Is the Kemba/Rozier S&T finaled yet? I see no reference to it anywhere.

Yes, the Celts pick up the lower of the NY/Brooklyn second rounders next year in the deal.

So, 32, LOL.

If Kyrie gets a boo boo, it could be a high second rounder and we know the Knicks will be bad as well. 😁

What was the incentive for doing a sign and trade? Seems like a mid 2nd round pick. What was the point?

Has Melo retired? thought maybe Nets or Lakers may take a flier on him

The Bulls have said all the right things regarding Kris Dunn’s future, insisting there’s a role for one of the centerpieces of the June 2017 trade of Jimmy Butler to the Timberwolves. And with Dunn scheduled to make $5.3 million on his rookie deal and being someone who typically responds when challenged, the Bulls won’t just give him away.

However, league sources said Dunn is available for the right price. In fact, the Bulls, sources said, have had discussions with the Grizzlies regarding a sign-and-trade for Justin Holiday. If that move materialized, it would not only alleviate the point guard logjam, it would add a veteran wing shooter.

Looks like OKC could trade Westbrook, tank this season, and then be set up for a pretty quick rebuild if another star-caliber player becomes available.

They definitely are contenders with Boston for the next "big trade"

Wow. Great signing. Another tough defender. Great fit on a title contender. I am shocked nobody else made a run at him. Clippers getting to keep their supporting cast. Lucky them.
