    There was a rumor where they were exploring moving him for Wiggins, so maybe .......

    Where is this rumor? Porter is a better player and on a better contract than Wiggins.

    Utah was reportedly unwilling to include Favors in the Conley trade. If they need to waive him to make the trade work they wouldn't be able to re-sign him.

    This pretty much for sure means that Korver's contract will have to be guaranteed for this to work.

    Since the trade isn't happening until July 6th how about:

    ET and a future pick for Korver and Crowder

    As mentioned earlier, I wonder if them being on 2 smaller deals makes it more appealing to Memphis, where they can flip them more easily to contenders at the deadline for pieces.
    At the same time, neither would fetch too much, so if it was Turner and 25, maybe Memphis bites?

    Not necessarily. Where they come from, and how reliable sources are is definitely up for debate. But it's one thing to have someone say sources say X,Y,Z. And another for a fan to write a column saying hey, what about these deals

    Or maybe a 2020 lottery protected pick?

    We add a shooter to replace Curry and a PF to replace Aminu while ditching ET and saving $3.3 million which might be enough to open up the full-MLE for Hood or Kanter (still would be really close) and we could re-sign Layman as long as it's not too expensive.

    Essentially 4 first for Conley is a major haul. I wouldn't do that though. Korver is done, and Crowder isn't nearly a big enough upgrade for the 3 million savings.

    Not really, the inquisitur has made up stuff for years. Fun, and I'm glad you posted it, but not anything
    close to a "real" rumor.

    Connely is a nice pick up for Utah, but keep in mind, Connely has had injury issues throughout his career. Last six seasons have been 73,70,56, 69,12 and 70 games and only 4 times (5 if you count the shortened season) out of 12 seasons has he played 74 games or more.

    that true, but now load management is the trend with players. Ah, If I sign I need to have then liberty to rest when I think I need it. Mostly super stars will demand it though. Leonard, KD and maybe Conley?

    Load management won't stop a lot of injuries though. All it takes is one bad situation (Nurkic, Thompson Durant etc.) and bam.

    No he doesn't. He had one recent good game but Dame usually wins the matchup handily.
