GS is spilling the beans.

Sacramento-Milwaukee-Minny are working on a blockbuster three team deal with Middleton, LaMelo Ball, Harrison Barnes, Bogdan SnT, Bledsoe, and Culver as a filler. 

Middleton was made available to Atlanta, Chicago, GS, and Minny but Minny is the only one where they found the terms to be reasonable. 

Holiday to MIN is unlikely as he wants to go to a contender. GS doesn't like the terms for Holiday and Ball would have to also be there. GS likes Wiggins and they think he's an asset and not a major liability which other teams don't agree. 

Boston is aggressively pursuing more depth and they are targeting Tristian Thompson in FA. This is looking to signal an end to Gordon Hayward. Larry Nance Jr. Is seen to be a trade target for Boston and several others like Dallas. 

Brooklyn will have to move LeVert plus Dinwiddle to land Holiday. NO is not desperate to move Jrue and he wants to return to New Orleans. 

Its looking more and more like business as usual.  Teams will be looking to unload their bloated contracts and Schlenk will gladly oblige.  Once again, discounted players who can still play are looking to play for contenders not Atlanta.  All this talk of a significant players coming to Atlanta is just smoke and mirrors once again.   Heck, the Hawks might be even desperate enough to consider resigning Bembry.

Huh? Atlanta been one of the most active teams on the market

Where are you getting this?

I heard Sacramento is very disappointed in Marvin Bagley's work ethic/development and would rather move on at this point.

He just "knows."

Peo is the current board Eeyore, replacing Hotlanta, who replaced Walter. 

The balance of the board is not complete without at least one on hand to keep the scales level.

Idk...trading Middleton seems less than optimal for Milwaukee. Maybe Bud will screw this up so bad Giannis walks in a year.... Wishful thinking I'm sure.

They been looking all over for a PG. The issue they are having is everyone who has one doesn't want to get rid of one. Dennis Schröder who is available is no different than Bledsoe. They are seeking an upgrade. 

While I am not sure Ball is an upgrade at this stage, getting him does cover them well if Giannis walks. Gotta protect your franchise but you gotta have something to sell to Giannis as well. If Ball has a tremendous rookie year, he might think twice and stay to see how this plays out.

There is absolutely no way ball stays in Milwaukee long term.

Big risk - Ball could have a huge year, but more often than not, rookies aren't great. That's a HUGE gamble in a contract year with the best player in the league. Go big or go home I guess.

That is my prediction.  I just don't see anything changing with the Hawks regardless of who the front office talks too.

Let me ask about this because I'd gladly take Bagley.

Its cap. His work ethic is actually been praised. It's his ability to stay healthy that's questioned 

[thecampster]

Given his production, he's worth a mid-level first at this point (or more if you believe he's healthy). He has length which I hear is hard to teach.

So is it:

#1, Bogdon SnT and Barnes to Bucks

Bledsoe and Culver to Kings

Middleton to Minny
