News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

Nope

Count the number of tomes he's waffled on a player. Or his narrative suddenly aligns with team speak. Locke knows who pays his salary.

Why do they have to sneak in and grab him? He's an UFA, IINM. He agrees to a contract, Jazz waive Favors and he's ours.

Because Indiana's cap space would be tied up for a few days if they make an offer to Brogdon, who is restricted. Milwaukee is prepared to match up to around $20M for Brogdon.

Nobody is saying that. But he is a good backup PG when healthy.

Third string garbage minute guard. MAYBE.

Actually backup guard? HELL NO.

We need a guard who can consistently play for more than 30 min and score in double figures easily when being called upon. Examples are Shabazz Napier, Seth Curry, etc. We can't even play Neto for more than 20 min of NBA basketball without having him OUT for the next few games.

No **** talking about Neto on the weekend please.

Pretty sure Bojan comes at the expense of Ingles. Can't have them both

This is completely inaccurate.

So several teams now are in pursuit of Jimmy Butler, including Miami, LA Clippers, Houston and Philly.

1. Miami: Even though he supposedly wants to go to Miami, I don't see them being able to clear salary. Is anyone going to trade for Hassan ($25M) or James Johnson ($14.6M)? Dragic picked up his option at $19M; he's overpaid. I think Ryan Anderson is a TO. He has to be gone. But that doesn't clear up enough space. Miami is out.
2. Houston: I guess Philly has to decide if a S&T is better than losing him for nothing...if he's set on leaving. I'd probably take Gordon and Capela for him.
3. LA Clippers: makes the most sense
4. Philly: he stays if they outbid everyone else. But why would they? Team chemistry was reportedly terrible. No surprise there after he whined his way out of Minnesota. I'd love to see him try to share the ball with Harden. I'd definitley grab some popcorn for that show.

Would you try to get Kemba after having acquired Conley?

I really hope the jazz are working on a trade with Rubio to stay above the cap. If other teams front offices are willing to help the friggin Lakers, I’d hope they’d help the Jazz.

You realize what a BACKUP guard is right? No, we don't need him to play 30 minutes a game...ever.

I already have Neto as one of our minimum contracts.

No, but at Ingles' salary and his age, he probably would accept coming off the bench. He played way too many minutes last year and wore down as the season progressed after lighting things up his first several games. You could still play him 25-30 mins as the 3rd wing.

This would give us a bigger exception to work with correct?
