    I would definitely take Wiggins off their hands if they gave us that pick.

    Hawks squak guy. Sounds like Stone is pretty bullish here. @treyk3 @Nook @Clutch

    Oladipo, Gordon, and Forniner are getting a lot of buzz but I was told the price is really high for them. Oladipo seems to be getting the most buzz. Memphis has been linked to him the most he said. Houston wants a top 10 protected 1st for VO.

    Houston is selling but outside of Tucker, I was told, not for cheap. Tucker is expected to be traded.

    I'd take Wiggins and personally drive Oladipo and PJ to SF if that pick was coming our way.

    That's honestly a better asset than anything we got in the Harden trade.

    Memphis is an out of nowhere team for a Dipo landing spot.

    Aside from a pick maybe the Rockets could be looking at Justise Winslow or DeAnthony Melton?

    I'd pay for the gas and the stop at Starbucks along the way---that is, you "fly", I buy.*

    * -- If I show Clutch the receipts, do I get "Kiss the Ring" membership status?

    Chris Bosh Caravan but we make Wiggins walk back to Houston and only return with a slip of paper that says Minnesota pick.

    Some news are fake news?

    I say this in a tone because I agree. Bunch are rumors passed as credible info. Hard to read between the lines.

    The other scout said Tucker, whose numbers are down across the board at age 35, “is somebody I could see those guys liking. Can hit corner threes, versatile defender.” The other scout said Tucker has declined, which is why he wouldn’t give up much for him.

    ▪ The scouts didn’t advocate signing free agent center DeMarcus Cousins. “I wouldn’t touch him,” one said. “He just jacks shots, totally undisciplined. He can rebound and occasionally make a three.”

    ▪ “Oladipo is not playing very well, plus there’s the injury history. I know he wants to go there. To me, he’s a $16 million player now, not a $33.7 million player” which would be his first-year salary if he gets a max contract this summer.

    With that contract, Wiggins can afford a ride to Houston.

    I hope their sources are right. I'm highly skeptical of this.

    You really think GSW will trade their #2 overall pick from just a year ago for Oladipo? That seems like fantasy.

    Makes sense, the Harden trade lingered so long because Stone wanted more.

    Also don’t be at all surprised if the Rockets bring in Brandon McCoy

    Don't get your hopes up, this may be just another Rox-floated rumor designed to make Miami anxious.

    Perhaps nude, with any NBA fan who wants lining the road and screaming "Shame" at him?

    Trade for Aaron Gordon.

    Nets: Tucker, House
    Magic: Dinwiddie
    Rockets: AG
