I retract my Ad for Kyrie. Not happening unless Kyrie would extend, which he won't.

interesting "Regarding team preferences, Boston is not a top target for Davis, sources said. There's a growing belief of uncertainty that Kyrie Irving will not re-sign with Boston, sources said, even though he vowed to do so at the beginning of the season." i'm calling ny the sleeper with la most likely. sorry for lack of punctuation, feeding little dude

What do you mean they cant do anything until July 1st? More assets open up? I've already suggested AD for Kyrie straight up From all reports AD has been a great guy for the city. If it floats he only wants to go to LA then all leverage is lost. Like you said, next few days will be interesting.

You are a little off on conleys numbers. He's basically untradable at this point. https://hoopshype.com/player/mike-conley/salary/ It try and get holiday for that offer all day long. Think they would laugh though.

I've been reading all the talking heads. The only other offer close to kyrie would be ben Simmons. O and a broken acl porzingas. Unless they want assets or Lakers that may or may not ever be all stars. Kyrie is by far the best player they can get unless they think they are draft geniuses.

That's exactly why if I'm celtics I say thank you for your service and flip him for a top 5 player.

Not happening.

I suggested last week. Kyrie straight up. Still think it's worth it. Rozier was great last year in playoffs.

What about the expiring contracts? What's the point of making the 2nd round and getting beat 4-1 and then 6 guys are no longer on the team and you literally got nothing from them. That's why I said, identify who you want here long term. It probably involves Thad but it's a business. If you make a gentleman's contract and day we'll bring you back on a 3 year deal and retire you a pacer but we are going to flip you for a first rounder right now.

What is Thad worth? These guys are all expiring contracts. This is no longer a deep playoff team. What would you suggest?

Check this. We have lots of interesting expiring contracts. Maybe pair OQuinn and Joseph to a playoff team looking for depth, or if Evans keeps rolling like he has here recently, someone looking for a scorer off the bench. https://hoopshype.com/salaries/indiana_pacers/ Bojan turns 30 in April.

I just think the writing is on the wall as far as a playoff run goes. It's tough because their is chemistry. If say identify who you want long term and let them get the playoff experience but beyond that, trade away. If Thad can pull a late 1st rounder you do it don't you?

Melo's camp said they have multiple options. I don't see it with the pacers but he would be a cheap 1 year contract for a "scorer". He'd most likely be a bust and I don't see it happening. I think he's waiting for a contender and content to workout on his own for now and forgo the season of travel. Pacers won't touch conely or gasol. Both have terrible contracts and you'd have to give up too much anyways. Some are talking about trading Thad who has nice value. I would entertain it and let him be in on the talks. Let him essentially choose where he goes and bring him back next year and let him retire a pacer in a few years.

Lebron has milage on those wheels. You give them basically whatever they ask for and take your chances with playoff Rondo, LeBron, Davis, probably Melo, who you could hide defensively with LeBron and Davis.

If I'm Lakers I go ahead and do it. They will still be able to put together a decent roster of guys getting waived near the deadline. Then next summer possibly add Khawi who just bought a 12 million dollar house in LA. With those 3, who cares about salary cap and they would have plenty of old vet ring chasers willing to join.

This is exactly what the guys on 97.5 said this morning. Wait till summer more offers more leverage.

You beat me Taylor

Ruptured quad tendon out for the season

I'm hoping it's just a dislocated kneecap you can come back fairly quickly after those. Question is is it the exact same knee that he has been dealing with previously?

Let me know on that MRI that I'm assuming was done first thing this morning if not last night.

We need a Pacers Insider

And then the emergence of khawi Leonard, another mvp. I do get what you are trying to say.

Dirk was 6th in voting that year but clearly killed in in the playoffs. The spurs had a 2 time mvp in Duncan and Robinson won one as well. The celtics have a nice blend. I will not be surprised to see them put this thing together this year and make the finals. Hopefully chemistry explodes in gs but it isnlt looking like it. They may actually be playing better than ever and getting better. I wonder if they aren't challenging themselves to go on a huge winning streak.
