Didn't want to create a new thread.

Why are people acting as if Tomic has already come over? Was there a tweet from Jazz management or something? Why are some posters acting like Tomic will be playing for the Jazz next year?

IIRC, there was a poorly translated article that indicated it would happen. His name has been mentioned in some interviews, and I think some jazz execs have said they will talk this summer.

Hes interesting IMO, in the context of this summers FA Center crop and his potentially low cap #, clearly the Jazz could use him if one of Kanter or Favors is traded.

Maybe its crazy but id rather have Tomic for a few mil then Gortat or Spencer Hawes for 3 years 30 million. It leaves much more wiggle room for the Jazz to add Trevor Ariza, or even maybe Luol Deng, Kyle Lowry or Avery Bradley

The deal will essentially prohibit Saric from playing in the NBA for a minimum of two years the source told ESPN.

Breaking: Dario Saric has agreed in principle to a three year deal with Anadolu Efes a source close to Saric told https://ESPN.com .





What in the **** is Saric thinking.

Oh no. Not Anadolu Efes. Not a rival team.

But it is good for him. He is getting a chance to work with one of the best coaches in Euroleague, Dusan Ivkovic. He will probably get good money too.
 
Aaron Gordon In Consideration To Go As High As No. 4 To Magic
Jun 23, 2014 12:17 AM EDT


Aaron Gordon is receiving consideration from the Orlando Magic with the No. 4 overall pick in the NBA draft and is not expected to fall past the Sacramento Kings at No. 8.

Gordon displayed a 39-inch vertical leap during the Chicago pre-draft combine.

"If and when I reach my full potential, I think I will be better than everybody [in this draft]," Gordon said. "I think I will have an edge."

It was a translation that tied back to Perrin's interview. Yes, Walt did say they were talking about the possibility of him coming over and will also decide on Raul. I think a lot of it depends on how the draft goes.
 
Parker didn't go hard in his workout at Cleveland. Apparently he prefers Milwaukee over Cleveland.


https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/233872/Jabari-Parker-Prefers-Bucks-Over-Cavaliers

A source says Jabari Parker strongly prefers to play for the Milwaukee Bucks, something that the Cleveland Cavaliers appear to be aware of.

Parker worked out for the Cavaliers on Friday and two sources said he seemed indifferent. One source thought Parker "tanked" the workout.

"Jabari wasn't himself," one source said. "It was clear we weren't his first option."

But the Cavaliers are still leaning toward taking Parker over Andrew Wiggins

Incase you wanted to see the worst mock draft out there...
Click to expand...

ROFL. David Aldridge usually has some good stuff on the draft, loaded with quotes from exec's and scouts. I understand he prefaced this mock with a few paragraphs about why mocks are bogus, but still...

Its the first mock ive seen with Walter Tavares to the Jazz at 23, though he doesnt seem to think the Jazz will keep #23, citing the young talent on the roster and a list of teams that do not have 1st round picks

Nik Stauskas at #5 is really bad, but this is inexcusable;

25) Houston
Needs: Stretch four, even more shooting
Pick: Aaron Harrison, SG, Kentucky
With the Rockets desperate to clear max cap room to take a run at somebody -- LeBron, Carmelo, Love, take your pick (owner Les Alexander is determined to make another splash and the Rockets don't really care who it is) -- they won't be keeping this pick in all likelihood. Harrison showed his mettle in the NCAA Tournament, and he'll be a solid contributor right away. (If Indiana is looking to get into the first and isn't sure it can re-sign Lance Stephenson, Harrison would make an awful lot of sense here for the Pacers.)

I ****ing love this from AG. This and other quotes from the kid actually bump him up my board. We absolutely need a killer.

LOL, didn't catch the Harrison pick for Houston. I was too busy laughing at Stauskas going at #5.

It is changed now... In other new David Aldrige is next in line for the Minnesota or Cleveland GM jobs from what I can see.
 
Found this on another forum, can somone with insider confirm this is in chad fords latest mock?


"Sources say that the foot and back fractures aren't the only issues with Embiid's physical. There are several other issues that need to be addressed."
