    To be fair.....you are right
    :)
    But I am also a part of the forum where “sources” claim we’re going after every player.

    Most recently sources claim we had a 50% chance of landing Tristan. Now you tell me, is there even a 1% chance we were going after Tristan, seeing that we clearly were using Capela’s contract for a wing, and we don’t have other contracts to match $18M

    How close is close? Last night Morey was a "gulf" away from Covington and a few hours later the 4 team trade was agreed on :D

    We have likely expressed interest in Tristan Thompson to his agent in the case of a buyout, but yeah I'm with you, almost 0% chance we would trade for him or ever considered it.

    This is not true though, until the 4 team trade is officially done we can add up to 12M in that trade if we find the right team/player to add. And if we add more outgoing players we can take even more back, possbily up to the 18M Thompson is making so, on paper that's possible.

    Harden and Russ would turn any decently athletic big man into a MIP candidate.

    And in Atlanta he started to shoot 3s well, i thought about him cause he's making around 13M and would kinda fit in this scenario, but i'm not sure Tilman will pay the tax for him tbh...also cause it's a three years deal (with maybe the last not fullly guaranteed...). And Feigen said "Eastern Conference teams"...
