Summer League announcers: heavy rumors Smart is going to OKC

[Chief Macho]

Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.,  that sucks.    just get rid of crowder for nothing.   smarts got balls.

[Joyride]

Danny should send Crowder to ATL so they don't suck as bad as the Nets and Lakers.

[Roy H.]

Doug McDermott? That wouldn't clear much space.

Do they have a trade exception to fit him in?

They do.

Then that's our return, plus presumably draft compensation.

Edit: Except what firsts can they even trade? Their firsts are tied up for the foreseeable future. Swap rights, I guess?

My guess is that Danny can do better.

****,  that sucks.    just get rid of crowder for nothing.   smarts got balls.

agreed.  not to mention we now have Hayward, Jaylen and Tatum to cover the 3/4 so Crowder is more expendable than Smart.  not to mention Crowder's D was noticeably worse last year

Is there anything on that OKC roster that we'd want back in return? They just signed Patrick Patterson to replace Taj Gibson; they don't have the bigs we need outside of Adams.

This rumor sounded like a guess from the Utah commentating crew.

Smart is obviously being shopped but the op makes it sound like an imminent deal. Not the case.

[Birdman]

Enes Katner or Jermi Grant

The announcer said there are heavy rumors that Smart is going to OKC, that's all I said.

Yeah but the context is important.

These guys are from utah and clearly have no idea what's going on.

Later in the conversation one guy said they were thinking of trading olynul and another guy asked "why are they trying to trade those guys, maybe to clear up cap space?"

When you just frame it as "NBATV" it lends it credibility it doesn't deserve.

They are in an arena for the whole week with NBA executives and GM's. I'm pretty sure they have some good sources out there.

this thread is giving me a heart attack, among Bradley/Smart and Crowder, I am most attached to Smart...

mainly because seeing him bust his ass on the floor night in, night out and a guy who puts team first, is so hard to say goodbye to

[Cman]

Doug McDermott? That wouldn't clear much space.

Do they have a trade exception to fit him in?

That is the real question: Which teams have trade exceptions? Anyone have a list of these? Cs don't want players back. They want space.

[Snakehead]

Don't use the SL announcers as a source.

[Mike Pemulis]

Why on earth would we take another SF? Trading Crowder seems like the only reasonable move.
