By not leaked, could it mean a player/team that is off the radar? (Not Toronto, Minnesota, Boston, etc.)

The DJM trade was leaked for weeks. This sounds like Siakam.

[txsting]

However, i would prefer a similar framework to bring back KAT.  Modern ball requires a frontcourt 3pt threat, IMO.  I'm secretly hoping for this instead of Siakam.

 I view OO similar to how you view Horford.

Why are we helping Toronto and Dallas, again?  Toronto just lost their starting PG.  They have a much more glaring hole than we do.  We should be in a negotiating position of strength.  I’d rather watch Mark Cuban continue to be disappointed.  Capela would be a great fit for them. 

You’re right. Maybe we should just ask them to give us Siakam next. No matching salaries, nothing. Just give him to us.

Wait!  What?  A new / different trade?  In the next few days?  Now you have me wondering, "What does Sothron know?"  There is something new in the wind and the unexpected is out there!  Who?  What?  When?  Where?

We are all consumed with this trade that may or may not happen.  Then Sothron slipps this in!!

[txsting]

Soth - does potential trade require the Collins/Gay deal to be completed first?  We might need that salary to make something work.

This one reply will add another 50 pages to this topic before we even have this trade announced.

Funny — We don’t need to deal.  Take what we offer or have a good day.  Outside of Lillard, what lead guard is available better than Murray?

But haven’t we heard Siakam rumored for a while?  Siakam wouldn’t surprise anyone.

We've been hearing talks of Kat, Siakam, JB - wouldn't be surprised if it was either of them

[Sothron]

I've shared what I have been cleared to share. From what I can tell it seems we are waiting on the other team(s) to see the usual planned media leaks to warn/excite a fanbase.

It's been about a couple weeks. The DJM deal didn't surprise anyone. That is where I was getting at. Legitimate reporters were reporting talks for weeks like they have with this Siakam ordeal. Looks like it will end soon. I hope I'm wrong. Though I really like Siakam, I prefer KAT.

With what you know, do you like what you hear?

What exactly did you share.. just that a trade exists? I'm confused.

Both are okay as long as we don't send DJM, AJ, JJ, or OO, or Trae.

You better hope we outscore everyone we play if we get KAT, because defense will continue to be a significant issue.

"From what I am hearing we should emphasis SHOULD have a trade announced over the next few days that hasn't been announced/leaked already"

Feels like more than just exists, pretty much confirmed, and tying up loose ends for the trade is what it sounded like

I actually like a OO-KAT duo. They compliment each other well.

[JTB]

@Sothron on a scale from 1-10 how much do you like the trade ?

Don’t answer if you’re unable to. I would understand.

They do. People who hate KAT on this board never actually watch him play. Minnesota has finished well in defense the last two seasons with KAT playing a big role in that. He and OO would be a great duo together.
