Sweet jesus i thought the squawk was out of business.   It went down for a long time last time i was on here months back and i just seen someone mention it on realgm and came here to check if it was really back up.  Im glad to see it is i missed this place :)    Wish i would have found out alot sooner as i feel i've missed alot on here if it's been back up awhile now.  

With that said Supes i didn't know you had insiders to give you info thats pretty cool and i hope they keep you informed well.

I've been given good info. Ask me anything about the trade deadline. I can't say I know about most players around the league status and what not. What I can say is I know about all of the guys on the market, our guys and their rank, where we want to go as an organization, what we are looking for, and what not. I cannot talk about anyone we offered in terms of the offer and who. Please don't ask me who we offered. I can't answer. This is expected to be a slow deadline. The teams who are expected to be highly active this deadline are the Magic, Hawks, Knicks, Lakers, Sixers, Thunder, Pistons, Wizards, and Portland. A lot of teams are looking like CHA or TOR. Some teams are waiting till the offseason like BOS. Just not a lot of sellers this year and their asking price have been too high on avg. Teams expect to the prices to come down closer to the deadline. 

I was talking to a friend in the industry and I jokingly said to him, two 2nds is the new 1st with protections that turn into two 2nds. The value of the late 1st has went up and now getting a 1st from any team is EXTREMELY hard. I was told it will be extremely hard to get a 1st in this deadline. At least a real one. The player with the most trade value on the market is Luke Kennard. His rate is a late 1st and there is serious talk that DET might get it for him. DET is NOT rebuilding, they are retooling. They want players who fit their two way or 3/D potential profile like Toronto is doing. AKA players like Tony Snell. They really want one of the top PG's in this year's draft to pair with Rose like Griffin is paired with Sekou. They want to be deep and building the formula that worked for Toronto. 

 

Ask away. 

They might get a top lottery pick for Luke. Wow! OMG! 

[NBASupes]

So close, yet so far away. 

 

I still believe this trade could happen. Minny will have wait till the draft to get Russell though.

It would have helped us out no question.

[NBASupes]

Note: That source is wrong about John Collins. Atlanta hasn't decided yet on John Collins. That's why they would like to bring in a center and even then, they don't mind waiting till 2021 due to his cheap caphold and the quality of the 2021 FA market.

Minnesota needs to stop being thirsty for DLo and just make the trade smh.

Houston will likely do the deal no matter what. Parker has value and Houston will have options. They are hot on the trail for Mikal Bridges as well. Mikal is not publicly available but if PHX gets a great offer, they could trade him. DET asked about Bridges when talking about moving Kennard but found the price to be too high. 

[NBASupes]

Minny biggest advantage of having Cov is that he has the size and bulk plus the skill-set to better handle guys like Leonard and James. That's why his value is so high. 

[warcore]

@NBASupes in the above three team deal, do suspect us sending Len and Parker to HOU and picks to Minn? If as far as picks, I'd imagine the BKN?

[warcore]

Never mind I just read the article. I can't believe GSW turned down the BKN and MIN pick for someone they were planning on renting all along.

Brooklyn 1st round pick will always go to Houston. Houston can keep it or move it to a place of their choice for another player. Len is locked into going to HOU but if he doesn't go to HOU and OKC gets the deal, he will likely stay in ATL. 

Parker seems to be going to a 3rd or 4th team no matter what. He has interest around the league and the picks are appealing. This is even the case with OKC as well. Parker likely will not play for the Hawks this year. He will likely return this season as a member of a playoff team who needs a 6th man scorer which is what Parker is.
