They still haven't completed Baynes trade so something is being explored. Not that anything will come off it.

If Yabu gets pulled from the summer league it could mean something is up.

Previously reported separate trades are getting folded into one. Some trade orgies going on. Hoping ours do too.

Could you please remind me what would be the most suitable order for us?

25 year old Ryan Anderson would be nice.
30 year old Ryan Anderson not so much

Just guessing here.
1. Trade or FA signing using cap space. Yabu may or may not be involved.
2. Then Kemba trade. Possibly a three-way between Phoenix, Charlotte, and Boston.
3. Rest of signings.

The simplest would be...
1. Trade between Phoenix and Boston involving Baynes.
2. Trade between Charlotte and Boston involving Kemba and Rozier. We absorb Kemba into cap space.
3. Rest of signings.

Could be awhile. Ainge still working on a 6 team sign and trade

Glad to see Kawhi end up in LAC. That's a very good LAC team, but not as good as KD's GSW teams. The League is very competitive now, and Ainge needs to make a big move.

One can only hope. 'Cos if they're going out of their way to make it that complicated, the return must be worth it.

Maybe we can target Westbrook and Adams if OKC is blowing it up
This trade works in trade machine;

Westbrook and Adams for Hayward Smart Yabu, Romeo and add picks if needed, idk if it Russ can play the 2 but you’d have

Kemba/Wannamaker/Waters
Westbrook/Edwards
Brown/Semi
Tatum/williams/Theis
Adams/Kanter/Williams

Westbrook contract is scary as heck! The team would be really good if it could gel though.

What big move though? There's nothing out there to be had. I would be ok with a 'medium' move to upgrade the PF spot. We need to be looking for opportunities to get a steal..our guys dropped too low in value after that ridiculous season. It's time to build it back up with a successful showing. If that happens we should be huge players at the deadline.

Westbrook is a great passer, rebounder, gets to the paint easily and can create fouls easily. Only problem I have with him is he’s a poor shooter and at times can play selfish although he did do a better job this past season in taking a backseat to Paul George.

Westbrook is a loser making $40m for the next 4 years. Yeah, I'll pass.

Like Kyrie, Westbrook wont get a long with Stevens i think. Westbrook isn't a team oriented player.. Dude snatches boards from his teammates while he has to focus on something else. It's all about the tripple doubles and game winning shots. A big pass on this ballhog for me.
