Shit is flying fast and is hard to keep up. Saw that PJ Tucker is going to the 76ers. Joker got the largest contract in NBA history, 5 years $264 million. Booker is getting his supermax and dumbass Beal decided to take his max instead of winning. [Reply]
Saw a report from Windhurst that Kyrie is trying to go to the Lakers and the Lakers may have a package to trade for KD lol. I bet KCC would instantly love that :-) [Reply]
The Lakers are signing guard Lonnie Walker IV to a one-year contract with the $6.5 million mid-level exception, his agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, confirmed to ESPN. The 23-year old averaged 12.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists for San Antonio last season.

They tendered Ayton so they have the right to match. That will lead to a sign-and-trade. Ayton just has to be willing to sign an offer sheet with the Nets. [Reply]
This is going to complicate things for the Nets in trading KD
Here is the list of players that were signed to the Designated Rookie Extension.
Can only have 1 player acquired in a trade
A.Wiggins B. Simmons J. Embiid D. Booker KAT J. Murray D. Mitchell D. Fox Ja. Tatum B. Adebayo Tr. Young Shai Gilgeous-Alexander L.Doncic M.Porter, Jr.

I’ve heard that they’ll have to get a third team involved because the Nets don’t want Ayton. [Reply]

Nothing wrong with Beal being loyal. He probably enjoys playing there so good for him for sticking with his team.
**** Durant. I'm sure he will play for a team this upcoming season then leave if he doesn't get his way or they don't win a championship. That's just how he is. Dude is a snake. [Reply]
In regards to this KD trade, it will be the biggest in NBA history and the Nets will want close to equal value plus you have to match salaries. I can't forsee the Nets trading KD for a bunch of picks and a group of average players.
So for example the Suns, do they have a good enough package without throwing in Booker or for the Heat they would have to send Adebayo. But the Nets would have to move Simmons first or throw him into the deal for either of those trades to happen. [Reply]
