Yeah, I really like Giles and Kennard (hence why I drafted them!), but I simply can't turn this down and agree that it works really well for both of us. I'll PM sportscrazy with my approval; you do the same and we've got a deal.

It's a pleasure doing business with you, but also a bit ironic — I offered you Marcus Morris when you took over the Celtics, you declined, I wound up trading him for #16, took Kennard, and know I'm dealing you Kennard. Funny how these things play out sometimes, ain't it?

Pleasure doing business my friend

If you can offload Jackson now I love what you're doing. If you force Jackson back into a backup role I love it even more :lol:

Thank you! I swear to God, I thought I was just gonna be mellow and realistic and make really modest changes!

But in for a penny, in for a pound — negotiating with the Spurs for Aldridge in the draft thread right now, too. Might move out Jackson, but if not, then yeah, he's my 6th man since IT has shown he can play next to another PG at times. One thing's for sure, this game's a lot more fun when you grab your balls, jump, and go big!

You want to formally approach Melo about reconsidering a trade to SA?

He would be open to adding the Spurs to his list if Chris Paul were to sign there as a free agent, but would need that to play out first before accepting a deal.

Is he open to Washington if we improve by getting him + Gasol by any chance?

Wall
Beal
Mello
Morris
Gasol

Is top 5 in the league.

him and Gasol will cost a fair bit to be honest.

Minnesota looking to deal Georgi Dieng for a point guard before we make another move.

Dellavedova could be a great fit with Dipo and Wiggins?

Or you can have Dunn back?

'Melo will re-consider his options after free agency plays out a little bit.

We could talk something around Leuer / Delly, but I'm really most interested in Dunn (cards on table, the RI in my screen name stands for Rhode Island and I'm a Providence College grad, so I'm a big Dunn fan). If you're willing to entertain dealing him, let me see if I can get creative and find a way to make a workable offer?

Yeah, willing to move him with Baldwin and Delly on the roster. Just couldn't pass on trading for him. Would probably have to include Henson for salary matching just to be up front haha. I have sub 1 mil cap space

Hey Jay,

I'm sorry, but stuff happened fast and furiously for me last night (seriously, I think Vin Diesel was involved at one point!), and as such I'm no longer in the PG market. Sorry to leave you hanging, and please let me know if you'd like to revisit something involving Leuer or Boban (although now I'd be looking for a wing back). Thanks for understanding and good luck going forward!

No thanks. I think I get more bang for my buck out of TJ McConnell.

Posted this in the Draft Thread, but thought I'd throw it here, too. I also didn't do the "quote everybody" thing, so I hope this still catches someone's eye!

The Pistons are interested in acquiring a 2nd round pick by using some combination of Boban Marjanovic, Darrun Hilliard (non-guaranteed contract), Michael Gbinije (non-guaranteed contract), our 2018 2nd round pick, a 2019 2nd round pick (really convoluted situation, but we do have one to trade!), and cash. We're clearly not trying to "shoot the moon" here, mostly just looking for a team that has multiple 2nds this year who would consider kicking the can down the road and acquire an extra 2nd next year instead. Also willing to consider taking salary back if the fit is right and Boban's going out. Thanks in advance, I look forward to hearing any ideas!

What's your roster look like right now? Are you looking to remain competitive even after moving them?

I've got Porter as the centerpiece with guys like Gortat, Oubre, Satoransky and obviously picks available for the swap.
All depends on whether Melo is interested even.

Just touching base 'cuz I'm not sure if your needs / plans have changed due to the draft — are you still interested in a S&T for Bullock? Let me know and we'll talk when free agency opens. Thanks!

Probably not. I'm more than capped out right now.

I might still be interested in doing a S&T if you take on Quincy Pondexter or Kent Bazemore (and would compensate you for that) but that right now is highly speculative.

I'm capped out, so I don't see a way for Bazemore to work. Pondexter could be doable because I have the non-guaranteed contracts of HIlliard & Gbinije, but what's the deal with him? He hasn't played in two full years?

EDIT — Sorry, I missed the "S&T" part of your post, so you're talking for Bullock. Still a possibility, but I still need to research what's up with Q-Pon before I commit to anything.

Honestly I don't expect Pondexter to play, so basicly he's an expiring for 3.8m. I've taken him on to get a trade done and for that I got a second rounder in return. I'd probably offer the same to a team willing to take him on.
I'm just saying that if you want to renounce Bullocks rights but are holding off due to my interest, you shouldn't do that. I might still be interested but I don't have the cap space and you would have to take one of my contracts in return. And of those, only Bazemore, Pondexter, Caboclo and possibly Nogueira and Powell (though I would rather keep both than get Bullock) are expendable. I'm really tied and can not move any of the remaining players.

The Kings would possibly be interested in helping facilitate for small compensation. We could make it a little bigger if you need a shooter like Langston Galloway. We also have Arron Afflalo's contract on the books.

Any interest in trading Pondexter and 49 for Payton II who's non guaranteed?
