    Not only Bridges but they have Oubre too. Bridges needs to start.
    I sent Warren and Jackson out in the Mock Trade thread as well.

    Does 4 years 72 million sound good?

    I find it hilarious that anyone can claim to know this information a full two weeks before teams can even speak to free agents.

    You honestly think agents don’t start negotiating until July 1?

    I'm saying it would be stupid for anyone involved to admit interest in a free agent before July 1st, especially if they were tampering which would be the case if we were talking to his agent.

    Not saying this guys sources are legit or anything, but it would be pretty naive to think teams and agents aren't talking with respect to players and contracts. Sure free agency doesn't start until 7/1 (or is it 6/30 night now?), but why do you think so many deals are reported 1 minute after midnight?

    Why would that be stupid? This guy isn't saying his source is the agent. Of course the player's agent isn't going to come out and confirm anything.

    What about all the Kyrie to Brooklyn talk that is going on now? Is that all smoke? A good number of people are "reporting" on that.

    Obviously when a team like Brooklyn makes a trade like they did to get max money it's fine to speculate that Brooklyn could be after him. No one really knows if they would let Russell go just to sign Kyrie though.

    In the case of RHJ, who would be telling the reporter about their interest? The team can't. If the agent does it may lead to a bad relationship with the GM.

    To me, that tweet was just a guess disguised as actual information. Therefore I don't believe he knows for sure.

    Josh Jackson would be a pretty intriguing pick-up. Could see him being another Rodney Hood, but even more upside.

    I would take Rodney Hood 100/100 times over Jackson.

    as well as the Nets and Knicks being interested in Durant still. These sort of things happen all the time before free agency opens up. Is it speculation? does somebody know a little more than the rest?

    Sorry. Didn't mean to imply I would take Jackson over Hood, although I think he has a lot of room to get better in the right situation and follow a similar career track to Rodney. A lot of Blazer fans didn't think much of Hood until they saw him plug-and-play in Portland. Cleveland ... Phoenix ... two organizations without direction or identity.

    Hood is a smart player. Jackson has like negative basketball IQ. I just don't think there are a lot of examples of players who don't seem to understand the game all of a sudden becoming a goid player.
