Yeah, we won’t hear about the cap space clearing trades until Russell commits. Lots of things that need to happen before than, including Kyrie committing to the Nets and the Nets following through with their renouncement I’d Russell or at least formal agreement on a sign and trade.

Maybe, maybe not. All depends on what Rosas has lined up and if Russell wants to take meetings with other teams

The main thing is that the 1st 2 requirements are all but put on paper. Irving is going to the nets making them willing to negotiate a s&t and Russell is obviously interested in coming here since we are his first meeting. Last stone that has to fall is Rosas clearing the space.

I did hear something about Russell could get more in a shoe contract if he was playing for the Lakers. Taxes really suck in both states, but I think are worse in California.

There should be a trade already. Its been so quiet on our side. All i hear is Lakers and Suns

We're officially the first team he is visiting with. I think the Buzz about us is at least as strong Suns. Anything remotely associated with the Lakers of course will get lots of buzz just because of LA.

I don't think that I'm worried about the Sun's since he should be their top priority and they have $27m to sign him outright but he's still meeting with us first

And if he didn't have something worked out to clear the space Russell wouldn't be meeting with us. Rosas reputation is on the line. If he is making promises and can't deliver that will hurt him and us down the road.

I actually think we got a S&T lined up with the Nets and a 3rd team to take Teague plus another asset once Irving officially accepts their offer at 6.01pm and once Russell says yes to the Twolves at 6.02pm after seeing Irving is now with the Nets.

I believe this sucker goes down fast.

Russell and Booker are probably Towns two best buddies in the league. I wonder if Russell has any kind of relationship with Booger?

I wouldn't doubt it either

I'm honestly more worried about the cap space move than this bloated ass contract.

I think we’re good there because Russell met with us.

1. Nets need to have a second max player they like more than Russell.

2. Russell has to want to come here.

My concerns.

Uh Oh Wolves have a plan B and guess who it is.

The Minnesota Timberwolves enter free agency with interest in bringing back Ricky Rubio.
While the Wolves are prioritizing D'Angelo Russell, their Plan B at point guard is Rubio.
Rubio, however, has been strongly linked with the Indiana Pacers.

This one I do not buy. For one reason, shooting. Back up plan should be Jrue Holiday.
