    Small (lack of) update from today's meeting: I texted about an hour ago for an update, and was told that things on the AEG side are confidential for now. This was from a long-time colleague/friend, so if he's saying that, then it must be pretty serious and things will probably be tight lipped for the near future. If I get anything more I'll let you know.

    So Kyrie to NY/BK is starting to pick up steam.



    This obviously impacts DLo and maybe the Suns or Chicago targeting him, which then impacts their 6th & 7th picks in a potential Zo 3way for AD. Also if Ky is out for the Lakers, maybe Zo is more valuable for us to keep now, even in an AD trade.

    Anyways, the free agency domino game is going to be wild this summer.

    Kyrie was my realistic target. Bad news. We don't have a shot at the rest, imo.

    agreed; this provides a little more justification for going all-in for AD...

    Yeah. Absent some miracle with Kawhi I feel like we're going to whiff on the major guys out there. Hoping we've got some solid back up moves in mind but not confident.

    All-in AD trade leaves us with some wiggle room to bring in one or two starters, which we'll need!

    I actually think he's going to end up with us.

    Right. And if we do it right and target solid guys they would still be moveable later on should someone be interested in coming here as I believe you talked about earlier today.

    Biggest thing is that hopefully the one year deal thing is at its end. Just can't build a team that way.

    Again, smart signings with contracts that can be moved later on if someone becomes available.

    Yep. Spread the rest of the money on guys like the PJ Tuckers of the world, and let's roll...

    Is Ariza an FA?

    With the way we scout, I am sure we can find some gems in the draft, too

    I actually think there's a chance we make multiple deals. One package to get AD and the other using any young guy left to bring in someone else. We will see though.

    The front office has options but zero confidence in their ability to execute.

    Yeah he is. We should be looking at both of them.

    Look, just get AD here, IMO. One step at a time...
