Not as openly as the lakers... there have been multiple fines now related to laker tampering in multiple years. I get it... but NO is saying that they won't be bullied (at least for now).

I’m hoping some completely unexpected team jumps in and makes an offer for AD that screws over everybody. Like OKC ending up with PG13 or Toronto going all in on Kawhi Leonard.

Listened to Tony Jones on the Game Theory podcast... talked Conley trade... said our offer is built on our first and expirings. Detroits is built on a first and Jackson...
He said "unprotected" when describing both picks... if that is really the case... they should take Detroit's offer. Blake sprains and ankle and they miss the playoffs... looking at a small chance of a top 4 pick. I'm not sure he actually knows what protections would be there... would be crazy for them not to protect the pick. At #10 they have a 14% chance at top 4... 3% chance at Zion. Gotta do that even if the salary you take back is really awful.

I don’t think AD gets traded until the draft.

He also mentioned the Jazz have added a second round pick to their offer.

The unprotected picks surprise me, especially Detroit’s, but I guess that’s what bidding wars are for. I’d be willing to leave It protected 1-10 or maybe even 1-5, but if Detroit goes more than that they can have Conley. We’re a Rudy or Mitchell injury away from the lottery.

Not if we have Conley.

Mitchell maybe, Rudy definitely not. At least I’d be quite pessimistic, wouldn’t want to leave the pick completely unprotected

May as well throw in all their second round picks the way the jazz seem to throw them away every year. Lol

What about Harrison Barnes? He is shooting what 39% from 3 and has played well at the 4 in small ball. Rumor has it he is available now.

How fun is it watching both the Lakers and Celtics throwing hissy fits because they're not getting their way

I don’t think Barnes is worth his contract for us
