    Discussions....but Joe has little leverage other than the value of Bled's contract being at his highest right now. He is willing (obviously) to make a move, but there are better options out there for most of the options he would like to acquire. A bit of a waiting game.

    What kind of pizza is on the table? I used to be just a pepperoni man, but now I’m more of a supreme kind of guy.

    I'm trying to find avenues to facilitate a Harden to Philly deal by taking on Ben into space. Just can't figure out any ideas.

    We don't have any contracts large enough, nor can we combine trade exceptions.

    If Simmons were to happen for Portland, it would more likely be this summer after BRK and PHI failed to work something out today. We really don't have the assets to make it happen today unless BRK basically just gives up. We will be in a better situation as cap relief to create enough space for PHI if Harden opts out this summer.

    Yes, my sources also told me that people in front offices around the league are very active today and that trades may or may not get done. Hold on to your shorts, everyone. Or don’t. It’s your choice.

    Unless we can dump both Ingles and Bledsoe contracts to teams with large enough trade exceptions, we can't open up the capspace to absorb Ben's deal completely today.

    That LA deal we did last Friday was really hastily done. No need for that. I'd rather have had Roco/Powell contracts to play with today.
