Not liking the new jerseys

What do you guys think it would take to get Irving? Saw a report saying Murray, Faried, Chandler and a first round pick, doesn't seem to bad if Juancho and Barton are indeed going to play a lot of minutes at the 3.

Although personally I'd like to see a three team trade with the Suns. Suns get Irving, we get Bledsoe, Cavs get Faried, Mudiay, our first round pick and the Suns protected first round pick.

Harris and Murray are going to be sticking points in any negotiation though, I'd rather not give up either. But in the scenario with the Suns I suppose swapping Harris for Mudiay wouldn't be terrible but that depends on the development of Murray and how confident the staff is in him.

Heard he just had Lasik

He's going to love his new eyes. Good that he did it now too, so his eyes have time to heal and he adjusts to the depth perception by the season.

I'm a lot more excited for this upcoming season than any in the last few years. still kinda hoping we get rid of Faried, won't be happy if he is starting at all.

Robert carter and Torrey Craig played well tonight. Lydon looked awful on defense.

Side note I was watching Jamal Murray on the bench the whole game and was cool, but then I saw Gary Harris as we were leaving and I totally fanned out.

Tyler Lydon is terrified of Zhou Qi

Lydon has some hops on him, hit a sweet fade away in the post early

So with Boston signing Hayward, not only do they need to offload some guys to create cap space, they now have Hayward, Crowder (likely trade candidate), Tatum, and Jaylen Brown. Not incredibly interested in Crowder, but Jaylen Brown is highly intriguing.

And with Wasington matching the Otto Porter deal they want to do a sign and trade with Bogdanovich. I doubt we have the players to get Washington to bite though. Maybe DA

I'd be shocked if they moved tatum or brown.

Just got tickets for our first summer league games against the Rockets. Looking forward to watching Beasley and Juancho play

Ya at this point we were better off keeping the team option like we did. Not much is out there, I'd like to see us try and jumpstart negotiations with PHX about Bledsoe.

Would be sweet if you guys got Bledsoe.

Well Hill won't be signing with us now. Maybe we can try and sign Rudy Gay although I'm iffy on him coming off that Achilles injury. Or we can try and lure Simmons away from San Antonio, I think he'd fit nicely with our Jokic/Milsap combo on offense and would be an improvement defensively. Signing Greg Monroe would be nice as well.

The market is starting to dry up though and I doubt we can get much by trading Faried/Arthur now but who knows.

We will have Millsap either way, but if we acquire Millsap through a S+T we gain about 15m in cap room. The only issue would be that Denver and Millsap would need to convert the 3rd year team option, into a fully non-guranteed 3rd year. S+Ts need to be at least 3y in length(option not included). We would end up adding cap room, with a sign and trade. This is important if we cant move Faried or DA, and want to sign Hill. This is a good article breaking down the pros and cons of it. Basically, we would lose Millsap's Bird rights, is what it boils down to.

We already have Millsap... I can see the confusion though, there was a bleacherreport article I just looked at that said Millsap was part of the deal.

Looks like we'll get some draft compensation just for facilitating the sign and trade. That works for me
