And its possible we are in a bit of a feud with 2 major agencies.

JJ's as well...whom also represent Josh Hart who we haven't heard much about.

Looks like neither will do us any favors.

Look at how Lonzo pushed his way out pretty hard and Bledsoe sabotaged the team. It feels like we are in a quiet blood feud with Klutch. I'm sure that's not helping. I wonder if Moses Moody signing with Klutch gave the Pels one more reason to trade back.

I don't think so, unless it is with ownership. Griffin and Paul have a good relationship. I think that is just Pels fans scarred from the AD debacle.

So who is desperate enough to take on Kevin Love right now


Would depend on what we got to take him on (i.e. multiple 1sts or Sexton?).

At this point, we probably have to send them 5 firsts

All the doom and gloom about swing and missing but I still don't hate this team and the flexibility it has.

So if they don't pull off a trade - they royally screwed themselves this offseason.


I mean we'd all love to add one more piece but royally screwed? This team is better now than it was. How did they royally screw themselves?

depending on what Griffin can do with the MEM trade, we may not have flexibility

We're certainly not getting any of John Koktostin's clients going forward.

I think at this point we are going to basically run it back with what we have. Even if we had gotten a Kyle Lowry, he might have 1 maybe 2 decent seasons left in him. We massively overpay him, hamstringing our development and probably still don’t advance far into the playoffs with how stacked the West is.

Now I do think they will use the exceptions and room created from these trades to bring in someone like Hield, Bogi, Ingles and use the exception on another front court player. So the roster might be competitive, but we will only go as far as Zion and Ingram will take us.

And despite what everyone in the media wants to say about Zion, he is not the superstar to carry a team yet.

That "site" is funny sometimes. They have 4,000 followers and try to "predict" a salary. They have Ish Smith worth about $11 million, Patty Mills at about $19 million, Bobby Brown at $16 million. Not sure how they get their numbers. Some seem to make sense and others are way out in left field.

11 mil for Ish Smith seems too low imo. Top 5 PG in Pels history.

Something may be moving with Beal. Both he and his wife with the eyes on Twitter like somethings up.

It’s probably that they are finalizing a Dinwiddie deal

Oladipo back to Miami. I bet it’s a minimum or not far off. 1 year deal.

He's getting traded. There's no reason for the Wizard to not start the rebuild. He isn't resigning there after this year, and they know that.

Even if we got Beal this place would find a reason to melt.

It doesn’t sound like that’s the plan for Wash at all. But I guess we will see.
