Somehow Bron gets exactly what he needs, again.

I don't understand

What if DWill goes to the Pels?

Williams
Holiday
Casspi
Davis
Cousins

I feel like Deron looking for a contender... Pels would just be fighting to even make the playoffs

I would like to see Barnes go to Toronto. Give them some goonery come playoff time

Now that would be a great idea. With Ibaka and Tucker they've already added more toughness. Barnes would help even more getting in people's heads.

 

[bonafide101]

I don't get it. How do they know when a player is expected to clear waivers? No team that can pick him up wants him? Can the player decline if a team picks him off waivers?

A package of Marcus Smart, Jae Crowder, and the Nets 2017 first-round pick always seemed like a fair endpoint to the Butler negotiations. The two sides apparently never arrived there. It's unclear if Boston would have done that deal, anyway, and I can already hear everyone snickering at that -- at Danny Ainge's stubbornness, lording over a stack of draft picks so high that Boston can't even bring them all to the NBA at the same time.

Boston was wary of losing both Smart and Crowder, even in exchange for Butler, who has been something like the 9th or 10th best player in the league this season. (David Aldridge has already reported Crowder was a sticking point in talks). Butler would have gobbled up all of Crowder's minutes at small forward, making it look like a wash. Smart is the price of doing business, and the Celtics would still have had plenty left over on the wing: Avery Bradley, Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier, and more. They'd still have the 2018 Nets pick, a gem, plus future first-round picks from Memphis and the Clippers. The future would have been fine.

Yea. I don't wanna hear nothing else about Danny Ainge. This is JJ Hickson all over again.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Whoa, I never knew PJ Tucker left the league for several years

I thought he been there the whole time

The dirty game of agents and politics.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Yeah I was never one to believe in the JJ Hickson offer and I don't pretend to know exactly what was offered in Boston/Chicago/Indy

You guys can pretend to know and then criticize though, go for it

as a mavs fan i dont understand why the mavs are putting so much behind yogi ferrell being a starter in dallas(hes not gonna pull a Dak)hes a development league/euro balltype talent not nba franchise are mark and donnie continuing the streak off bonehead gm moves....even if we did get top 3 pick in draft front office would probably go after Fox or Monk or Williams at Texas AM its hard being a mavs fan

Pretty sure the Bulls wouldn't have took that deal, just look at what we gave up for Payne

Multiple teams interested in Deron Williams tell ESPN they believe Williams has already decided to join Cleveland upon clearing waivers

[tyevvyotcu]

how does the waiver process work? I thought any team could claim a player so why is it a forgone conclusion that dwill is going to cle?
