DeRozan gonna opt out and sign with the Lakers/Clippers for cheap imo.

DeRozan gonna opt out and sign with the Lakers/Clippers for cheap imo.

i'm getting that feeling too tbh.

DeRozan gonna opt out and sign with the Lakers/Clippers for cheap imo.

If that were true the Lakers probably don’t do the OKC deal.

[Robz4000]

If that were true the Lakers probably don’t do the OKC deal.

It might be why they did the OKC deal tbh.

[gambit1990]

If that were true the Lakers probably don’t do the OKC deal.

that deal has to do with rondo imo. lakers are far from done in terms of making moves.

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter Jr. is opting into his $28.4 million player option for the 2020-21 season, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

I wonder if OC will eventually have trouble offloading those picks. Keeping them all is difficult because the earlier ones will be up for paydays by the time the later ones are drafted. Boston seems to have more picks than they want too; parleying extra picks into a star is not nearly as easy as it sounds.

They’ll be able to offload them, but won’t get full value for them. Most likely path is packaging picks together to move up in drafts to go grab the guys they absolutely want. If nothing else, they’ll be able to draft their guys over the next several years.

Tf taking him so long then?

[DPG21920]

They are still working on trades. Im sticking to what I’ve heard; whether he opts in or does not he is not going to be a Spur. I thought earlier opting out would be most likely but it never changed my original overarching point that he would be shopped heavily.

I am just glad that it now appears the decision will be made BEFORE the draft.

ESPN Sources with @ramonashelburne and @ZachLowe_NBA: As Houston’s James Harden considers his future with franchise, one possible trade destination is rising to top of his list: Brooklyn. The idea of reuniting with Kevin Durant and joining Kyrie Irving is resonating with Harden.

Durant, Kyrie, and Harden. Yeah, those are 3 guys who get along with everyone. Should be a good locker room.

Its been about a week since you got information from your source. That's expired milk. Get more info dude.

[TD 21]

Really weird to criticize PATFO in this case, in other words.

You missed the point. It was that if they were in the situation with S bag that the Rockets might be about to enter into with Harden, they'd be drawn to the Nets package.

Not saying they'd select it over a Simmons package though, saying that they'd take it over more of a re-building type one.

He said his source was another poster on here and if it's who i think it is then i don't believe any of it because that guy has a history of making up. If his source is not who I'm thinking of then you have to give him the benefit of the doubt.

[DPG21920]

Lol only In this world is one week considered old. I didn’t say any other than he was being aggressively shopped/that he’s gone. I still believe that wholeheartedly. The technicals may end up being wrong (ie opting out vs not) but again the overarching point was always that he was gone one way or the other. All the rumors post my comments have aligned.

Be patient. Moratorium isn’t even lifted for f sake lol

I just think it's a weird accusation to make against them. They clearly were not attracted to Philly's offer of Cov, Saric and 10 (if indeed they offered all that) or LAC's offer of 12 or 13 and Harris. They wanted a star to build around in the same way Houston would if they want a Simmons deal. That they decided on what they did is certainly something most of us have criticized for years at this point. But there's zero evidence they'd be interested in Brooklyn's offer.

Not saying they'd select it over a Simmons package though, saying that they'd take it over more of a re-building type one.

I don't see a Simmons trade as a rebuilding move, and I doubt Houston would either given the rest of their roster. Unless they get a sweetheart deal for Russ, they're probably stuck with win-now role-players, and the recourse to Simmons ++ would be to try to make that work. A rebuilding package would be sending him to GS for Wiggins and Looney along with 2 and any other pick that GS has that's not nailed down. Or Minny could do Culver 1, 17 and filler. ATL certainly also has a rebuilding package they could offer. With a guy like Harden, Houston has the option to take back whatever package they want. The Spurs didn't have that with Kawhi, but they still tried to get the young star rather than the middling players and an okay first like the Nets look to be offering.

i just saw christian wood for the first time. it was a three second clip.

spurs should trade for him.

[Dejounte]

When you read this tweet really fast, it almost makes you think it said DeMar DeRozan

He’s an unrestricted FA and is about to get paid handsomely. If the Spurs wanted him, they’d need to salary purge or work through a sign and trade.

I keep reading players deciding on their options... Did nba gave finally the deadline and its possible it's for today?
