2019 Summer Rumors official thread

[Jiri Welsch]

So lots of activity but nothing on Kawhi, Klay, Butler, Russell and Al.  What other big names am I missing? 

Klay is the really surprising one.  Is there any reason GSW would hold back his deal?  It was supposedly all ready to go yesterday.   

Klay agreed to re-sign with GSW for the max (5/190)

Source?

I'm wrong. I just looked at Marc Stein's twitter--he said we could expect it, but nothing has been officially reported. Sorry guys

My friend had an idea as to why.

He thinks Bob Myers, who was in New York to pitch to Durant, probably hasn't landed in SF yet to close the deal with Klay and his reps.

EDIT: For Josh Richardson.  That's a really nice pickup for the Sixers vs losing Butler for nothing.

As fairweatherfan just mentioned...

Shams Charania @ShamsCharania

Sources: Philadelphia has signed-and-traded Jimmy Butler to Miami, with Heat sending Josh Richardson to the 76ers.

Good signing for the Heat.

Wow. Looking like Richardson is coming back, too. That’s a nice replacement for Redick.

That should take them out of the running money-wise for Al, right?

I really like it for Philly, too. Richardson is a great fit at 2 for them.

Yeah, that's a nice replacement for them though. Embiit/Harris/Richardson/Simmons is a nice core.

EDIT: NVM. Al to Phily for 4 yrs, $109 per Woj.

[MattyIce]

Al to sixers:(

[Jiri Welsch]

Per Woj:

Five-time All-Star F/C Al Horford has agreed to a four-year, $109M deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, agent Jason Glushon tells ESPN.

[CelticSooner]

Yep my worst fears, once Jimmy left. Big Al to Philly ugh

[fairweatherfan]

My friend is a Laker fan (I know, I know) and we've been talking about how disappointed both fan bases will be if Al winds up on the Lakers (for them because they wanted a Kawhi or at least Butler-caliber signing there).

Aw man. Love Al, but he went to a division rival. Very torn.
