News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

[David Stern]

Well what was it?

He still hasn’t come on

One thing I'm confident in is Massai… If he is getting the last say I think he can make a convincing argument.

If Korver comes in and hits 1 three pointer and cans 2 free throws with 60 seconds left, he's worth the price!

If that's the case, I'd certainly go for him.

I don’t think it is, though. But, yeah.

Jalen Rose saying he's 99% sure Kawhi will stay in Toronto on a 2-year deal. The end of that contract would put him at 10 years in the league, making for a richer max contract at that time.

I read an article that touched on this exact point. Korver can be picked up by the Jazz if traded again, then waived... just not if waived by the team Utah traded him to.

If we are working on a deal for more shooting, it's not a bad option.

Link? Cuz I’m the **** down.

Are the Grizzlies going to try and make this trade part of the Conley deal? Because if so that might change things.

Would be a complete win if the Jazz were able to bring him back after all of this settles.

It’s interesting because of how much more he could sign for next year. The argument is always that you make more in marketing deals in LA to negate lower pay there. However, what’s the total marketing $$ difference between being with LeBron and AD vs. being the face of basketball for an entire country? I don’t know.

I think he is eligible for that next year... so it'd be a 1+1... plus all of Toronto's guys are up next year... makes for a nice bookend. I think he might be staying.

I'm not sure there is this huge difference if you are a star. The 10 year max is like 6-7M more per year... so that's a lot.

Fare thee well, part two. The Conley trade, as discussed back then, will also cost the Jazz Kyle Korver and Grayson Allen. Memphis will still have until the weekend to decide if they want to guarantee Korver’s salary and keep him, of pay $3.44 million to cut him loose. If they do waive him, Utah will be prohibited from reacquiring him for one year. If they were to trade him again and then THAT team let him go, then in theory, Utah could offer him a veteran minimum contract3.
