On kfan it was suggested Phoniex #6 for Teague and #11 to free up space.
I laughed so hard.

Presumably he is stuck in his elevator after he never showed up to volunteer at a homeless shelter.

And I rant every year that Mardy Collins cost us AI because he got into a fight which led to Melo throwing swings and getting banned for a few games, which made George Karl pull the trigger to acquire AI.Sergeant Rubetube wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 8:39 pmI'm still SEETHING that this never got done.

Yep. Sixers owner nixed the deal if I remember correctly. Billy King and Kevin McHale had an agreement... pretty sure it was like a Randy Foye/Ricky Davis/more for AI.witljon wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 8:22 pmDidn't back in the day, Allen Iverson want to be traded here to play with Kevin Garnett?HeHateMe wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 1:54 pmTwo years ago Kyrie had Minnesota on his list!Small Hands wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 1:51 pm Has anyone ever said "I want to be traded to the Wolves"?

Not sure if this was posted, but inside it says this...
D'Angelo Russell is expected to have one of the NBA's more intriguing restricted free agencies in recent memory as he's coming off an All-Star appearance, but the Brooklyn Nets also have interest in other free agents such as Kyrie Irving.
Beyond the Nets, Irving is expected to receive interest from the Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic, Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers.

Those are the four teams in the Shams article mentioned for Russell. Wonder if there is a typo.kilkenny wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 10:18 am Not sure if this was posted, but inside it says this...

Ideally the Nets renounce rights to all free agents, then sign Kyrie and Butler.Hoop Dreams wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:50 pmThere's a lot of rumors connecting Kyrie Irving to Brooklyn right now which could force Russel out. I guess we'll see if Rosas can get creative.

Not if we want him. Then we need to move salary in a deal to be able to pay him.HeHateMe wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 10:39 amIdeally the Nets renounce rights to all free agents, then sign Kyrie and Butler.Hoop Dreams wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2019 6:50 pmThere's a lot of rumors connecting Kyrie Irving to Brooklyn right now which could force Russel out.

Should have got him for Butler but Thibs preffered a 28 year old that would improve the 2019 win total by five games.

The odds of us dumping Teague or Gorgs or even Wigs and getting anything but screwed because we want no money back is zip. The odds that Russel tries to force a deal to Towns team and we can pay less is far greater. Still not good but 50 times as good.

Lots of moving parts in that offer above.. draft is coming up soon and Russell can't be dealt until the new league year. The Nets are way under the cap... my assumption is they'll go hunting for the big fish first before deciding what to do with Russell.OliverMiller wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 12:42 pm11, Saric, and 19 million expiring is crap?HeHateMe wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 12:10 pmI don't see the Nets looking at the Wolves and saying.. yep, let's take some of their crap so we can give them Russell.Thrillkill wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 11:53 am

Oh definitely don't think anything will happen right away, just saying the Wolves have plenty of assets that would be interesting in a sign and trade.HeHateMe wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2019 12:45 pmLots of moving parts in that offer above.. draft is coming up soon and Russell can't be dealt until the new league year.

Not Covington, 11, Saric, etc. But if they preferred him in place of other assets then yes.
