Chris Vivlamore@CVivlamoreAJC After Hawks moved two of three second-round picks - Nos. 41 and 44 - the other, No. 35, is also in play. Can we get this pick without fucking it up?
Silver Screen & Roll@LakersSBN The Timberwolves, Hawks, Celtics and Bulls are reportedly pursuing the No. 4 pick, meaning they could potentially join the Anthony Davis trade with the Lakers depending on how things shake out. RealGM@RealGM Pelicans Targeting Veteran Stretch Big In Exchange For No. 4 Kevin Love/Cavs?
We have movement Adrian Wojnarowski@wojespn Atlanta has acquired New Orleans No. 4 pick in the draft for No. 8 and 17 and 35, league sources tell ESPN. Pelicans are sending Solomon Hill, No. 57 pick and a future second-round pick.
Adrian Wojnarowski@wojespn Atlanta is pursuing Virginia's DeAndre Hunter with the No. 4 pick, league sources tell ESPN. Atlanta GM Travis Schlenk makes a big move in lottery second year in a row to get his man. Last year, it was Trae Young. This time, DeAndre Hunter
Good move by ATL's GM. They don't need all those picks and young players. Young players get you fired. Get 2 or 3 core young guys to grow together and fill in with vets around them. Win some games. Griffin is going to have to shed some of those young guys as well at some point over the next couple years
Eric Pincus@EricPincus So the Pelicans have two pending trades heading into July - they could be folded into one with the addition of the Lakers players LA needs to get to another max. Up to the Pelicans to play ball there, and Hawks
Suns dump Warren and trade back to #11 losing out on White/Garland? D'Lo to the Suns. They must know something.
Bobby Marks@BobbyMarks42 The New Orleans trade of no. 4 to Atlanta should clear the air that there was no confusion on the Lakers part when it came to the timing of the Anthony Davis trade to New Orleans, a source confirms to ESPN.
Some analyst called DLo to the Suns like a week ago. It makes sense. His BFF Booker may be the only noteworthy star that wants to play with him. His dumb ass, out there getting detained at the airport, trying to hide weed in a container of ice tea. Still with the dumb shit
I still can't help but think empty stats when I hear Booker's name. Yuck. Suns will be back in the top 5 next year.
Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson@ScoopB Lakers are keeping an eye on CP3 if he’ traded and gets bought out. If that happens, Lakers are interested in signing for vet minimum Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson@ScoopB Kawhi Leonard is the main free agent target of the Los Angeles Lakers now. Kevin Durant’s injury obviously changed things. Source: “KD was always Lakers’ #1 choice even over Kawhi, because of the marketing, which Jeanie Buss was huge on. But obviously, Kawhi is now their man.”
They could trade back a worse contract as a salary dump. Oh wait, there probably isn't a worse contract in the NBA.
There are three years left on that awful contract. Its been only 1 year. Why would you buy out such a massive contract after just 1 year. Eat 3 years of that mess?
