    I really hope we’re talking with Charlotte and Toronto the most, I hate Ainge, and you know he’d drag things out to the deadline just to screw us on purpose. I don’t like that proposed Sixers/Pistons deal at all really, but if they did it with no picks, as I assume the picks the Pistons are receiving aren’t ours or are 2nd rounders, it’d be hard to hate. Still, would leave us needing a guard to replace Russ.

    At this point, I am almost positive we're going to trade Russ. It seems we're quite active. Re: Harris -- he's a good player with legitimate size who can shoot well, and that's what we need. He's paid a lot of $$, sure, but he's a good fit. Harris is only 30 years old, can score from basically anywhere, has shot over 38% for 3 this year (and even better in some years, 39%, 40%+ on medium volume) while also being able to defend multiple positions. He plays much better SF than Rui, by the way.

    korkmaz is weird. he had two years where he shot about 40% from three on decent volume, then he dropped off a cliff. he's 6'7" and still only 25, so who knows?

    What's weirder is a 25 year old NBA player who 95% of NBA fans have never heard of has asked for a trade twice already.



    There should be a required relevancy filter required to ask for such things.

    Harris and Korkmaz deal so far sounds the best to me if we aren’t giving up any firsts. Both can shoot and would fit in just fine. Are people seriously worried about not having enough guards if we only move Brick?!
    We NEED to move them in order to save Hambone from himself.
    Plus, Austin can play many minutes as our backup PG. That used to be his natural position.
    Also, I don’t trust that whiny little troll Ainge, so screw him!

    That’s fine- I only really want The Goat back. LaVine is intriguing, but his knees scare me.

    I am pretty sure we are going to get Rozier. Either individually, with other Hornets players, or with other player(s) in a multi-team. His skillset and contract make too much sense for us both on the court and financially.

    Don’t think we will be dealing with Joe Tsai again soon.

    Maybe it could be some sort of good gesture by Tsai. Sort of like saying, "I didn't trade Kyrie to the Lakers because I hate Kyrie, not because I hate the Lakers". Sort of an opportunity to save face, as it stand ait could be perceived as a bad look.
