News, rumors and buzz around the draft and free agency

Luc would be a great option, IMO. See how he does coming back from that injury, and he might give us some great defensive presence. Tony Jones believes there isn't a chance that Carter would come. Not sure why. I don't think he's cited "sources" on that.

I think that’s Tony’s opinion. But I would concur that I don’t see the FO making the move, even though it’s a huge PR win (and I don’t mean PR with the fans, I mean PR with the league and players and rebranding Utah). What was Luc’s injury?

Aaron Gordon would be a dream for this team. Can pass, shoot, drive and is obviously athletic. He has improved every year. His defense would be very good on the team and is a great option for the LA teams. I love that he is young and has a lot of room to grow into a core piece of the next version of the team (in 3 years). For the current team I would be thrilled to trade Ingles, Exum, and Pick for him.

You would have to trade Ingles plus another player or players. That would hurt. You lose some shooting and playmaking. But Orlando is known to offload talent if they can save money and get a pick.

What picks does Miami have left to give? OKC already has their 2021 and 2023 (top 14 protected) from the Paul George trade.

Pick swaps, and future picks. Seems that OKC just wants picks and savings. Long term picks (2025 and 2027 maybe) actually fit OKC better since they have all those soon upcoming LAC and Miami picks.

OKC has to trade Westbrook now. They are gutting everything.

Faried, Oubre, Parker, Sefolosha and Luc Mbah Moute. There are a couple more players, but these are the only relevant ones imo.

Moute and Faried are the players I'd prefer out of that group.

Exum contract strikes again.

This may jusg be enough to completely tip the scale to clippers' favor. The west is now theirs to lose.

Also Lance Thomas and Corey Brewer. Thomas is a solid defender

Good. Put that **** to rest.

Exum contract strikes again.

If we didn't have Exum's contract, it's very likely that we would have paid more for the contracts of Bojan ($20+ instead of $17), Davis ($6+ instead of room MLE), Mudiay, etc. Some might could consider that Exum's contract helped us.

Plus, it looks like Green wanted to go back to the Clippers all along. He waited for all the dust to settle before re-signing to a decent deal.

Better question: would Trey Lyles really want to come back here with his tail between his legs, knowing he’s on Snyder’s hit list?

Lyles is out shopping for the team with the shortest practices.
