News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

It's not Riley's MO to stock up on 1sts while selling players anyway so I don't understand why he'd sell off Winslow for a worse player currently + a pick. He only moves Winslow if he can upgrade him or he needs to clear cap to sign a better FA.

Riley would use our 1st to get Westbrook. And the Heat have to stay below the apron while they have to take back more salary when getting Westbrook because OKC wants to get below the luxury.

Trading Winslow for Exum saves Miami $3 million and gets picks for Westbrook deal.

I feel like Presti would prefer Winslow over a future Utah 1st though

His joints are ripped too!

Yeah, I hear he added 5lbs of cartilage this summer.

They might... not sure how big of a rebuild they want to do... if they want to tear it down to studs then Exum+1st instead of Winslow might be preferable. Would get them under the tax... which is something they want to do.

OKC gets Dragic, Exum, draft considerations from Miami and Utah. They save $10 million on this deal

Miami gets Westbrook

Utah gets Winslow

Miami is hard capped, so they can't really take that much salary back. They honestly need to send out a little more salary than they take back. It makes more sense for a cap space team or a team with a trade exception to step in here. We can give some relief, but likely not enough.

The DeMarre Carroll deal wasn’t dependent on Morris coming there. They worked out a sign and trade between Washington, SA and Brooklyn for that. Even if Morris backs out, they still have their full MLE - just not a lot of options for using it. Could split it up to use on two players. Kinda like having two of the Room exceptions.

If DedEx comes back this year and plays at a high level his new nickname should be Jesus.

Not Lazarus?

Hopefully Morris backs out and wants out come Christmas.

anyone who was advocating for Marcus Morris is.................... hopefully ashamed of themselves.

Like I said before when people were pushing the idea of either Morris bro, I've heard some sketch character stuff. Welp, here is more.
