He literally said that Denver called him on the DM trade. He laid the ground work and they called him. I think he's active but that he doesn't push like some do. I have my reasons to believe this is how he operates. The Conley trade hung out there forever and then fell flat on deadline day for example. We gave a fair offer and they shopped it for a week or so before declining to move him at the deadline... we had no other deal to pivot to because he waited too long.

I think it comes from him being laser focused on one player or prospect and then waiting on that one thing to work. He sold picks before and said there weren't guys they liked... he locks in early on guys... its why Locke has been able to predict picks in the past. I don't think he is the aggressor in trade deals.

We can simply agree to disagree. I think KOC was aggressive in exploring options but slow to pull the trigger. DL has created more movement than KOC did and has demonstrated a willingness to move people. and make draft day trades. It is fair to say that the trade for Conley didn't pan out the way any of us wanted but that does not mean it wasn't an aggressive move. Being very active and making trades are different things.
 


The OG Hayward story breaker. He’d actually be a perfect fit in Atlanta. I wonder what kind of stuff Ainge is frantically trying to do to make a run for Harden.

He will say he was super close on a Harden deal just like he does with every big player or good player drafted. Herro was next on the board and they snatched him up... he had no other assets to move up to get his guy.

Let's not count Conley out just yet... Let's see at least a half season that he hopefully stays healthy.
 
I think it will be #6 and Dedmon for Gordon and #14 and 26.
 
With D'antoni joining Nash in BKN I think they may be able to make that work. I could be wrong but you'd think they would be happy to run fast breaks all damn day.

Having Harden takes away most of what is special about Irving. Those two together aren't a good fit.

No way I do that if I am Atlanta. Danny needs off of Hayward. Squeeze him more.

They get off Hayward next year. They arent signing anyone of significane right now. Ainge can wait it out, but obviously he'd rather get back some assets. I think it will most likely just be swapping 6 and 14 and w/e they need to make the deal work with filler. Maybe a flier like Bembry as well?

They can absorb most of his salary with cap space once FA opens so they don't need to match. Dedmon is 13M but helps the C's center issues.
