There is a lot of crazy ones.
Lowry to Wolves would be fantastic for KAT. Not sure Blake to Suns would make too much improvement, that teams got a long ways to go even with Blake.
unfortunately, we aren't hearing anything with Pelicans, which is disappointing.

that's interesting. Stings GSW quite a bit, and then Spurs will take a nice step forward.
Could they grab rondo? I know their back court/small forward positions are severely lacking.
Wizards offered 170 mil to Wall for four years. They will be in luxary tax if they resign Porter and someone else. They need to clear major space to grav another high ens player which Wall is considering as he is trying to get Paul George.
yeah, i hope they can make something happen but...it looks like boston will get noticeably better and Cleveland will at least stay at the same level.
So...Wizard will be in the bad mediocre situation...sigh.
Id like to see Washinton get better as well but sadly their situation was ruined when KD chose GSW. I would like to see Wall end up somewhere like the Spurs to have a good chance.
The Kings, Thunder and Clippers are all said to have an interest in Zach Randolph.
Jrue Holiday is meeting with the Pacers.

Stupid Pelicans were hellbent on resigning Jrue Holiday. Maybe that's because they knew they couldn't sign a FA. Just sad watching AD and Boogie waste away. And Jrue fn Holiday make 125mil. He is really pitiful.
Id like to see Randolph go to SAC and toughen those young Cats up.

Reddick is wanting to go to the Wolves it seems. Apparently ready to sign a multi year deal with them if he's offered by them.
Millsap also wanting to go to Minnesota following the Jeff Teague pickup.
Minny finally becoming a hot commodity in FA. I'm stoked. My favorite NBA and they have my favorite player (Towns)

This burns my skin, Jrue Holiday has been awful, the Pelicans may be the worst ran franchise in the NBA now.
Never thought I'd see a day when a guy like Teague would make $19 million/year.
The league has lost its effing mind.
Mother of God. Holiday is making $25 million a year and Teague will make $19 million/year.
That's $44 million/year for two guys who couldn't even sniff serious All-Star consideration even if their mothers chose the rosters.
The NBA is sh*t on a stick now.
He would have been better than that stupid Holiday deal they just committed to.
Get Rondo on the cheap, sign a competent shooting guard, and let Rondo run the team for a few years. Now they're committed to a bad marriage with Holiday for 5 years and sank their cap flexibility for a half-decade due to signing a third-rate point guard.
If an entire planet full of cash, gold, and pearls suddenly fell onto Minnesota's home floor, there's still no justification for paying Jeff Teague $19 million/year.
I like all these moves Cleveland, Houston and OKC are making merely to get their asses handed to them in 6 games, instead of 5, by Golden State.
The Pelicans were in a box. If they let Jrue walk, they would only have $13 million to spend under the cap.
So it wasn't so much Jrue being worth $25 million, as him being better than what they thought they could get for $13 million.
But they are a mess though.

I'm surprise the Thunder got PG for only 2 players.....there had to have been a better deal than that for Indiana
True, and perhaps they should have gone complete rebuild mode.
Davis to Boston for players/picks. Let Holiday walk. Explore any type of market for Boogie.
Teams starting their rebuild right now are making the logical move. No one is touching GS or the traveling cult of LeBron for the next 3 to 4 years. The league is too top heavy.
They were lucky enough to draft a generational talent, and they're blowing it.
While I'd be fine with the above, that's coming from our Kentucky eyes. You don't nuke a team with a top5 player and another top25 player. They are one player away from a decent seed in the West. You put a true PG on that team for the PnR and they're in it.
It's also worth noting that while Holiday is far from an elite PG, he did have a pretty big issue in his personal life with his wife's brain tumor. After missing the first 15 games, it wasn't long after that Cousins was brought into the fold. All of last year was kind of a wash. 16 and 7 isn't terrible.
But we just saw them commit to Holiday. They clearly won’t be in it for a while, and now their priorities shift to a high level wing player.
Where do they find that type of player with the way the market is exponentially rising in salaries? Being one player away can make all the difference in the world and finding those guys is difficult. Look at Cleveland and Boston’s current efforts to land Paul George.
I also think it has little to do with viewing this as a Kentucky fan. The basketball reality is that for the next 3-4 years, no one has a shot, not in the Golden State/ LeBron world. NO could try build up to the contending point on the downslide of the current Warriors/LeBron monopoly, and then you’re trying to win while attempting to resign Davis/Boogie for longer commitments. Competing could work in that scenario, but not for a while.
All of the current shifting is basically an attempt to secure the title of third or fourth best team in the NBA. If that is an organization’s goal, NO should maintain their current trajectory. They’d need a ton of luck with convincing players to sign with the Pelicans, and that’s just to break through to the next tier.
Never count out dumping a player to an even worse franchise like The Knicks.
I disagree about the next 3-4 years though. GSW is already losing a huge reason why they're able to dominate. Iggy will be gone. Maybe they sign Gay? Is that a good thing? The more GSW changes, the more they have to figure it out all over again. Klay has two more years left on GSW. Draymond has 3. That team will almost for surely be disbanded by 2019. And while it could be a shitty 2 years in store for the rest of the league.. it's still shorter than 3-4.
I'm all for hitting the reset button, but I think it's still too early to do that in New Orleans. Davis continues to climb.. guys are going to want to play with him. Buddy Hield made all-rookie team, so there's some promise there.
I do wonder how well Cousins and Davis can co-exist. They move they may want to make is dump Cousins before any potential character issues may come up. You could get a pretty good haul for him and clear cap space.

GSW, even before Durant IMO, should have done whatever it took to keep that 2015-2016 team together. They dominated that year, and they lost the title due to Draymond's technical. That series was over in 5 or 6.
Why change that? They add Durant, ok sweet.. they maybe got better, by a little, but this team is now that much harder to keep together.
They should have kept their big 3 with that silly-good bench for support for the next 5-7 years, or longer, and be a legit dynasty.

Rondo did join Boogie before, that turned out badly. Just for that poitn of view. Nothing was a problem between boogie and Rondo, but in general that did not workout well.
Houston is now in trouble if you ask me. Sure they will be fine this season, but there's bigger chance that CP3 will bolt to wherever Lebron will go next year.
