Read on Twitter


MCW was/is probably on the list of point guards we are interesting in signing.

Post your guess - do we lock up a commitment tonight?

My guess is no.

Bold prediction. We are able to make a run at Shaun Livingston.

Bold prediction: (that's totally wrong)

Hornets are mystery team for Hayward.
We have been linked to him before. The mystery team report of from Zachary Lowe who has had multiple hornet scoops and we have made multiple trades with Utah in the past. That's my prediction even tho I'm pretty sure adding have the money

I also thought about this. However, I can't see a S&T which could bring us Hayward (MKG+Lamb and a first round?). I think that our signing will be Shelvin Mack, unless we can bring Patrick Beverley (And I can't see us trading a future first round)

Same here dude, two kids and a full-time job takes everything I have. Once about 11:30 hits I have nothing left.

That said I'd be really surprised if we sign anyone tonight, so I doubt you'll will be missing anything.

Luckily the Braves are on a West Coast road trip so I'll be up.

There's really no reason to trade a pick for Hayward being that he's a FA. If Utah doesn't want to S&T then we could make room by trading players elsewhere.

A dark horse guy I wouldn't be shocked to see us go after is Rondo.

My dream scenario is we do a bunch of trades because I got high on the Dwight trade. It's cool if we don't actually get any better as long as we don't get worse.

Woj is gonna show how much he owns the NBA when he starts dishing out everything that is going on that no one else has mentioned.

FA crop of PGs for the money we have look mostly like trash. I'd rather us go after a wing like Tucker with the MLE, then try and get Raymond cheap maybe on the BAE.

That would leave us with the option to still use MKG as trade bait without killing our wing defense, depth and hedge a bit against his injury history.

Rondo sure would make things interesting and I kind of want it to happen just for the hell of it, but I don't think Id ever actually pull that trigger.

I think Philly has released Gerald Henderson. I wonder how much a veteran contract like his would be.
