I’m sure they’re holding out for more, but I think it will be hard to get more than a Celtic offer of Gallo + Kornett + clean 28FRP.

Not just a few buck— closer to 7.5M at least

Nah man. They WILL send us Luke Kornet though, since he’s useless with Jakob there.

I take those to mean he’s OK paying the tax if they make an actual upgrade (OG, Collins). I’m less convinced he’s happy paying it to keep their status quo or making a minor deal (like this one) if it doesn’t also help their tax situation.

^ well it’s not like college ball is showing the way either. And the recent SCOTUS decision on college sports will only make the ignite et al model more appealing

Two things: 1. If you believe Windhorst, MIL/PHX have been talking about moving Crowder, MIL is super motivated, and PHX just doesn’t want Grayson Allen. The only alternative (without making it a bigger deal) that gets the matching money is Nwora, Ibaka, and Hill. This is why they’ve been trying...

Helpful thanks -- so player part of the framework is probably Jakob for Gallo + Kornet. And then the teams are fighting over the draft capital piece.

Who says no? Windhorst musing that Suns & Mil still trying to figure out Crowder trade and have been talking to 3rd teams. MIL: Crowder + Roby PHX: Richardson + Hill SAS: Saric + Ibaka+ Nwora + Suns 23FRP + Portland 24SRP (via MIL) + Indy's 25SRP (via MIL)

If moves are made here at the deadline, i think we'll start seeing him more at the big club

Gallo's money (plus another small salary) is one of the few ways BOS can match Jakob's 9M salary. Gallo is just ballast.

I think that's right

I like BOS as a fit, but Im still confused whether we can receive Gallo's salary as filler since we waived him earlier this year. I dont see how it works otherwise.

This discussion makes me think the spurs should go harder for Kuminga at this deadline. If they get Scoot, spurs all the sudden have lots of interesting pieces, though, unfortunately it may mean keldon’s days are numbered.

Tempting but I think spurs have to go Scoot at 2. He projects to be a big time talent and is at a position of urgent need for the team and in the modern NBA
