At this point, I'm not sure Caruso is an upgrade over Pritchard. I'm not giving up Pritchard AND Stevens AND Svi to get a package with Drummond. That's a lot of young talent to lose.

The Faried ship has sailed.

Rubio is getting a buyout because he’s leaving the NBA, if not basketball, indefinitely.

He just released this. He's done.

Good for him - the honesty, self-awareness.  Much more important than basketball.  Hope he continues his road to better mental health and in so doing (as he says) help others.

Drafted into the NBA at 18, after getting to the Euroleague at 16.

Having to work in Cleveland will do that to you, though. Especially if you can take your millions and retire to Barcelona. 
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

I remember him being such a big deal in European basketball. Went pro at like 15 years old. Dude has had a long career. Now I feel old.

Think he’s on the Knicks. Thib’s loves him.

Jalen McDaniels could be an option.

My ideal target all together is probably Saddiq Bey. Sometimes in the playoffs you will have stretches where you need some scoring even from the bench due to foul trouble/injuries and Bey can definitely provide that. He's got good size and fits the mold Stevens is looking for. Hauser's taken big strides but he's still a bit unproven when the postseason comes around.

There just aren't too many center trade targets either so you might have to settle for a big SF or PF. If any possibilities emerge I'd be down but can't think of too many. And a few you can like Olynyk or Stewart make too much and would require a lot.

Not sure if it's realistic but I would really like a Kelly Olynyk reunion.  With his shooting, playmaking and BBIQ he would be a spectacular fit on this team and is basically a shorter, poor man's Porzingis.  He would prove fantastic security in the frontcourt and could play alongside either Porzingis, Horford or Tatum up front without a problem.  he would be an immediate 6th/7th man here and would get good minutes, and would be very capable of starting in place of Porzingis if needed from time to time.
