Why would Utah take that lowball? Crap matching salary, two crap picks, and maybe one good one if Ant forces his way out for their star player doesn't make much sense for them.
Lauri or Cam would help alot at the 4 and Sochan could slide to the 3 if playing with Lauri or a defensive 4 if playing with Cam. I'd offer our 27, 29, + the Minny pick for Lauri or just 27 and 29 for Cam. In the draft take either Jackucionis or Jase Richardson and Liam McNeely or Karaban.
PG Paul, Jackucionis/Jase
SG Devin, Castle
SF Sochan, Champagnie, McNeely or Karaban
PF Lauri/Cam, Barnes
C Wemby , player to be named later

It's 3 firsts... salary wouldn't matter for them and they'd find Keldon useful... maybe we have to add another first, which I'd be OK with and if that isn't enough just take Cam.
Tweet from reporter Clay Ferraro with Tim Hardaway interview “[Jimmy Butler] let those guys down by not playing in Orlando, & then out kicking it somewhere. People were calling me saying ‘Man he not even playing in Orlando. He at Prime 112 kicking it and eating and hanging out with folks” The Orlando game in question took place when Jimmy Butler was reportedly out sick with a “stomach illness”
Might need to add Jimmy to the y: Do Not Touch List
That is some Nephew esqe
He’s always been an asshole, but nearing the end, people are less afraid to call him out. He’s done this at every stop.
Riley’s a strange bird. If he’d have just kept his own mouth shut, he could have dumped Jimmy to some ish mid team, and gotten a return of some sort. Now, he’s a seriously distressed asset, and they won’t get for him. Jimmy’s not helping matters, but Riles killed his trade value with a single press conference.
Pat Riley doesn't take . I wouldn't call him strange. He doesn't like letting players walk all over him, so it was almost expected that he'd Jimmy out. It's hurt his trade value, but that didn't surprise me knowing Riley's character.
Riley’s comments have nothing to do with Butler’s trade value. He’s just too old to give a anymore.
Miami would have been well aware of what possible offer there were and apparently they’ve been really bad but not because of what anyone said - it’s because Butler wants an extension with the team he’s traded to, which rules out about 28 teams. Riley’s only play is to get him to not pick up his player option for next year, and this also seems incredibly unlikely if he’s not traded.
It has everything to do with his trade value. I understand his personal motivations, but he damaged the product by venting his feelings to the press in an unprofessional manner. If he’s too old to act professionally to maximize Butler’s trade value, and he’s older than Pop, then maybe he needs to hang it up. I’d be furious if I were Mickey Arison.
It was literally the press conference after the playoff loss. I doubt they were canvassing teams for Butler’s trade value right then. The extension talk didn’t help, but when you don’t value a player or at least pretend to, no one else will, either.Miami would have been well aware of what possible offer there were and apparently they’ve been really bad but not because of what anyone said - it’s because Butler wants an extension with the team he’s traded to, which rules out about 28 teams.

Mavs without Kyrie and Luka are killing the Nuggets.
Our role players are not even close to serious basketball.
Neither are our starters.
Watching the Kings-Bulls and Fox hardly even looks like he's putting much effort in, even though he has 14 points in the middle of the 3rd. He's not really the focal point of this offense today (I realize he's coming off an injury). In the past I've seen much more effort in his game and it makes me wonder how much he wants a change of scenery and if Sac would prefer a pick centered package or win now players that we just don't have.
^ couldn’t quite get it done final few plays but Lavine had another solid game.
How did he look after you posted this? I saw he finished with 26pt and 9reb. That's a nice statline
Also looks like the Mavericks had a Spurs v Bulls level meltdown against the Nuggs
