News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

[LoPo]

Horford and Barnes declining their options is a very clear sign to me that we shouldn't trade for Conley. He has a player option next summer. He could have a very good year with us then just bolt next summer. If he doesn't bolt, maybe he forces our hand to re-sign him to some crippling number. There are already rumors that Miami is very high on Conley. They will have a ton of space next summer and a need for a PG. I could definitely see him leaving and signing there.

Who would we rather take back, all things considered, Hayward or Love?

Milt Palacio

 

[Stoked]

Barnes is available? Brace yourselves, PG_AB is coming.

Russell will have multiple suitors, including Indiana, Dallas, Phoenix, Utah and possibly New York. Guys around the league (not just David Locke) think that Phoenix is the likely destination for D'Lo.

Source on D'Lo and Phoenix? Tony Jones and Ian Begley have both said Indy is the favorite.

How awkward for Haywad if Boston traded him back to us.

It would be even better if Utah publicly declined a trade offer where Boston offers us Hayward.

 

[framer]

This from the the Suns equivalent of Locke. . .



He kind of sucks though. . .

Why?

 

[LoPo]

Why?

We would be telling the world we don't want Hayward. I guess we could say "maybe", wait a few hours, then write a letter to the Celtics telling them how much we appreciated their offer, but we decided not to take it.

So, you’d turn your back on a player that is as good as any player we can get, who fits in perfectly with this team...

To save face? To be cool?

Nah. No thanks.

probably neither

Pacers are targeting Rubio (per The Ringer), which makes it all the more clear that we're confident we can get someone better.

Why?

Just to let Hayward know the was he did the Jazz wasn’t appreciated. He could have handled his leaving way better. He could have left his reputation and the team in a lot better situation.

I’d be disappointed if the Jazz did take him back. This is one the fan base will never forget. Sometimes you just gotta prove a point.

At $30+ million, he is not better than Joe Ingles, Donovan Mitchell or even Royce O'Neale.

I would rather trade for....

Ilyasova (pick up a 1st rounder in the process)
Josh Jackson
Meyers Leonard (probably get an asset too)
MKG (probably get an asset too)
Marvin Williams (probably get an asset too)
Some of the Miami guys (probably get an asset too)

No thanks to Hayward.

Really? Because Indy is reportedly our primary competition for Conley. That means they're bowing out of the Conley sweepstakes.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

With the #30 pick some team will take the Bucks up on that Snell deal.

I wouldn't mind if it were us, tbh
