If the Rockets are trying to recruit Looney, then I guess Capella really is out the door.

Twitter seems to be going with Harris resigning in Philly, Butler leaves, and Al signs for 4 years. Granted these are just randoms tweeting, but that would be scary for us.

Al is losing all that good will going to the Sixers

Won't be thrilled. But as long as it's not the Lakers I'm fine with wherever makes him happiest. Lakers on the other hand? They're the enemy. Hopefully Romeo remembers that if LeJuliet James ever comes calling.

Regardless of durant or not, or losing Dlo, this move is enormous. kyrie gives us a 50 win floor and a huge ceiling. and with a chip on his should a 28/8/4 type season/hard like reckoning is not out of the question.

I had hoped for a Dlo/Kyrie back court but looks like marks has other plans. glad it seems like they will do Dlo a solid and help him get to the suns or wolves to play with his bff.

Kyrie | Levert | Harris | Harris | Allen with a loaded bench would be a dream.

People forget how good kyrie is because of the smear campaign in boston who always trash guys on the way out including rondo and ray allen who won them a title.

Come on, everyone, show how great you are at predicting and thinking and everything and name one team that is trading for A Wiggins.

Report: Minnesota confident it can trade Andrew Wiggins to create cap space

That will be the shock of free agency.

Pacers? No.

Hawks? No.

Mavs? No.

Hayward + Yabs for Wiggins + KAT?

Very good, and scary.

To free up some money, Hayward and Yabu for Wiggins and Dieng.

Yes, the Celtics could be that silly, if the impossible-to-turn-down lure of future firsts was added.

For signing D Russell, the above move does get the T-Wolves a bit closer, getting out of around $8million.

Then T-Wolves pay the Cavs for JR Smith. Still not enough for the super crazy big D Russell contract, but close.

All the above is not happening.

The question is still, how does Minnesota think it cane remove Wiggins to clear money for free agent D Russell?

Wiggins for Courtney Lee package?

Wiggins for Atlanta Plumlee?

The Hawks have $125million to spend a year from now. They take Wiggins, and picks, and still have expiring E Turner, Crabbe, S Hill.

The Hawks did take Carmelo, but that wasn't for five years.

Andrew Wiggins, the big news of NBA transaction season. Putting Canadian basketball on the map for the first time since the Celtics made a trade in 2013.

Toronto maybe? If Kawhi leaves them.

Rumors that Bojanovic has serious interest from Jazz. Didnt realize they even had enough money. He's likely gonna command 15-20 mil a year. If they add him that's a solid team forming. Conly, Mitchell, Bojanovic, Ingles and Gobert is a solid core

Hes one of the weirder cats on this forum. Cant wait for him to realize Kyrie is a bi polar illimunati wizard of the light. Hes trashing the Cs every time he gets the opportunity and the funny part is that he fails to realize the guy he named himself after is the person to blame for Nets misfortunes.

He imagines that starting 5 in an epic finals with Lakers.

He is correct though in that getting Kyrie for nothing is a huge coup for that team. Regardless of what Kyrie did to deflate a 3 year building narrative here in Boston...he is still a monster talent.

Hoping the clippers sign leonard. They can get two max players. They have pieces already in place. If they get him i would favor them on the fakers and whoever out in the west next season.

Yeah I think that's our hope now.

Goto the Clippers Kawhi. idk who else you could bring with you at this point as free agency is already drying up but **** it. Go Clips, destroy LeBron and AD.

East will be the kids table of the NBA again.

But that's on Kawhi and AD for being CA cowards.

The most logical guy would be butler.

Since Lakers are chasing after a third max guy and won't have anything but the room exception and veteran's minimum to offer FAs, I think their main pitch would be a cameo in Space Jam 2.

If Yabusele gets traded and Ojeleye gets waived/traded, Powell would be the lone guy/asset that will be retained from the 2014 Rondo trade.

So like, can anyone tell me why the Kings dumped all that money on Barnes?

Is this guy really the new Jeff Green?

I can see a lot of reasons not to, but we don't have to root against the Kings and they're a young and upcoming team after 10 years in the lottery. I'd really like to learn some POSITIVES to this deal for them.

I want to support them and not feel like this is a disastrous signing.
