Well we're not tanking. I hope he at least keeps good trade value high. I don't know why we'd go after Z Bo unless they want to move DJ.

Houston continues its ultra aggressive approach and has now secured a meeting with free-agent Andre Iguodala, league sources tell ESPN.

jfc Morey doesn't sleep eat or rest.

I like the move a lot though. Get a great contributor, he shoots pretty well from the 3, and him leaving directly hurts the only team Morey is gunning for atm.

It's looking more and more like Hayward will not be back in Utah, though obviously we have a long way to go before anything is done.

It's important to note that this was in response to Joe Ingles being Hayward's best friend, and that he was getting that sort of $15 million offer. On the other hand...

I know Jazz have been running possible trades by Gordon Hayward. I don't know if he liked or disliked this one.

Ok so if DJ was at the meeting then maybe Z Bo was just a backup plan if Blake left. Otherwise, they're looking at the opposite of the Warriors' lineup with Blake playing the 3, Z Bo the 4, and DJ the 5. Good luck defending outside shooters with that lineup.

I think Griffin can still carry the Clippers to the playoffs

I think so too with some of the pieces they got back, and that would be fantastic news for the Celtics.

I do think Griffin reupping there makes sense, though I also think totally burning the barn down would have been smarter.

I'm curious what happens with Redick. My sense is he stays, but maybe not. I'm curious what kind of deal he gets this summer with Bradley in mind next summer.

I think Teague would be great for The TWolves. Maybe a bit too much money but he defers a lot. It helps when you have 3 all star caliber players to pass to. He's a good floor general.

Y'know, Z-Bo WAS a 6th man 4/5 for the Grizzlies last year...

Although they already have two 6th man XD.

Reddick is basically confirmed to be out. I imagine the Clippers would also have to consider the prospect of needing a ticket-seller for the Inglewood stadium once it opens, not sure if that would be relevant.

Redick was at his best with CP3, so he should just go to Houston. I really don't want him.

Can't do it if we can't get rid of Ryno, unless he drastically lowers his price, and even then, we need defense and wings more.

He's apparently looking at something like $16-18 million, is looking into the Nets and Sixers, but is interested in the Rockets

Right now the Clippers lineup is:
Beverly
Rivers/Williams/Crawford
Decker/Johnson
Griffin/Harrell
Jordan

This is not a good team.

Wow I can't believe OKC found a sucker to take Oladipo. Well done. Westbrook can opt out so might as well go for it and that Oladipo contract was bad because hes bad.

Paul George coming to Oklahoma City via trade, I can confirm. Oladipo and Sabonis headed to Indy. @ramonashelburne first reported.

They flipped an expiring Ibaka for an expiring Paul George. It was definitely way too quiet on Presti's end, although this is such an un-Presti move XD

I don't get this... no way he signs with okc next summer.

They want to win games to keep Westbrook in town. And theres nothing stopping him from changing his mind either. Maybe he likes it in OKC.

It also costs them almost nothing. Oladipo is not good and his contract was not good.

At this rate, why would LeBron ever leave the East? He's got the 2nd best player in the conference on his team. And Love is a top 5 player in the East now. The East is weeeeak.
