Good lord, that franchise can’t get out of it’s own way.

I'm not buying the Wizards philosophy on point guards.

Atlanta's young guys got "unlocked" when they traded Young away.

The Houston Rockets are reportedly willing to listen to trade offers for their All-Star players, per @KellyIko “Rival teams that have contacted the Rockets recently have been informed that 23-year-old Amen Thompson is the only near untouchable on the roster, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Houston isn't actively shopping its All-Stars or other key members, sources said, but are merely expressing more of a willingness to listen than at previous junctures.”(Via https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/giannis-antetokounmpo-nba-draft-buzz-and-the-latest-chatter-around-the-league-195345197.html)

Yeah, I'm not on the Trae Young bandwagon.

If true, that was fast.

Anthony Davis and his camp have been seeking a max extension, and it’s plausible to consider him a potential trade candidate out of Washington, per
@JakeLFischerThe Portland Trail Blazers are a team expected to show interest.(Via

I mean they are the Wizards. It's a bad contract but is it worse than losing him for nothing, honestly I think that is a tough call. It's not like there are great other free agents that will sign with them.

 

[Proximo]

If true, that was fast.

Not that surprised, I don't think the chemistry is good at all. Most of that is due to KD in my opinion but they need change one way or another.

 

[Proximo]

This makes the Suns trade for Durant look even more extreme. Phoenix gave up so much to get him.

Yeah, I don't think anyone disputes that at this point.

I think it is clear the whole league has learned -Superstars - because of their huge pay packages just aren't as valuable as they used to be.

Obviously the Suns way overpaid for Durant. The Rockets are finding out what Phoenix did. The Suns were lucky to get some value in return.

I do think Giannis is worth it to the right team. He is closer to the value the Suns paid for Durant.

The Trail Blazers are waiting for an opportunity this summer to trade for Anthony Davis, per
@JakeLFischer
.

Davis is seeking a max extension, but it’s unknown whether the Wizards are willing to offer it.

Portland has pivoted from pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo to Davis.

Latest intel on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade saga, per @ChrisBHaynes:

"Right now, I’m hearing the Boston Celtics, not the Miami heat, are the favorites to land [Giannis] in a trade."

 

[Mainstreet]

Likely Giannis will be a Bucks or Celtics player by 7 PM tomorrow.

I really don’t get what Miami has to offer that can better a Celtics offer that revolves around Jaylen Brown.

If I were the Bucks I'd look strongly at the Heat if they are offering #13 and a couple more first round picks. Plus they get Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, and Jaime Jaquez Jr.

Maybe they can even flip Herro.

The Bucks are not going to be competing for a title for a while. Jaylen Brown will be 30 in October.

The Timberwolves are sending Julius Randle and #28 pick to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade.

Looks like the Bulls will not be competing with the Suns for Mark Williams?

Randle is great for one year every time he goes to a new team. I’d imagine another move is coming for Minnesota.

Brutal salary dump trade by the Wolves.

Smart move by Wolves

Giannis to Miami

I'm not big on Herro, wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks shop him, Ware and Jaquez are quality young role players... hard to imagine those picks being worth much.

Underwhelming haul for a top 5 player.
