    If MN drafts Rui I'd go hard after Covington.

    He's pretty much everything that we're missing in the starting unit.

    Phoenix is reportedly shopping the 6th pick. Is there a package that works for us?

    I expect more teams to shop their pick as we get closer to the draft.

    They're looking for a PG for that pick.

    They need to work out a S&T for Kemba. Would be best for both teams and personnel.

    Love the idea of this but I don’t think the Pups go after Rui after being bit by a similar player in the past (Derrick Williams).

    I want Gordon Hayward. I think he could turn around his career in Portland.

    Turner/Leonard/pick for Hayward.

    And they're fucked if they let him walk.

    There's no winning scenario for them unless they somehow package Bridges, Monk, and future picks for a couple star players.

    If I'm Charlotte, I'm offering him the supermax but I'm demanding that the 5th year be a team option.

    They have to offer him the supermax. It's not that with the money they will save they will get anybody else and they have shown the ability to tank with him on the roster as well lol

    Did you guys catch the bit from Mike Richman on his podcast yesterday?

    He said the Blazers had talks with CLE for Love before he got his extension last year. CLE reneged and said they wanted to build around him apparently.

    I wonder if that stance has changed now from either team. And those contracts we were probably trying to unload on them are expiring in one year.

    He also thinks we will try to use the pick to shed salary to get under the tax this year to open up for MLE for Hood.

    The minute Cleveland signed Love to an extension it tanked his value. Any team that traded for him before the extension could've let him play out the year and signed him to a much more reasonable contract with his bird rights this summer if it worked out. I'd be surprised if we pursued him now, unless all we had to give up was ET and Leonard.

    As for the other part, I'm sorry but anyone who says we are going to use our pick to shed salary loses credibility in my mind. This summer there are more free agents than there is money to sign them all to what they are expecting. There are going to be some really good value deals. Teams aren't going to sacrifice precious cap space before free agency even starts so that they can get the 25th pick. The pick might be used in a more balanced trade but not a shedding salary trade. To do that we'll have to wait until later in the free agency process and offer a 2020 pick but by then it might be too late.

    Might lose credibility in your mind, but I can still dream that they can package that pick with ET and not have ET! :)
