Free Agency, Rumors, Thoughts in General 2.0

Magic did a great job today of making deals and not unnecessarily holding players in search of the best deal possible.

Rockets should take notes.

If the rumor is true of Raptors holding out for THT or Herro, I think Lakers give up Talen to get Lowry at this point. No way Miami trades Herro.

With Bjelica in tow they can afford to dump all of their filler and end up with Lowry and Dipo. I'd really like that outcome for them. Dipo is really going to be about matching salary with a small incentive.

Miami and Oladipo seem like they SHOULD absolutely be united during this trade deadline, but Evan Massey is amongst the worst of the worst of the worst of "news breakers". He even tries to be an everyday news breaker in NBA, NFL, college, etc. It should happen, but Massey has absolutely NO inside info whatsoever.

Yeah this site is pretty good with fast updates on whatever they read but I'm sure some of the sources aren't the best sometimes

A lineup of:

PG: Lowry / Nunn (Bradley or Vincent?)
Sg: Oladipo / Herro
Sf: Butler / Ariza
Pf: Aldridge / Bjelica
Cc: Bam

Could be very dangerous to a team like the Nets. They'd actually have good defensive matchups for Brooklyn's Big 3...

That's not going to beat Durant/Irving/Harden and the rest of the Nets. Miami needs a Power Forward. Bjelica and Aldridge are good backups, but the Heat should be trading for Collins instead of Lowry and Oladipo

Oh, absolutely. I follow it for quick gathering, but I absolutely have to see the link or source in it before giving it any mind, as they sometimes get an Evan Massey or other similar clout chaser. Or, they steal info from local writers and don't source it. Or, they just list something like "The New York Post", and don't list the actual reporter.

Unless you're talking about Zach Collins, you're dreaming...

By trading Rondo for Lou, the Hawks have 21 million in cap cleared for 2021/22. Snell and Lou both come off the books. I don't see Collins going anywhere and they are in a perfect position to keep him now.

I feel like this is ending on a down note. Where's the massive Lowry trade?

Bulls maybe got Theis. Which is odd for Boston
