     Why is it taking so long for the John Collins trade to be made official?  I would have figured it would have been announced earlier today.   

It might be pulled into another trade.

Could be ATL keeping it open until another trade. No use in rushing to close it. 

My guess is they are keeping it open because there is one or a few frameworks they have pending and one might end up being a trade.

Sources expect Celtics, Jaylen Brown to agree on super-max deal

But the Celtics are not shopping their All-NBA forward. They do not intend to make a low-ball offer to him. There have just been other matters for Jaylen Brown’s camp and the Celtics to handle first. Sure, there will be some negotiations regarding incentives, but league sources continue to insist that Brown and the Celtics will eventually agree on a super-max deal. Sources said the sides are expected to talk during the Las Vegas summer league, which begins Friday.

He needs to come back. No one plays the long winded, contrarian, intellectual foil as good as him.

[GameTime]

Fun to be a Hawks fan right now. Murray signing for 29 million and we get one of these (All rumors of course folks)

We got plenty of windbags to fill that role around here.

You know who has been awfully quite during all of this?  Embiid. He has given Philly everything and now James is about to walk out of the door on him. Philly ready to start a new process?

People hate on him, but(healthy) PG will help you finish games because of his ability to control the tempo. In ATL finishing games is our number 1 problem...

Siakam is erratic and goes 100 mph all the time with no understanding of tempo lol...

Plus PG is just an efficient MF.

I was just throwing his name into the mix.. 

Siakam will help you win a lot during the season because of his unique style and 100% effort he plays with all game, but in the playoffs it’s about execution and half court ball.

PG is a master at halfcourt ball at this point and great at executing

A healthy PG moves the needle more than Siakam does imo...

So numerous burner accounts in use by NBA agents, trying to light fires under front offices, fan bases. If the twitter poster is not a nationally recognized figure, do not believe it. NBA not happy right now with this negotiation tactic and is considering action.

 

Do you think actual team associates may be doing some of this too?

[thecampster]

Dunno, but its been super evident this year and the league isn't having any of it.
