And Cade Cunningham might have a higher ceiling than SGA. Plus you have to pay SGA as his rookie deal is almost done with

Well, as a swap for Beverley, yes. I agree about his shooting issues, he's not a good shooter in general, but he doesn't make much more than him. It's the extra year that might be of concern.

For sure, I can agree about Cunningham having the potential to be better, I get it, but SGA is a bird in the hand for them in terms of star production.

FWIW, the last year of Bledsoe's contract is only guaranteed for $3.9M.

Not sure money really matters to Ballmer but this gives you an idea how much money he’ll have to spend if they’re wanting a second round pick.

It’s starting.

Shamet to Phoenix.

Looks like Westbrook or Hield to Lakers. Shams and Woj contradicting each other.

Woj reporting it now a nearly done.

All the trades going down today

I know some here liked Rubio but he’s headed to Cleveland.

With Westbrook going to the Lakers, Paul is definitely staying with Suns now, especially after making the Finals and getting revenge on Clippers.

This pretty much means Clippers will have no news except for Leonard free agency and re-signing all their free agents.

My prediction: Same roster as last year except for expired contracts (peg on them being retained), 25th pick will be used instead of traded

Still surprised how quiet it is around the league. Only trade is Plumlee to Charlotte.

Only rumor I’ve seen the Clippers involved in is that there one of the teams interested in Rozier.

Official.

Jesus, the Kings drafted Davion Mitchell. They have to be moving a guard or two; they have to be. Go after Delon Wright already!

Just don’t take Garuba

I actually feel pretty good about this pick. I'll gladly take my chances with a high-upside athletic wing who can defend over the craptastic big men or Jerome Robinson types we usually draft.

Traded with Knicks and selecting Keon Johnson at 21.

I could live with this.

Still want to see us land Petrusev and Kyree

Models his game after Kawhi.

Not mad at this pick at all. Had my heart on McBride or Ayo though.

Wonder if they do anything else tonight.

I REALLY wanted Ayo, made it clear, but I also thought Keon was not a realistic target and would be gone from 13-18.

If we can polish this off with Petrusev and Kyree, I will go to sleep happy.

Lot of guys falling to the second round or near it the clippers need to get back in

I didn’t think Keon was realistic either. It’s a welcomed surprise.

The more I learn about Walker the more I hope we can snag him too.
