    I'd take back the 2nd rounders then. Deng/Nance Jr./2020 1st (Top 5 protected) for Quincy Acy.

    But maybe the Nets aren't eager to pay both our albatross contracts. :D

    carroll had two years, 30 million left on his deal. deng has 3 years 54 million (or more) left on his. it took a first and two seconds to move him, right. just trying to calibrate the market next year, when fewer teams will have space to absorb such a contract...it's going to be costly to move him.

    I'm mostly kidding abeer. We already tried to offer an unprotected 1st to move Deng and nobody bit... I think next summer will be slightly easier, but overall I think it takes 2 picks or 1 pick and a prospect and maybe a 2nd or two to move Deng. He's going to be a real thorn. Next summer should be slightly easier to move him though with less time on the deal.

    Maybe just Bosh him? That boob job can be a reason he is no longer fit to play

    i'm wondering if the FO might start considering this if deng has another injury. if rob's being celebrated for rule-bending, getting deng to admit he's medically retired would be a coup.

    of course, we'd get basketball reason-ed again...

    I didn't notice any important changes in FA status from yesterday to now, except that Porter is definitely going back to Washington.

    Apparently he covers the Lakers through Amico Hoops.com - from Twitter. No idea on the legitimacy.

    Still highly doubtful KCP takes a one year deal, unfortunately. I feel like the Lakers best shot would've been a quick signing after he became an UFA. Him waiting appears to be a sign that he's waiting for long-term contract bids from Brooklyn & Atanta after their RFA money isn't tied up anymore.

    for all we know, the lakers have a standing one-year 17 million offer for kcp. it's just not in the press.

    If Nets are out of the KCP market, I think there is a good chance he takes a 1 year deal. He isn't going to get 20+ a year on a long term contract at this point. Since he became a unrestricted FA so late its best he just takes the highest 1 year offer and hold off until next year.

    I would be shocked if that's not the case. I think they're waiting to see if the Nets blow out with a 100 million dollar deal, but the longer this goes on I believe the Lakers have a better shot. Why hasn't he already gotten the big offer? Some of that is the Porter situation but that's been resolved I think yesterday? News should be coming soon.

    Atlanta has cap space and it is apparently where KCP is from....

    Considering the last fiasco with home grown Dwight .... ATL might not just jump at forking over a $100mm/4 yr deal

    If we signed KCP, I wouldn't count on him much offensively; he's not a liability, but he isn't very efficient.

    However, defensively, he can make a big difference amd take on the tougher defensive assignments.

    We'll see. I'm not holding my breath but something interesting is happening when he hasn't been thrown a big deal yet. I don't think he makes or breaks things for us, but would be a good deal.

    I'm also curious if Atlanta spends the money on him. I know he's more of a 2 way player than Hardaway, but he's also looking for even more money. I'm just not sure they throw the cash at him at this point.
