    Not surprising. They are talking to everybody about everything. But what do they really want? Lowry when they already have Irving? Multiple mid-1st rounders? Don't see it happening.

    Maybe they like Kmart, and a pick or two.

    Agree. It doesn't make sense unless they're going after Morris or Parsons.

    If all this talking doesn't materialize into something, I'm going to be massively disappointed.

    Maybe they would be interested in Kevin Martin along with picks. They are really weak on the wing. Just speculation, I really don't know what we have to offer them for that #4.

    I'd assume they have interest in Martin and/or Dalembert as both veterans and expirings as well as our picks.

    Are the Cavs ready to compete? Martin/Dalembert might be a good set of players.

    What if we move up to 5 or 6 as rumors suggest. And then use it to move up to 4 if the Cavs get their guy (Barnes?) at 5.

    That way we can get a player we may be targeting or trade it for Dwight.

    I doubt it's Kmart. I think they want to go young, so maybe Morris and 14/16.

    They probably want to unload Varejao's contract on us. Morey did like him pre injury.

    Is there a link or quote?

    Obviously we have very little information here, but I tend to think the target isn't Andre Drummond if they're aiming as high as 4th... though Sacramento could be trading #5 to a handful of teams, which changes everything, so I may be wrong.

    I imagine they are trying to set the price in case someone falls to 4 that they really wanted or in terms of facilitating a trade, someone falls to 4 that another team really wanted. w

    MKG or Barnes are both just fine with me! Either would make Parsons tradeable, and i'm sure teams have a high value on him. Can def. see the cavs moving back though.

    Target is Beal with secondary target of MKG.

    They're going to ask for a lot. Like, all three first rounders. If there were a specific player worth going bust for, I'd be for it but the fact that they are willing to trade the 4th pick suggests they know the relative weakness of the pick relative to the quality of players available. It's too bad we have so many pieces in place. This draft is perfect if your team is lousy and lacks quality depth.

    Sorry no link, just saw it on ESPN. Ford went on live at 10:15 Eastern. Don't think it's on the website yet.

    Stephe A. Smith also said Dwight does not want to play here because he does not want to live up to what Hakeem did here. He wants his own legacy.

    I'm quite used to it by now. Seems like the same 'ol every year. HIGH expectations thanks to all of the trade talk, then....nothing. Major let down and whatnot, so I just get lit and pass out with my underwear around my ankles.
