Lowe Bomb Thread - #1: Uncle Jeff to Clippers

[Quetzalcoatl]

Woj is headed into the studio to record a podcast as of now according to his Twitter account.  It's  unlikely anything happens if he's doing that, as he probably has a good idea of any potential moves in the works

I agree with Zach Lowe. How the hell did Markieff Morris, who mailed in most of the season, and Donata Montejunas, who has been hurt for most of the season, fetch 1st round picks while Tobias Harris didn't?

How dumb is Orlando?

Pretty dumb, because it seems they were primarily motivated to create cap space so they could chase after free agents who don't want to sign there this summer.

Might guess is they're gonna try to sign Mike Conley and Dwight.

This is what happens when ownership puts pressure on front offices to make something happen.

NBA TV has the best possible pic for the Morris trade:



Here I come!  ARE YOU GETTING PUMPED DC???

Gotta think Conley and Horford are primary targets. Don't think they'd want to re-do the Dwight thing. Conley and Horford would actually pair well with Oladipo and Aaron Gordon, but I don't think Orlando gets any significant players.

ESPN just said Hinrich to Hawks for a 2nd.

Or Horford. Seriously though. They had all the leverage in a Tobias Harris deal, and they gave him up for spare parts? They couldn't have waited until draft night to trade him for say a pick? Since everyone has cap space, it couldn't have hurt.

I think they also wanted to appease Skiles and give them a "chance" at the playoffs.

Not a Woj Bomb but some ex-Cs here:

Clippers have acquired Jeff Green, sources say.

[PhoSita]

Oh Doc.

[LarBrd33]

Lance Stephenson for Jeff Green?  Weird.

[Tr1boy]

Oh Doc.

Why?? Green has played well recently

Doc is familiar with his tendencies /good and bad

[fairweatherfan]

Doc has his favorites, that's for sure.  Wonder if Green will still be backing up Pierce
