MagicMan1979 133 Report post Posted July 5 Young is potent enough to keep the Hawks around .500, and they don't have much incentive to tank so long as the Spurs control their first-round picks through 2027 thanks to the original Murray trade. The smoothest way to reclaiming those picks is trading Young to the Spurs, but San Antonio has not shown much recent interest in that, sources said. The Spurs understand the potential value of those picks, and they (for now) appear to favor holding them hostage over swapping them back to Atlanta. The Lakers, too, have shown little recent interest in Young, sources said. That could change if the price drops to L.A.'s liking. But the market for Young is as chilly as it has ever been. https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/40496545/clippers-nuggets-convenient-fear-second-apron-first-week-nba-free-agency Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicMan1979 133 Report post Posted July 5 But Mitchell is now under contract for three more seasons -- a coup for the Cavs even if his extension is not as long as they might have dreamed. The Mitchell-Garland fit has proven more awkward than expected, and there were rumblings Mitchell's return might spur Garland's camp to push for a trade. Those rumblings -- and Garland's trade market -- have quieted. And that's fine. Garland is just 24. I'd bet on a nice bounce back after a plague of injuries derailed him last season. https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/40496545/clippers-nuggets-convenient-fear-second-apron-first-week-nba-free-agency Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here I cherry picked some comments he made about Young and Garland. I’d say it will be pretty quite on that front for awhile. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have great love and consideration for him too, he's often on target. Worth noting that he consider us winners, but is also pointing out that we will probably need a second star or something, depending how our core evolve. For me it was already evident, but now we'll have to wait and see how we develop. The comments highlighted by MagicMan1979 were worth noting too. There's also a full section on OKC, I really envy their situation/management. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maledon has a shot to be the 3rd PG, and Todd can work himself into a two-way contract. Starting 5: PG. Black SG. Maledon SF. Howard PF. da Silva C. Todd omg, im kinda surprised. We never focused on these summer league rosters. Always had subpar players, with no chance at all!! It would be a huge win if we can add Maledon and Todd as two way players. Also curious to see Culver. I liked him in the draft, but he could never build on his raw game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orlandoholic 162 Report post Posted July 5 https://x.com/nba_university/status/1809240208572916148?s=46 if this list is true, I can’t see us being interested in Simons. Although i like his game. Also, OKC had a helluva offseason. I think Hartenstein is underrated, the impact he has is tremendous. But also i didn’t like the contract if it was us.

Soul Bro 1,453 Report post Posted July 5 “Let this thing marinate. Every good player on a rookie-scale contract is a precious asset in the apron era.” https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/40496545/clippers-nuggets-convenient-fear-second-apron-first-week-nba-free-agency To me this is really important to understand. Patience with rookies in this new cap era will really pay off. Now we just need our guys to develop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
