It's terrible that they've basically said "Well we're gonna suck for 2-3 more years"

They're not even trying to win.

Have we talked about Wiggins being signed yet?

I don't know how significant it is in the grand scheme of things, but the Cavs now can't deal him for 30 days.

If I'm Golden State, I'm calling the Wolves and telling them they can have Klay Thompson now.

Supposedly one of the 3 players the Cavs got from Utah can't be traded for 2 months. The Love deal will happen but it will be a couple months it seems. They needed to sign wiggins to trade for cap purposes anyways from what I understand.

Looks like a three way deal may be on table. Love to Cavs. Wiggins and Thad Young to Wolves. Not sure what Philly gets.



I know Philly is trying to tank, but why the frick would they do this?

No clue why philly would do that. But I know Thad will want 10plus mil a year to stay. They may be trying to dump him although they so want him to be the veteran on the team.

Much like Bledsoe, Monroe finds himself without a market. Sources close to the process say there continues to be ongoing dialogue with the Pistons and that they do want to ink Monroe to a new deal. The problem for the Pistons is that Monroe and his camp are not overly thrilled with the idea of signing a long-term deal at what they perceive to be less than market valuation. Basketball Insiders


Nothing new on the Greg Monroe front...

Looks like things didn't turn out the way he (or his agent) wanted...

Yup... he's got to know he's not a max player. By his camp putting it out there, it's going to scare some suitors off and why would the Pistons bid against themselves. If I were him, I'd approach the Pistons about a deal similar to Chandler Parsons. If he proves he can be a franchise player, then offer him a max deal. Honestly I don't think he's even worth 15 million a year right now... more in the 12-13 range. So that would be an excellent deal for him.

LAS VEGAS – Things aren’t looking good when it comes to negotiations between the Phoenix Suns and their restricted free agent star guard Eric Bledsoe.

According to league sources, an “ominous development” has arisen with sides still “very far apart” in contract negotiations. It has even escalated to the point where the “relationship is on the express lane to being ruined,” a source with knowledge of the situation informed CSNNW.com.

The Suns offered Bledsoe a four-year, $48 million deal with declining salaries each year, two sources said. That proposal was quickly turned down. Bledsoe’s camp is putting a max price tag on the player Suns Head Coach Jeff Hornacek called “a Top-10 player in the NBA in coming years”, another source said.

Phoenix has made it known publicly and repeatedly that they intend to match any offer sheets competitors issue out to Bledsoe. This tactic has succeeded in scaring away any potential suitors so far. However, the effort by the Suns to undermine Bledsoe’s market is what has angered Bledsoe and his reps and led to a standoff in which the relationship is now on the verge of being irreparable, we’re told.

Other teams that are/were in the process of dealing with their own restricted free agents (Utah, Detroit, Houston) chose not to use the public scare tactics this summer, another factor that has Bledsoe feeling chilly at the thought of a return to the desert, a source said.

Bledsoe, 24, just came off of a breakout season after being traded to the Suns as he posted numbers of 17.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game. The athletic guard, considered by some to be one of the most dominant defensive guards in the NBA, has kept quiet for the most part during this free agency period though recently he voiced his displeasure with how the Suns are attacking his restricted free agency.

Only time will tell what transpires from here, but as of now, it is at an increasingly ugly stage.


Really curious where he lands

More mixed stories regarding Greg Monroe

Woj is reporting that Monroe wants to leave Detroit

quote:

Detroit has tried to help [Monroe] with some sign and trade possibilities around the league. Monroe doesn’t really have a great interest in going back and playing with the Pistons.


quote:

They’ve talked with Atlanta, I believe they talked with Phoenix for a while. Portland had some interest early on, but those teams moved on. They could have signed Monroe to an offer sheet but Detroit would have likely matched it.


Then...Andre Drummond says the he talks to Monroe all of the time, saying he loves Detroit and expects him back

quote:

Drummond said Thursday that he is pretty certain that Monroe’s contract impasse will be resolved and Monroe will be wearing a Pistons uniform next season. “Greg knows what it is,” Drummond said at the Mendenhall Center on the UNLV campus. “I’ve told him multiple times that he needs to come on home. “I need him there, and all the guys would love to have him back as well. At the end of the day, he’s got to do what’s best for him and his family. “I still have high hopes, and I’m pretty sure he is coming home, so I’m excited for this season.”



Who knows at this point.
