Arison so loyal to his Dukie Winslow. Winslow better repay the loyalty this year.

Arison and Riley must know something about Winslow that they are not telling us.

Tj looks good now, but when that money kicks in, whoosh.
Especially after we spend all of our cap space this year. His salary is all luxury tax next year. I say he's traded soon. I wonder if Brooklyn is willing to give up a late first for him.

Re: Offseason/Trades/FA Thread: Free Willy 2.0
I wouldn't trade Winslow either knowing that there is a ZERO % chance that PG resigns. That would be a CLE, SAC, NYK type move...
All that being said, IND is going to have to settle on something because there is no way PG plays out his contract there. He would get booed every night...

Micky's dog is named Duke. Get ready for Kennard if he's there at 14.

"When you’re picking 10 but you don’t think this kid is even going to be close to you isn’t going to drop to you and he drops down, you get some palpitations. Micky [Arison] and Nick [Arison] started singing the Duke fight song, whatever it is…

I don't believe that George is a guaranteed laker next year.

Arison knows how to negotiate. And maybe, just maybe, Paul George is not the only trade going on.

Re: Offseason/Trades/FA Thread: Free Willy 2.0
I believe we are being very active, this off-season has the potential to establish the NBA landscape for the next 3-4 years. There will be a lot of player movements happening, it could be on of the biggest draft + off-season in recent memory. Tighten your seatbelt and hop on twitter refresh button, you should experience a lot of turbulence.

I doubt it, Pretty sure Donovan Mitchell is our number one priority right now.

Because the very reason the Heat could potential get Paul George is because they may be willing to give up actual assets for a rental whereas other teams won't be. The cost for George would be far lower than Butler since he isn't a rental.
Heat don't have assets to compete for Butler when teams like Boston and Minnesota are involved.
When is Butler's contract renewal due, maybe he can force himself to miami if we recruit him well ?

Paul George - G/F - Pacers
The Lakers and Pacers have reportedly engaged in preliminary talks regarding a Paul George deal.
Reports around the league indicate that the Lakers are unwilling to part ways with the No. 2 pick in the 2017 NBA draft for PG-13, but they are reportedly willing to offer a package that would include the likes of Jordan Clarkson, Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick. The Lakers will likely be coming in with low-ball offers given that George has made it known that his desire would be to sign with Los Angeles as an unrestricted free agent in 2018, but there is reportedly some fear amongst the Laker execs that his attitude towards Los Angeles could shift if he's traded to a winning team this summer. In addition to the Lakers, the Cavs, Wizards, Rockets and Clippers have reached out to the Pacers regarding a Paul George deal.

Anything is possible especially when we see what Riley is capable of when you get in a room with him for only an hour. Imagine what he could do with a whole season...

Randle, Clarkson, and the Houston pick seems fair enough considering the circumstances.
