News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

[Jingled]

Demand all you want, my friend.

Yeah, I'm not sure who's going to take that contract.

I can't imagine a player would be happy to hear CP3 has been traded to your team. Except for probably Lebron who seems to be the only dude left in the NBA that likes him.

Not sure why this made me laugh so hard, but now my boss is staring at me and wondering why I'm on my phone in the meeting and I'm trying to sell him on the work slides being on my phone. he's not buying it.

So, Lindsey telling him he wasn’t a max player was respectful?

When he asked for a trade to Boston the summer before he’s a FA and was told no, that was respectful?

Getting booed when he was drafted was respectful?

What has Utah/Utah fans done to earn his respect?

Good lord.

Holy ****, this is a heaping shovel full of revisionist rat ****.

Lol. They looked after his family when he was on road trips, sought his input on trades, helped him develop into an all star, fans Cheered wildly for him for several seasons...

But you’re right. This org and fan base hasn’t ever done anything for him. Lmfao. Stop trying to spin the convos between FO and management to fit your narrative.

And none of that lessens the notion that he should have been up front with the .org and go on his way.

I think the article linked to the Chris Paul tweet should be required reading. @Stoked would love it.

[Getting Traded]

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.

I think Hayward would nix a trade back to us. His wife would have a fit; they would probably get a divorce if it happened.

He doesn’t have a no-trade clause and Ainge DGAF.

The Lakers should trade for Paul -- they could simply use draft picks. They have the money to absorb the cap and I think Paul would gladly play facilitator to LBJ and AD. Just my thought. I don't know their draft pick situation.

Probably be a good thing for Haywood. She isn't getting any younger.
