Maybe, just maybe, some gm has taken note of Dennis the last couple of games.

Can't trade him now when he's back to being the best guard on the roster.

That was a typo. I meant that he needs a max contract.

Yes. Prince is on the block. I just don't think he fits their ideal roster. I don't think they are in a hurry to move him. They could probably get a first, or at least some high seconds for him if they wait till the draft to deal him.

I heard Philly might move Fultz for him. What asset are you giving up?

I don't know if Fultz is any good but he's worth the magic taking a chance on. If they can get him for Terrance Ross, that's probably a good deal for both teams and we'll just have to look elsewhere.

Man with Clippers giving up on the season, it would be f' huge if Presti could somehow land us Louis Williams. Abrines, Paterson, Diallo, bunch of 2nd's, cash, whatever. Just get it done!!

No way. Clippers plan is to sign 2 stars this offseason and they will need Lou Williams on his cheap contract.

This. If the Clippers can off load Dino Gallinari they get 2 max spots. The plan is to keep Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell play them on the 2nd unit and let them finish games with 2 max stars next year.

Avery Bradley could be had for peanuts. They plan to cut him in the off-season and it will cost them $2 million.

Patterson and Abrines work for Bradley, but the Thunder would have to re-rout Patterson elsewhere because the Clips cant take next year money on. If you can help the Clips move Gallo they might just give you Bradley.

Wouldn't do that. We don't need Bradley and we don't have any back up PF. 2pat is not great but he's doing better lately.

Feel like the 2 biggest trades of the deadline are done (maybe still Gasol/Conley or AD if the Pelicans decides to let it go). Tons of expiring to get though :(

That's fine. I am just pointing out a option where we can get someone for cheaper than usual since it is helping the Clippers get something they want. I think if the Thunder make a move where 2Pat and Abrines go somewhere for a wing they can get a stretch 4 from the buy out market.

Tatum deleted his whole Celtics bio, left only Duke ones. Coincidence ?

They can't trade for Davis unless the deal Irving right now.

This is correct, unless they trade Kyrie for him.

Seriously though: With Presti's recent track record, this kind of play is probably just strengthening his resolve to hold onto Schröder. Sunk cost and whatnot. He wants to get something out of his investments.

Why do guys think they have to update their social media before a trade is complete?

Second plus diallo? Svi has had some moments that make him more than a throw in.

My guess is that it's more of a statement saying 'if you don't value me then I'm not repping you.'
