The Memphis Grizzlies are escalating trade talks involving Mike Conley Jr., league sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic.

The Utah Jazz are considered a frontrunner to acquire Conley as they have had ongoing discussions. Utah and Memphis also had trade discussions involving Conley at the deadline.

Other reports in the media have linked the Jazz with D'Angelo Russell.

Rubio is a FA too. Is fade saying this is a sign and trade? I wouldn’t do it regardless because I’m over Rubio.

Chris Grenham: Woj says on @SportsCenter that the Celtics are “almost to the point of resignation” that Kyrie is going to leave. Also reaffirmed that the Celtics will try to trade at least one of their three first-round picks.

They’re better off throwing money at Rozier anyways.

Give them Saric for one.

[Sid Hartman]

Please stop with the Rubio pipedreams...we need shooters in the worst way not Ricky and his broke ass flat set shot.

[witljon]

Probably makes Kawhi staying east more likely?

....or increases his chances of signing with the Lakers.

The Celtics have been holding these picks for what seems like ever. Man they seem to have really pissed away a golden opportunity to dominate. The East has caught up to them talent wise, and with losing Kyrie and a bad deal for the stiff from Utah they really screwed the pooch.

I was sick of hearing about Ainge and what a genius he is, time for him to cash in the chips. The only difference is now they aren’t using those picks to go over the top, they need to use them just to stay relevant.

Al Horford will not exercise the $30.1M option on his 2019-20 contract and become an unrestricted free agent, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Losing both Horford and Kyrie Irving via free agency, without receiving anything in return, would be a brutal blow for Boston. Horford, who is still extremely effective on both ends of the floor, has been a crucial contributor for the Celtics. However, Wojnarowski does note that Horford and the Celtics both have an interest in working toward a new deal in July. Stay tuned.

Dumbfounded

[irishman89]

No idea how Ainge has a job.

You'd think it's 95% he re-signs but does anyone think Towns could get him to come here? Have to do some kind of sign and trade but Horford is like his mentor right?

That's odd because on the ESPN article it says the opposite and it was written by WOj.

Boston Celtics All-Star center Al Horford will decline to exercise his $30.1 million option for the 2019-20 season and seek to leave the franchise as an unrestricted free agent this summer, league sources told ESPN.

Talks on a new deal with the Celtics have perished, with too great of a gulf between what the Celtics are willing to offer and what Horford wants on a long-term deal, league sources said.

Celtics general manager Danny Ainge and Horford's agent, Jason Glushon, aren't expected to restart talks again, league sources said. Horford is entering free agency with the full expectation that his three-year Celtics career has ended, sources said.

I read the perfect Ainge tweet earlier.

Something like "Boston has been more focused on winning trades than winning championships."

Gross. He's 34 and never really been that good. He is a decent player that has been highly overvalued.

Horford's always been good. He's just never been flashy.

But you hate everything, so there's that, I guess.

The guys Tube loves is kind of intersting. He's a big fan of guys like Carmelo, Boogie, and Dwight Howard. So pretty much losers who put up high raw stats that don't contribute to winning. I don't get it.

Horford is great. He took a small step back last season because of age but he’s probably the 2nd best defensive big in the NBA behind Embiid in terms of doing everything. Protecting the rim, guarding the pnr, knowing when to drop and when to hedge. Best help defender in the NBA for awhile. If you think he’s overvalued I just strongly disagree.

What?!?

I have never been a Boogie fan. Yes, I did love Melo when he was in his prime. Howard is a bum. I wanted the Wolves to get him for cheap and bring some excitement. Better than the shit this team usually has.

You know, the scrubs you guy's go on about year after year as if you have found some hidden gem to only suck major ass and the take disappears forever.

Guy's like Rubio, BeAPizza, Randolph, Shved. The list of shit can go on and on.

Melo is a HOFer. At least Howard was a has been.

[j2j]

Melo is a HOFer because of what he did outside the NBA, not in it.

[j2j]

I could see Horford fitting in well with the Lakers. I mean first off, fuck the Lakers, but he is a good fit with Davis and LeBron.

[RubeTube]

Melo is a HOFer because of what he did outside the NBA, not in it.

Melo is a 10x All Star and 6x All NBA. A scoring champ.

I love Wolves fans who tear down all these guy's like Harden, Melo etc.. and start threads about Tyus Jones

I think the year I wanted Howard here we ended up with Aldrich and you guy's were like "Better fit"


This board hates on guy's like Kobe Bryant etc.. It's laughable really.

Meanwhile this team has had one good player in the history of the franchise and he won about as much as Carmelo did here. It took him joining a super team to get it done.

You're corked because Wolves fans start threads on a Wolves message board about Wolves players that happen to be from the state the Wolves play in? I can't imagine why in a million years people would start a thread about Tyus Jones.

You’ve jumped the shark tube. Sorry. You’re pissed off that Wolves fans aren’t talking about Carmelo Anthony and instead start threads about players on the team. Look inside and you’ll see how ridiculous that sounds.

I get it. Some guy's some people don't like. Some guy's have holes in their games and can still be really good. Some guy's a natural born losers (Kyrie and Jimmy)

Still doesn't mean these guy's aren't leagues above the trash we get to watch as Wolves fans. I would take any of them on this team and build around their strengths. Not everyone can be Kawhi.

Guy's like Kevin Love were loved here. He wasn't a complete player at all and really ended up being a slightly above average player.

You would have to argue that just about everyone who has ever played here has been a "Loser"
