Pre-draft off Season rumors

[Moranis]

Klay Thompson has apparently stopped following the Warriors on social media. Rumored they don't want to pay him and he wants one more pay day, so he will likely be available.

Kings have reportedly offered Barnes, Huerter, and draft picks to Bulls for LaVine and Caruso. Essentially the same packaged the Kings offered Raptors before they traded OG and Siakam.  It appears the Kings are going to be active this summer.

Klay stopped following them and also deleted a lot of Warriors stuff over a week ago. I think he's gone. Feels like he will go Orlando, it makes a lot of sense. Or OKC. He's not the same guy but still has veteran championship experience and could be a very nice #3 option and scorer for OKC behind SGA and Chet.

[Moranis]

OKC would be a nice spot for Klay as long as he didn't prevent them from getting a big. They need a big guy.

Yep. I think Hartenstein or Valenciunas would be awesome gets for them.

Klay can be a nice role player for the Thunder. He can replace Hayward in the role of (A shadow of his former self.)

edit to replace the quote marks that get turned into question marks with brackets because apparently that?s still happening.

Siakam reportedly going to sign a 4 year, 190 million max extension with Pacers.

Pelicans have reportedly offered Ingram and their draft pick for Garland. Cavs haven't been interested but that would be an interesting trade for Cavs if Ingram could actually stay healthy. The wing scorer they desperately need and not a total sieve defensively.  Ingram staying healthy is just such a long shot I get why the Cavs wouldn't be interested in that.

Will the Celtics actually use their first round pick if Will they trade it?

I think they trade back into the second round and maybe a future second unless there is someone they really like at 30. It's a flat draft. There will be some guys who work out but I don't see any elite talent.

I would love for DaRon Holmes II or Kyle Filipowski to fall to 30 and for Boston to take one.

The Bronny saga should be interesting.

The Bronny saga should be interesting.

Do you grab him at the pick before the Lakers out of spite?

 

[Phantom255x]

This Bronny saga is a joke. It's all led by Lebron and ESPN (of course) but seriously, I feel ESPN is covering Bronny James more than the actual top picks in this year's Draft. Also apparently he's turning down workouts with teams. He's really *that* guy?? Sorry but it's this kind of stuff that makes me hope he fails in the NBA, it's all nepotism at its finest.

I expect him to go #55 to the Lakers. I think all the talk about the Suns and other teams being interested is just more of the national media hyping him up. During the actual draft no one will take him higher than 55 and Lakers will take him just to make Lebron happy.

Be honest, if Lebron decided to leave LAL right now, announced it and everyone knew he was an open Free Agent, do the Lakers still consider Bronny James as a draft pick?

Siakam reportedly going to sign a 4 year, 190 million max extension with Pacers.

That's a fine deal for him. He was always going to get the max but staying away from that fifth year is good. This contract will pay him for his ages 30-33 seasons.

Pacers can now eitehr re-sign Topin or use the MLE, but probably not both, without going into the tax.

I would love for DaRon Holmes II or Kyle Filipowski to fall to 30 and for Boston to take one.

Really just any big that could conceivably shoot and not be killed defensively. DaRon or Filipowksi are both intriguing, Tyler Smith is another interesting option tho probably a little more raw than those guys.
