Scoop B on Spotify Live: “I reached out to Dwight (Howard) directly and I’ll tell you that there is mutual interest between him and the Brooklyn Nets.”

I would like him. I also think that is the kind of signing that indicates they actually believe kd will still be there. That is very much a contending team signing

Blake Griffin is a name I hadn’t thought of and one of the favorite low cost options I’ve considered. He’s a bit switchable, good passer, and can shoot a little. If healthy he could be a great option as a 10th man. I wish that guy could have a bit more size, but I much rather him in the lockerroom than Whiteside or Howard.

The only other guy from that article I’m interested in is Reid, but I think the Wolves want him as their third big man.

Interesting about Blake Griffin. I had sort of forgotten about him. A former #1 pick (whos game has admittedly dropped off), on a team with a legit chance at a championship... count me in.
Celtics fan for life.

I'm curious why the cs don't bring some guys in on non guaranteed deals like Giles.  They could get a few bags in and let them battle it out over camp and keep the best one.

I don’t know why you think the C’s are going to enter training camp with only 12 players when they’re required to have 14 by opening day.  They’ll sign someone at some point, but they’re clearly working on some trades still.

Good luck to him.  I hope he makes it back to the NBA, but I unfortunately doubt he will.

Yeah, I doubt he makes it back to the NBA. But he'll be adored in Brisbane
