News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

If Tucker didn't throw that shade at Gobert via instagram, I would pursue him right now. I just don't want anybody messing up the lockerroom.

I agree. I feel like he'd be the perfect fit for us. Too bad he had to be a dick.

so.... in each of the last two offseasons Houston has shown Capela just how reluctant they are to value him. Copy that, Clint?

I’m not sure what the hell the rockets are up to... thought maybe they’d try flipping Paul for Butler but that CP contract is trash. If they trade Tuck, EG, Capela for Butler (essentially but obvi other teams involved) then what the hell they do with the rest of the roster... clearly they are up to stuff.

they ain't tampering, doe. Not one bit.

if his situation changed, and new comments were required, he would flip-flop on his comments as if he'd been set on fire. Tucker is the epitome of the 'fake tough guy' phenomenon in the NBA.

From Shams Charania. Would be pretty wacky if they went right back to the teams that traded them.

The Lakers have serious interest in Nets restricted free agent D’Angelo Russell, L.A.’s former No. 2 overall pick and former starting point guard, league sources said. The Lakers’ interest in Russell is real, and has been described as something that the organization has had partly due to their familiarity with Russell.

Harris is a priority for the 76ers — and expected to command a maximum-level contract. One team that should express interest in Harris should they miss out on Kawhi Leonard, according to league sources: The Clippers. Harris and the Clippers had a good relationship and Harris had an All-Star caliber season before the trade to the 76ers in February. Brooklyn, Dallas, Denver, Memphis, Minnesota, New Orleans, and Sacramento are expected to also express interest.

There will come a time, shortly, when the Jazz not screwing around with free agency this off season will look like a positive. There are going to be some idiotic contracts signed, mainly with teams re-upping their own players. . .

Thanks, but no thanks.
I like Oubre, but not at anywhere close to 20M/yr.

Why the hell is Oubre gonna get paid so much?

I'd gladly take Kurucs off of the Nets hands.
