News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

[framer]

Wow if DLo is unrestricted, I wonder if the Jazz FO might open the bank vault?

Best case is that the Lakers max him, using all their cap on a defensively weak jumpshooter.

So...

Klay --> GSW
Kyrie --> BK Nets
Kemba --> BOS
Vucevic --> ORL
Rose --> DET
Mirotic --> Barcelona
Millsap --> DEN
Barnes --> SAC
Horford --> likely to NOLA
Collison --> retired
Middleton --> likely back to Milwaukee
Butler --> Miami ??

...

Terry Rozier now unrestricted. Boston surely expecting to sign Kemba.

This almost makes zero sense to me. The Lakers couldn't wait to get rid of him a couple of years ago. I guess all is forgiven.

He's improved quite a bit since then.

If Jazz have decided to not keep Favors they need to cut him as soon as possible to give him a chance to cash in on the market

I honestly don't think they've decided one way or the other yet. You're right though, if they're not keeping him the sooner they release him the better for his sake.

So the market is looking like Rozier and Russell will be easily available and Tobias might be available for less than max.

So hypothetically, we could have gotten Rozier $12ish and Harris $30 if we only sacrificed Grayson, Korver, Neto and maybe or maybe not Crowder. We probably would have kept our 1sts.

Probably still rather have Conley though.

Lakers should blow on defense. Russell stinks. Lebron is really only average now. Davis is overrated imo. Kuzma stinks too.

Anyone smart enough and willing to put together an updated list of how much money teams have left?

DL waiting until July 4 to publish a ****ing Players’ Tribune article on the Favors decision.

It’s similar to Michael Scott’s “you’re hired — and you can work here forever.”

Yeah, I would definitely rather have Conley.

All of this is true, but there are probably going to be 6 - 8 teams that show interest in Russell, and the Lakers might not get him...

Minnesota, Dallas, Indiana and maybe Orlando are in play, as well as the Lakers.

Not sure about the source, but it seems to make sense...

Why should a perennial playoff team cut their 3rd best player?

To get better.
