I’ve always liked Ariza and wanted him for our 2014-15 team but he showed that he is done as a player in the playoffs. He will not be a Rocket next season....book it.

1. I wonder who they're after.
2. For #10, #26 and Markelle Fultz...we can definitely talk.

Re: Around The League News And Rumors (Non-Hawks)
I gotta re-iterate, Andrew Wiggins is a flawed player. But he's far too young and too talented to write off.
I'd strongly consider swapping bad contracts Plumlee and Schroeder for Wiggins and go from there.

Sporting NewsWiggins didn’t get better. He regressed. He gave up shot attempts to Butler, but his efficiency dropped, his true shooting percentage going from 54.3 down to 50.5. His player efficiency rating dropped from 16.5 to 13.0. Because 15.0 is considered average, the Wolves last year were giving a max salary to an offensively below-average wing.
Sources familiar with the situation told Sporting News that Butler is uncertain about playing with Wiggins — Butler had problems last season with Wiggins, his work ethic and his approach on the defensive end of the floor. Thibodeau has had similar problems with Wiggins in the past, too, and he had some hope that bringing a tough-minded veteran like Butler into the locker room would spur Wiggins to improve. It didn’t.
Ideally, the Wolves would find a deal to send Wiggins out of town. But his new five-year contract is just kicking in, making a trade almost impossible, unless Minnesota finds a team with cap space willing to absorb Wiggins, or takes back a contract at least as hefty. And there are few of those floating about.

Yes.
I believe Fultz + Mikal Bridges + Josh Okogie are MUCH greater than just Jaren Jackson, Jr.

This DUDE DESERVES TO AT LEAST BE SOME TEAM'S #3 center next season.
Seeing the team success of Aron Baynes, Tristan Thompson and Zaza Pachulia, I have to think he could at least rebound, block shots and guard post scorers 10-12 minutes a night.

Gay is likely hoping for a multi year deal, considering his injury history.
Jamal...IDK what he's doing. Likely banking on some team's MLE offer to exceed what he was making in Minny.

I think Jamaal will be ring chasing, waiting for the dust to settle rhen join a contender.
With Rudy, I'm not sure he'll secure more than a 1 ywar deal. Teams will be trying to have capspace for next offseason.

Ole Crawesome just saw Nick Young win a ring...... He wants one too.
I see Gay ending up on the Knicks for some reason.

I think we're seeing the end of the Spurs being an elite team. I think Gay wants out because he knows Kawhi, and their championship hopes, are leaving.

Actually that’s a perfect fit for the Grizz...Conley and Derozen backcourt with Gasol in the middle might land them a top 4 seed and Homecourt in the west and that’s saying a lot because teams are loaded. That team could win a ring though no joke.

Golden State for the minimum would be a nice addition.

I told a friend that's a Spurs fan that they had a nice run. Times have changed quickly for them.
