    Vando contract is negative value going 3 years. I'd need at least a swap or something for taking that on. Otherwise just get a buyout from Ayton or even consider cutting him.

    Explain why?

    Again, all i hear is Reaves is LA’s best young talent, potential future all star. Arent you on the get rid of Ayton train? RW3 has no value and a future first, we can afford one for a potential future all star?

    Or am what I'm hearing is overblown and he isn't all that?

    For the very reason you said it.

    If ayton isnt gonna work, then why would a no value player like timelord and a pick make it better?

    You literally said it.

    I am on the get rid of ayton train, we all should be. But Reaves value is god tier higher.

    If Reeves was in Charlotte you never would have heard his name.

    He's solid scoring player but more similar to Simons than a future star we should be aiming for.

    He's certainly worth more than Ayton/Grant etc. Probably the 3rd most valuable Laker. Just doesn't make sense for the Blazers to target him.

    I'd expect he stays in LA unless they can package him and their pick and Knecht or such for an all-star level player.

    I mean if the Lakers want to include Reaves in a package we just have to find out what his value is around the league, if he's flippable then you take the deal and flip him or get a third team involved in the initial trade.

    If you need to ask why a first round pick attached would enhance a trade, you need to go back to baseball…..

    This popped up on my FB feed. Have no clue of the legitimacy, nor a clue if this would be a good trade for us. Not familiar with many Bulls players.

    This is a great deal. I don't like Patrick or his contract but at least he's young and they can try to turn it around. Getting a pick back along with a shooter is a terrific trade off for Ayton if they get it.

    That would be an absolute haul for Ayton. Sign me up! Huerter has been a pretty reliable shooter throughout his career and hustles on D even if he's not great at it. Patrick Williams is good at everything and I think a change of scenery might be just what he needs. If we're getting those two guys though then I hope we have a trade lined up for Jerami where we get guys back that we can sit or waive.

    Okay. I think its BS. It was also posted 11hrs ago, so if legit, I think it would have been picked up elsewhere by now.

    This looks like a Facebook group page where anyone who belongs to the group can post whatever they want.

    The same guy, De andre hunter claimed on June 26 that Utah had traded Markannen to San Antonio.
    Lauri Markkanen has been traded to the San Antonio Spurs, per @ShamsCharania.
    The Spurs will send over Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes, Malaki Branham, and three first round picks, including Atlanta’s 2027 first round pick, for the 7’0 forward.
    The Jazz and Barnes are expected to work on a contract buyout.
    Trade will become official July 1st.

    Sharpe is no where near fetching all nba talent. Hes as mid as you can get. We would get laughed out of all negotiations for all nba talent with that average player.
