    nope, it appears they are still trying to make some minor moves before making it official. only ingram and sabonis remain unsigned of the 1st rounders

    An OKC and a Laker rookie are the only ones unsigned. I know nobody wants to think about this trade idea, but I'm a growing concerned with what I'm seeing.

    It's deeply concerning. I don't want to lose Ingram, probably JC, and worse ZUbac. Mitch will get stripped clean again, this time by Presti

    the only deal in which mitch has ever been stripped clean was the nash deal, and that was only because of a series of highly unlikely and very unfortunate events. had nash not essentially gone down with a career-ending injury prior to ever playing a real game and kobe not torn his achilles that year, those picks going to phx would have been mid to late firsts. just crap luck there.

    in other words, i trust that mitch won't get burned in a trade.

    Gary Payton deal seemed minor but he lost a pick there who turned out to be Rondo I think. And CL meltdown on losing Marcus Banks lol.

    I don't know but I don't really think FO is considering trading him. I may be wrong but wouldn't they have to wait 30 days until they can trade him anyway? I just don't think it makes sense to wait this long to sign him then turn around and have to wait another 30 days before he becomes eligible to be traded.

    I'm sure its just that the kid has been busy with team usa and what not. I doubt we're gonna give up our entire young core for westbrook... We probably still wouldn't be very good with Westbrook.

    We can trade him before he signs. Once he signs we have to wait 30 days. The whole point is if he hasn't signed yet there's something weird going on.

    Dav the Team USA stuff ended over a week ago already.

    We better trade for George somehow. We'll get Russ for "free" next summer...

    I'm always all for trading 1 or 2 of the kids for a star like RWB, but not in the Dwight scenario. Get an extension or don't even think about it. I don't care if it's Ingram for RWB straight up.

    The most I give for a 1-year rental is Clarkson. Forget about our Top 3 prospects.

    I'm not worried at all about Ingram possibly being traded.

    Not going to happen.

    I don't know what's going on, but it seems weird. With or without Ingram signed, we have cap space. The idea that we haven't signed him yet because we want slightly more cap room doesn't make much sense to me considering that there aren't any quality free agents left and we don't have any roster spots that we'd need to fill with another highly paid free agent.

    The ability to take back more in trade than going out can be important. The equality of dollar amounts on contracts don't matter if you have cap space.

    Nothing probably happens, but I bet they remain open to making the "right" deal if it presents itself.

    i've been thinking along sirron's lines for a while, but man, it's awfully late in the offseason not to have signed ingram. you know his agent just wants ink on paper, so he has to have been given a reason for the delay.

    it's getting super weird, though.

    Ingram has already commented on it. He tweeted something like "Media want to make a story." I'm sure it's fine. Okay. I'm 90% sure.
