re: What leaks do you think we hear today?

You do that in a heartbeat IMO, but you obviously shoot for a combo of both Kuzma and future picks.

But if they are giving up 3 future unprotecteds...yeah.

I guess it just depends on how true the reports that Kuzma is really the hold up are.

Do you not see that the #4 is a secured asset while landing a big free agent is not guaranteed? Why do you think Griffin is trying to get an All Star caliber player in a trade using #4?

I am sure he would not take a deal with Atlanta if he could get an All-Star with it. I would not think he would even consider this unless that fails. If he has to take the #4, the #8 is not really a huge fall. IF Atlanta comes up to take Reddish as rumored. That leaves, Culver, Hunter, Garland and White for the 5-8 spots. Is there really a ton of difference in those players that makes 4 that much more valuable than 8?

When did he make a deal with Atlanta? And do you know what pieces are on the table? You are making assumptions here.

Lakers aren't going to give up 4 first rounders unprotected and Ingram and Ball and hart. There's just no way they go for that

Baws I aint gonna lie, im tired of this shite now and ready for it to be over. I cant get any work done and my F5 finger needs some ice :(

Where in the hell did I say he made a deal with Atlanta? Are you lost? Everything we have been talking about for the last 5 months in regards to this trade has
been assumptions.

I mean...yeah. I don't think anyone should expect to get 6 first round picks out of this deal though.

---

No, not realistic. My hope is we come full circle and Ainge just steps up and closes the deal with Tatum, Smart, Williams, #14 and Memphis pick.

Would they give Aaron Holiday and Turner for pick 4, or would Lonzo need to be in this as well


I wish we could get Bogdanovic in free agency and Turner in a trade, but still get Lonzo in a deal

Lonzo/Jrue/Bogdanovic/Zion/Turner. That’s a fun team.

You're wasting your time today. I am pretty convinced there is no chance it'll happen today.

Sometime around 3-5 Central you will see a fresh batch of rumors just in time for the leadup to Game 6, to get attention and buzz going again.

Then sometime Friday-Monday you will see the trade go down.

Fletcher Mackel - @FletcherWDSU: NBA source tells me the “All-Star player” being referenced when talking about Anthony Davis/Lakers scenarios and using the #4 pick to get NOLA a veteran is Bradley Beal.
Pelicans want him in 3-team deal with LA.
@FearTheBrown was first to report Beal as Pels target.

Fletcher coming in a week later...
