News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

[Stoked]

So Houston is apparently actively shopping Chris Paul and isn't getting traction...

Not that it all matters right now, but they announced the cast for Space Jam 2. Expect some major bad acting from these nba players, especially AD and Klay Thompson.

It's possible.

Can the Jazz just take on Snell though w/o sending back salary? I'm always confused on this.

Only if they waive Favors. They can’t do **** on the market without waiving Favors.

Update (Wednesday, 6 PM ET): Throughout the middle portion of the draft, more intel is coming in on which teams are targeting who, and it’s created a pretty substantial shift in the mock from slots 10 to 44. Additionally, trades involving the No. 23 pick for Mike Conley and the No. 44 pick going to Miami have shaken up the order already. Expect more of that in the coming 24 hours prior to the draft, as it seems more than half of the picks are in some way shape or form on the market.

Detroit is taking Tony Snell's contract along with the #30 pick from Milwaukee. Detroit is sending back Jon Leuer to the Bucks. So now Detroit has #15 and 30.

Very smart trade for Detroit. They need wings and don't spend that much more for next season.

Bucks save a bunch of 2020-21 money if you consider the tax implications.

This is what Utah needs to try to do...

Lindsey traded all his future seconds to Cleveland for Korver and Crowder.

I think we’ll take a half season to see how Favors looks in the Conley offense. Maybe the spacing improvements overall makes the matchups better. Who knows, but I do really like Favors. So sure, give him an audition to be on the final version of this team.

But if it’s still not quite clicking: at the trade deadline you have his juicy expiring. Him and Exum for a healthy and looking good Kevin Love? I could see a move like that.

We actually have the normal amount of 2nd rounders. We lack our 2020 2nd but we have San Antonio's 2022 2nd.

No thanks, Favors is better than Love.

This I agree with. Although not for Love.
