James will not attend the meeting. Just his reps.

I’m not going by myself, get me Kawhi and then we’ll talk.

I don’t see Philly having enough to get Leonard without ripping their team in half.

Say the price is Saric + Fultz + Covington + Smith + #1. Philly would give that for Kawhi and Lebron easily, right?

Then see if Redick would take the room exception.

Embiid
Lebron
Kawhi
Redick
Simmons

Does the bench matter?

I’d say no. When you get to the conference Finals talent/stars finally matter and that is some serious talent.

Nick Wright who is James top fanboy says decision is made and James will announce Tuesday

Vanfleet resigned in Toronto 2 for 18 mill

Too bad. VanVleet would've been a good pickup for the Suns.

If Sixers got Leonard and then Lebron, I would bet Kyrie flies the coup the following year to join forces with Durant on a new super team as they can both opt out- I do not want Lebron in the East on that Sixers team- they would be a brutal opponent for the next few years.

If true, then if Leonard is not traded to sixers in next day and a half, Lebron is not joining Sixers—right? And if he is traded to sixers, man down the hatches...

Given how little money's going to be around soon, you might be able to put a decent bench together with minimum contracts.

As for Redick taking the $4.4MM room exception, that would assume ring chasing is a bigger priority than money. JJR has links to BKN, so don't be surprised if he ends up there (or elsewhere) and the Sixers end up with not much 3 point shooting. Maybe Smart gets renounced if he waits too long and solves the Sixers problem.

EDIT: Seems like BKN is running out of cap room too per Bobby Marks.

We gotta try to get Kawhi  if James goes to philly.  Smart, yabu, Nader and 3 picks

Sources: Robinson will sign a two-year, $8.3M deal with the Pistons, including team option. Robinson has financial security and Detroit gets talented wing.

Heat have signed Derrick Jones Jr. to a two-year, $3.16M minimum-salary standard NBA contract. The first-year is fully guaranteed (at $1.51M) and the second-year is initially non-guaranteed (at $1.65M), per @flasportsbuzz.

The Dallas Mavericks will likely utilize remaining $5M in salary cap space to re-sign franchise cornerstone Dirk Nowitzki, league sources tell Yahoo. Nowitzki's $5M team option was declined before start of free agency to give Dallas flexibility.

They won't say yes unless we include Jayson Tatum (or very least, Jaylen Brown) with no promise of commitment.

Stein says LeBron and LA haven’t really talked. Lakers to meet with Capela per David Aldridge. That would be a nice way to blow your cap space. My dream of LeBron returning to Cleveland coming true?

[celticinorlando]

What are the Lakers doing? They did not get George last year and now this? They seem to be poorly ran.

[Joyride]

What are the Lakers doing? They did not get George last year and now this? They seem to be poorly ran.

But they have Magic Johnson. He’s the best GM in the league. (Insert sarcasm here)

[RJ87]

What are the Lakers doing? They did not get George last year and now this? They seem to be poorly ran.

Too confident? Go all in on Kawhi now, get LeBron to commit, fill out the roster with exceptions and vet mins. Granted I haven't watched a ton of the Lakers, but is Brandon Ingram really worth missing out on Kawhi and whiffing on James?

we are all just guessing here, but i dont see the spurs wanting fultz. i am not sure what the sixers would trade for kawhi that the spurs would take.
