We Hornets fans are not acclimated to this level of league wide relevancy.

Bucks trying to fill out the roster, it seems. They will now have two bench players after the draft.

I think GSW might have some trades in line for 2 to go down in the lottery if Wiseman isnt available

27. Robert Woodard
38. Udoka Azubuike

Azubuike reminds me of Montrez Harrell. Watched them in college said 'man this dude is a beast'--looked at draft boards that projected both in the 2nd round for some reason---fast forward a few years later and Harrell is a really good NBA player.

Same will happen with Azubuike.

How much is the Blazers's TPE? Spotrac and tradenba.com both have it at $7.07mil, which makes it slightly less than Bjelica's $7.15 million salary this year. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/portland-trail-blazers/cap/

On the other hand there are reports that the TPE is $7.2 million. https://www.blazersland.com/1825-2/

Is there any way to know definitively?

Either way, the Blazers can fit Ilyasova who makes exactly $7 million, and the Kings might be willing to send the Blazers a small asset to take that contract. I think Illy makes a fine back-up 4, although Bjelica is definitely preferable.

You can do TPE + 100k, by trade rules, so it should be okay either way.

That said, I always like: http://www.basketballinsiders.com/portland-trail-blazers-team-salary/

Not trying to irk anyone here, but I was toying with something like this:

Bjelica, Holmes, Jabari for Collins, Little, Simons (Jabari into the TPE)

Dame/CJ
CJ/Trent Jr
RoCo/Jabari/Mario
Bjelica/Melo/Gabriel
Nurk/Holmes/Swanigan

They actually managed to get live footage of the Orlando FO deliberating on the decision.

If the Hawks stand pat it will be the first time since 2017 with John Collins at 19. But the chatter is they are not getting any significant offers right now.

I woudlve thought that trading Bogs that cheap was to actually play Buddy Hield and convince him to stay. If youre turning around and trading him, makes the Bogs trade even more of a head scratcher

I think the Kings see the writing here. They aren't contending for a playoff spot with the way the West has tooled up. Strip it down and build around Fox/Bagley.

If they send Buddy to Dallas they will not be making the West any easier.

I feel like this clip is the official clip of the TTB, when it comes to prospects and picks for veterans. Runs through my mind constantly
