News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

Gotta admire the way Memphis is milking that Conley trade:

-2 1sts, Allen, Crowder, Korver, 25M TPE from us
-then they used part of the TPE to absorb Iguodala and GSW 1st
-then they used the rest of the TPE, Korver's contract to absorb Josh Jackson, Melton and 2 PHX 2nd round picks(which are likely to be good seconds because PHX is trash)
-and now they are trying to trade Iggy for another 1st...

So when they draw the line if they succeed they might have:
-4 1sts, Allen(1st from last year). Crowder
-Josh Jackson, De'Anthony Melton, 2 PHX second rounders

There is a real chance they can get at least 2 other seconds for Crowder if not a 1st.

Huge props to their FO ... this is a masterclass in maximizing aging asset.

They've done an amazing job. They even killed it at the draft imo. I thought Ja was the correct choice. And Brandon Clarke may have been the biggest steal of the whole night. He fits perfectly at PF next to JJJ in that future frontcourt.

I love that they’re not planning to buy Iguodala out.

I saw a Grizzlies fan on twitter cheering on the Jazz’s moves and said “we small market teams gotta stick together” and I really like that.

Yeah, great choice. Iguodala must be a great player to have around to teach the young guns a trick or two as well. Why should they pay him all that money to go somewhere else?

Grizzlies are resisting a buyout on Iguodala and trying to trade him. His salary is $17 million and there’s the whole “nightlife” non-sense, but is that something the Jazz could try and trade for?

Good for the Grizzlies. Guess they're hoping a loser in the Kawhi stakes will want Iggy as a consolation prize.

Can probably say the same about Boogie. He's probably betting one of the LA teams pays him $10M after losing out on Kawhi.
