According to some rumors, the Nets and the Bucks are showing interest in Demar DeRozan. While he might not be a main scoring option in any of those teams, he can be a good complementary option that could add another layer of offense when either the main options go cold or they miss playing time.

While he might not be a main scoring option in any of those teams, he can be a good complementary option that could add another layer of offense when either the main options go cold or they miss playing time. There are quite a few possible Nets trades I'd like. Bucks would be harder with their salary situation plus getting anything I think the Spurs would want. Bledsoe pretty much has to be involved and we're really set on guards. Either way pretty sure DeRozan won't be a Spur next season, there's been more than one report he'd rather go elsewhere. Can't blame him if true, he didn't ask to come here and left a championship team. Regardless he's a great team guy and has done everything they've asked of him, I'd wish him the best. If I had to pick I'd rather use him in a deal to move up some in the draft. There's reports the Hawks are willing to trade down if they could get someone that would help them make a playoff run. Also seen some rumbling that DeMar would like to be reunited with Dwayne Casey in Detroit. Both those teams have the cap to absorb DeMar outright.

Derozan could be interesting next to Giannis... but then they鈥檇 need every single other person on the floor to be a 3 pt sharpshooter.

Which they already have but that is also their problem DeMar is a great fit for Giannis because he can get to the basket and his midrange shot is his bread and butter. That opens up the floor for Giannis because teams have to honor the driver and with Giannis being a cut man, you just made him more deadly

It's a really strange look for a guy who: - isn't a consensus first overall pick (or consensus top-three pick, for that matter) - played three games in his college basketball career - has already dealt with shoulder and ankle injuries during his brief (emphasis on brief) tenure at Memphis to be dictating where he does and doesn't want to be selected in the NBA Draft. As has already been said, Minnesota probably has zero interest in him considering they already have a 24-year-old franchise center, so why draw attention to yourself by even entertaining this conversation?

NBA/Silver wants to keep the play in tourny for the last two seeds of the conference

NBA/Silver wants to keep the play in tourny for the last two seeds of the conference They're trying to turn those last games before the playoffs start, which are just shitfests, into actual watchable games. I get it. But much like the NCAA play-ins, you win the position to get beat up by a top seed. Only the gap in the NBA is even wider. I don't think it makes any difference either way. It's just made-up stakes to make games seem like they're a big deal. Silver is also trying his ass off to make the season start before Christmas. What an idiot. You wait 5 weeks (for no reason) to even do the draft, then you want to cram an entire off-season into the next 5 weeks. There's already rumors that guys have deals in place. Not that the NBA is above tampering, as there have been more than a few wink and nod deals and even outright tampering for a while. But they're basically making it necessary this year. Still haven't set a date for FA.

Still haven't set a date for FA. The obvious thing for the play in is more revenue for the NBA which is the big importance. Still going watch the 7th and 8th seeds get stomped but NBA gets more money with play in games Yeah, this is Silver first big f*** up. This should been written in stone before y'all left the bubble. You had more then enough time to figure shit out. Draft should have been 2-3 weeks tops after the finals and you would had all Nov and the first two weeks of December for FA and be on point to start the season Dec 22 like you wanted Season most likely won't start until 2nd week of Jan and everyone is saying 72 games minimum. They want that revenue back

They want that revenue back聽 The logistics for them and the NHL starting a full season when they are trying to is a real uphill battle, given it's bascially our real winter months when the cold/flu is going around in Dec/Jan/Feb. But draft/FA was a lay-up that didn't need to be this slow or complicated. NFL did a draft on time at the BEGINNING of the pandemic when everything was seriously shut down. Pushing yours back 7 months later is inexcusable. They managed the shutdown and the bubble and social issues masterfully, and that shit is the hard part. The draft and FA is the easiest shit on their docket and they are blowing it. It's a completely unnecessary shitshow.

The draft and FA is the easiest shit on their docket and they are blowing it. It's a completely unnecessary shitshow. Both leagues are trying to wait it out and stretch the offseason to find a way to get fans into arenas聽 That I can understand. The gate is ridiculously important to sports, especially the NBA and NHL. The NHL because they're niche and the NBA because their lack of hard team profits have been circumvented by their ridiculous franchise valuations. Owners have no problem breaking even for the year if the team they bought for a few hundred million dollars will be valued at 1-1.5B. But that's when there was a gate. But they could have had the draft by now and started FA. NHL did and will almost assuredly start after the NBA. NHL may not even start til February or later. Speaking of the draft tho, what's with all the unrealistic LaMelo to the Knicks talk?

The draft is f***ed right now Everyone wants to trade so a bunch of things are getting thrown out there. Wolves kind of want to trade but if they don't Edwards is the pick. Warriors kind of want to trade but is either looking at Obi Toppin or James Wiseman. Hornets aren't moving. Everything else after that is up in the air Knicks best chance at getting LaMelo is maybe through a Warriors deal. Flip their pick, Knox, Ntilikina and Randle for Wiggins and the number 2 pick. Knicks can absorb Wiggins contract and Warriors would only be obligated to Randle for one more year along with young pieces and a top 10 pick is probably the best trade in my head that makes sense outside of having to deal Robinson which I doubt they doing

If they had the 4/5 pick, they'd be a slam dunk to deal with GS. As is, the deals are not exactly enticing or just plain too much with GS. They shouldn't trade Mitch, but GS shouldn't essentially trade Russell for #8, Frank, and cap space. Knox is a nothing guy IMO.

Knox is the same guy he came in the league as which is unfortunate but expected. Frank is also a nothing guy but I keep preaching that they should stop trying make a PG. Turn him into F, build muscle up and just focus on corner 3's. He's be another Shumpert but they keep trying make him a PG If the Knicks are lucky, they may get Haliburton or Hayes to fall to them. They are looking at Rj Hampton but he's a reach at number 8. If anything they move back but with the pieces they got I can't see them moving up, at least not in the top 3 to grab LaMelo

Warriors need depth like him and Randle, but not sure that is the best return on #2, even in a down draft. I still think Hayes goes top 5. I've always had Haliburton or Anthony to Knicks, and I think that's how it shakes out though Anthony seems to be falling further in recent mocks. Not sure I'd write him off yet though, esp in this class. Then again, look at how far MPJ fell.

Around the 14 range is better for him if the Knicks want to grab him if they move back. I'd take the chance on him but I doubt they will Assuming neither Warriors or Wolves trade their picks, this draft can get crazy after 3. Their is solid players who can become good and good players who may turn out to be bums so shit is up in the air
