    Well then you haven't looked hard enough.

    When a player is injury prone, these kind of things could pop up, especially if GSW is trading for him to essentially sign him long term.

    About the only way a trade with just GSW works is if we take back Wiggins and the only way we do it is for the Min pick.

    It could have been discussed already and the deal is contingent on him passing. May want to get it out of the way early incase they have to go another direction.

    Yeah... he was traded on the 13th and did his physical for the Nets on the 15th

    I'm not sure if it happens, but I just feel like every trade I've ever seen, the player does a physical with his new team 1, 2 sometimes 3 days after the trade. Players often figure out about trades just hours, minutes from it being announced, some figure out BY it being announced.

    Shams on NBATV

    Teams think they can get Dipo for a good young player and 2 SRP


    Denver and Boston favorites for Gordon.

    Sham Vs Woj

    Damn we better hope Woj is right lol

    What is a "good young player" these days. A fresh rookie who's shown nothing like Hampton? Is Ntilikina a good young player? This always seems like fluff words, let me know if that good young player is Quickley or Herro lol

    They can also move Oubre's expiring contract, it's big enough to make a Dipo trade easy in terms of salary matching.

    The Oladipo/Wood for Wiseman/Minny 1st still intrigues me.

    Rafael did sell high on Covington and shocked all of us.

    We'd probably have to include a couple of picks and take back Wiggins to get both Wiseman and the Minny 1st.

    You do know that literally EVERYBODY is a FA after 2022, right? They are not going to be happy campers where they are now. What did FA do the last time that happened? Stars want to play together, they want to win, and they want to control the direction of the organization. If you want to be a target for FA you have to clear the decks and have the RIGHT assets so you can give them the resources they need. Lavine is NOT a max player. Since when did Brooklyn or the Clippers or the Lakers or Miami have any hope in hell of winning anything before 2020 FA? Stars play the game of superteams where they call the shots and those destinations are occupied and its musical chairs once again. You have to be flexible with a LOT of firepower to be successful in FA. Ask Jerry West.

    Wiggins/Wiseman/Min 1st

    for

    Oladipo/Wood/Picks

    KPJ/Sterling/Wiggins/Tate/Wiseman and we get lucky and land the 1st and 4th picks in the draft. :D
