News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

[mellow]

Thats odd. I thought Golden St would understand late 1st and 2nd round picks are basically worthless to contenders like the Jazz and Warriors.

I wonder if DL has a deal in place if their guy falls.

Baynes is a solid backup center... those cost less than 5M... DL do you hear me a backup center is really cheap... maybe we send Favs, they send Baynes and the 22. We both end up having a little space to shop and fill needs. They need a starter we need a backup.

Where you at DL?

I'm going to be optimistic here and say that #41 is lower than where the Jazz want to move up to. However, Atlanta has now given away 2 of their 3 2nd-round picks. Not sure if they'll give away their last one at 35.

This would make sense. To be honest, I thought this was the case weeks ago, which is why the Jazz were bringing in players to work out who were slated for the 30s and 40s. Guys like Adrian Schofield, Terence Davis, Iggy Brazdeikis, Louis King, etc. were never prospects for #23, and they weren't going to be on the board at #53 either.

How can you do my man like that!

The Ringer, listing his pluses:
Let’s be honest here: Admiral Schofield is an all-time great name.

Not as good as Frankie Ferrari, so read into that what you will.

I'm kind of partial to Admiral Schofield myself. Frankie Ferrari sounds like hitman for the Gambino Family.

Not sure how desperate OKC is to offload Roberson... but if they said #21 and Roberson for capspace are we in? 10M a year, coming off an injury, lockdown defender, big guy so he can guard Lebron types... ****** shooter, but good rebounder... play him at the four and have him take the toughest perimeter guy... switch 1-4... Idk.

Does NOT fill gaps on our team weaknesses we are trying to address.

He's a world class defender on the perimeter... we don't have that... but I just looked up his shooting numbers and didn't realize just how bad he was. I will pass on the deal I suggested and sink into the bushes.

I would love to turn Favors' money into 3 contributors.

Favors $17.7

OR

Ilyasova ($7 million) and a way in the future protected 1st for a future protected 2nd

Baynes ($5.45) and #20 for a future protected 2nd

Nkliltina ($4.86) for a 2nd or two


Bucks are trying to shed contracts. Boston is trying to shed Baynes. NY would trade Nkilitina for a 2nd or two.

We wouldn't do this, but it would be smart. We need the depth and I think Nkilitina has a ton of potential still.
