doesn't sound like it'll be the first, but it's definitely extremely uncommon. That said, I'd love to get DJ back. I know a lot of people don't like him, but he was playing great as a starter for us under SVG. And he can shoot the lights (out when he's not coming off the bench).

Just read we've discussed RJ for DJ and Green... I'd be content with DJ but Jeff Green stopped playing basketball in 2010 he can stay tf away

Green is a expiring and that is all but if we don't get back Hezonja in the deal which I would assume is what SVG is after then F that.

I also liked DJ when he was here. I wouldn't even care about Jeff Green coming here he is expiring. Getting Hezonja would be awesome.
