Seems like 76ers are putting their hopes on Paul George or Lebby J choosing to sign and play in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania over Los Angeles. And assuming Siakam stays with Pacers... they may be left scrambling to fill that cap space with role players or trading for an overpriced damaged star: Lavine...

With the Lakers' pick, but that pick will likely be deferred to next year's draft. So Pels will probably only pick in the 20s with their own or the Bucks'pick swap....

Yes, Mavs gave that future swap to get that 1st because they'd spent so many firsts and swaps on marginal upgrades over the years. I would've have liked Gafford, too. But it's not some no-brainer missed opportunity. Presti GM of OKC is considered a really smart GM. They have a need at Center for...

Another option to fill the starting Center role this offseason-- let JV walk and sign a free agent with the MLE. Full MLE is around 12.5, Pels would be 20m under the tax without Naji. Interesting potential options: Goga Bitadze and Isaiah Hartenstein. Heck, Drummond wouldn't even be that big of ...

Yes, they just proved they can beat a WCF team, let's go for it this year while still staying under the tax. With no real Center upgrades available now (Turner, Allen, WCJ, Okongwu off the board)-- go make the good, pick-based offer to get Caruso and Drummond. JV, Naji, (EJ), 2 lightly protected ...

Jazz make sense as an Ingram team. He can do the point-forward role there, Lauri is a great off-ball star....

I wonder what Jazz/Ainge (and Pels/Griff) would say to a Daniels for Walker Kessler based trade. JV could be included or go out to a 3rd team....

That opinion is coming from your small, fan-biased brain. If you were a fan of another team, which good players and picks would you trade for Ingram on the verge of demanding a super-max-ish deal? It's moot point, though. Because we know David Griffin won't trade Ingram or any of the big names s...

We know Griffin probably won't trade him, but I have Nets circled as a team that could be interested and give up enough. Nets don't have their own picks so they can't tank, Bridges and Ingram bonded on team USA this summer, and they need a top scorer. Some combination of DFS, Claxton, CamT, O...

Ok, now imagine you are a Nets fan. Why would you want to accept that trade of "Kira and probably a heavy protected firsts" for your good, young player? They could take a better trade offer from another team or just wait til the offseason to re-sign him or find a sign-and-trade....
