KAT is a much better offensive player than Atlanta Hawks era Moses Malone with his patented "miss the first attempt, grab the offensive rebound, hit the second attempt with a foul" goodness.

I was a young teen when we got Moses but even that first year with the stats, I felt like it held us back a lil, he was like Lou Will, Father Time had caught up.

Nuggets looking for a wing

Amid mounting injuries, the Denver Nuggets are actively searching for ways to improve their roster ahead of the trade deadline, two sources told The Denver Post. With long-term injuries to both Michael Porter Jr. and P.J. Dozier, the Nuggets’ primary target is a wing, one source said. Outside of Will Barton, who can play small forward but is more a traditional shooting guard, the Nuggets’ roster is devoid of any true wings.

I like Denver as a trade partner. I like Facu a lot. Monte Morris is solid and Jeff Green.

These names aren't in any trade talk: Capela, Trae, Kevin, and Okongwu. But that's all. Just those four and Clint can't be moved this year is the only reason why he isn't on the block period.

They need to trade for Craig again.

Brogdon from Indy can’t be traded this year either

Who's Facu?  That little guard?

UPDATE:

@thecampster

 

I got an update on the Lakers and this is good. Westbrook been pulled from the trade block. Until a team is willing to do a deal and it's an upgrade for Russ, they aren't doing a deal is what I was told. 

Bron nor AD is on the block but if they did trade one, it would not be AD, it would be LeBron. If there were to do a trade, they want a young player with very good potential. A good expiring contract. And a lot of draft picks and swaps. 

The names of teams they would be willing to listen to are the Cavs, Heat, Hawks, and Hornets. I was told Cam Reddish is a player of interest for LA in general. They have reach out but didn't meet Atlanta's wants for Reddish. 

Once again, LeBron is not available nor is AD. Just off the presser. 

Also LA tried to make a deal with SAC to take on Russell Westbrook and they got rejected is what he was told. 

He was told AD is not available at any and all cost but Bron isn't available right now. That is much different than this morning or last week. Bron was at all cost. Not sure what changed.

So a word on holding info and credibility.  I got the generic info I previously shared and questioned. I got the above info/update Monday.  But when I heard from another person a very similar story today is when I started reaching out to people, got some confirmation (FYI, a third version of the same info) I reached out to Supes who seemed to have another version of the same story. I'm assuming he did similar due diligence before posting. I hear a good bit and try to vet it before sharing due to obvious fears for my own credibility. Sometimes works both ways. You hold something that turns out to be true and then can't claim it and you share something you aren't sure about and get burned.

With the variance in what I'm hearing (2 people out of market), I'm guessing there is a lot of testing the waters going on right now from TS and other GMs. I'm expecting Social media to blow up tonight or tomorrow.

 

1 weird note: and I had to get the okay to share this but there is one small point Supes and I differ.  I heard that the Lakers would make anyone available at the right price. They have concerns about their internal chemistry. Feelers for both AD and Lebron were floated.

 

My guy told me today when some of this started getting on social media that Travis had been working on a trade for KAT for over a year at this point. When their GM got fired out of nowhere before this season started it put the talks into hiatus until somewhat recently when Travis started to make calls. Minnesota wants JC in any trade for KAT. So my dream of pairing KAT and JC together will never happen unless Travis can pull some magic out of his hat.  The key note to me on this is that Travis apparently has always wanted to put KAT and Trae together and just needed Minnesota to come around to a soft rebuild plan. It sounds like Minnesota is now willing to move out their big names (Ant is going nowhere, he is who the rebuild will be based around) for the right price. 

I talked privately with someone on here about the other trade rumor my guy was telling me about. The problem with this trade is that the guy would be a hand in glove fit for us but the other team refuses to trade him. My update today from my source said that team is basically refusing to trade either of the two names rumored to be on the block. And one of those names is someone Travis would love to have but if the other team won't talk trade then there's nothing to discuss.

I can't stress enough that my source made it very clear the last two days that Travis's talking on the radio was not a ploy to get the players motivated. Travis has ALREADY had private talks with certain guys and so has the coaching staff. Now Travis is putting together players he likes with players he's ready to trade in order to make this team better. Travis isn't a GM to do public antics to speak to a locker room. He's already spoken to them. They didn't get the message. That message was more for the FANS to realize some trades could be on the way and to get ready. We could see some players we thought were core going out the door if need be to get some star power coming back.

I want this just for the comedic relief of listening to Nique saying f*** you on air.

I love Moses but we literally got him on the last legs of his career. If we had gotten Houston or Philly Moses Nique would have a ring or two. But we didn't. KAT is a significantly better player at this stage in his career than Moses was when he signed here.

I dont know the framework of the Indy one but I would imagine something like this

2a. I haven't heard of picks yet but I am sure we will offer that too if a trade is made.

2b. A package around Reddish.

3. Me too. He was off limits this summer. Makes me think OKC maybe further away more than they thought. The idea was he would be there Devin Booker is what I was told in the past. 

You don't know the framework for the trade because the trade does not exist. Brogdon can't be traded until the summer so they would not be talking about a player 6 months in advance who can't help right now. Your rumors are constantly false and never accurate.

You might be right with Malcolm. As I said, I didn't get the framework meaning I dont know what ended or how the talks began. 

He's proven himself to be accurate over the years. You dont have to be here if you don't want to be here. I didn't @ you once.

That's not true. Well, yes, Brogdon can't be traded until the offseason is true but the rest is not. Teams can easily take a year or more in talks before finally agreeing to a trade or moving on from it. It wouldn't shock me if Travis was having exploratory talks with Indiana over Brogdon with the idea of a trade over the offseason. 

And just to back up @NBASupes his stuff is legit. I hear a lot of what he hears from my Hawks source and that source is not Supes or campster.

I am right about Malcolm because he can't be traded. And literally any person that claims to have "sources" would know that. Even a person with fake sources would check to see if they could be traded lol

You didn't @ me but I am tired of reading you post stuff every month and NONE of it ever coming true. You said the hawks were interested in trading back in the draft...nothing happened. Time and time again you make these long paragraphs that gets the community riled up and hyped and never once has it ever panned out

At this point, my guy has been proven. Most here like yourself know that. If @Mikey doesn't want to be here, he doesn't have to be here. He's not Woj. He's not breaking trades. He's breaking trade talks and what's being said behind the scenes if he gets access to.

You can back him all you want but hes like 0/100 on his last couple mega posts. Dating back to the draft when he said the hawks wanted mobley and were trying to trade up. Time and time again hes never right.

Also heres a nugget you guys are forgetting on the brogdon front...nate coached him already and brogdon hated him and the system he ran. Though he is a solid fit next to trae he would not want to come here.

If you read these threads month to month, you would know a good portion comes true.
