It's all posturing. They might have towards training camp but there's no real reason to do so in August

Would the nets do that?

They'd create a $12M TPE and would lower their luxury tax bill significantly. Assuming that they'd also likely be trading Durant to Boston for a package of something like Brown, White, picks, I think it'd make sense.
Simmons - Harris - Brown - Bojan - Claxton
Two super athletic wings that can create surrounded by shooters.

Fischer saying Utah isnt that desperate to trade Donovan. Says a lot of people in the org would prefer to keep him and that they are trying to work something out with Cleveland to put Sexton together with Mitchell.

They won't let Irving go for that cheap. Clearing the books is nice, but they are going to want more assets in return.

What team wants Ky? He is a FA at end of year.
Also, would they be happy to be out the Ky business?
The options for Brooklyn are likely Lakers for a pretty meh return... or 1 more year with Ky before he walks. Depends on KD but its not a great spot to get a good return.
Also Fischer said Donovan approved the new jerseys lmfao

Fischer is one of my favorite dudes to follow... not so huge that he won't give up the juicy rumors and his kinda dry personality makes me laugh a little.

I don't think any team wants to trade for Ky personally. They'll assume that they can get him after the season free of charge and they're right - I can't imagine there's more than 2-3 teams he wants to play for.
I'm guessing Zanik and Ryan Smith want to keep him, and Ainge wants to trade him. The idea that the Jazz want to pair Mitchell with another 6'1 guard in the backcourt after seeing how it worked out with Don/Conley is absolutely baffling to me.
I still think he'll be moved before the season starts.
