teams that feel they are on the 'verge' want proven talent that can tip them. this makes sense for Utah and Indiana because both are exactly that, and makes sense for Atlanta if they're rebooting. a rookie, no matter how good, isn't bringing you to the playoffs or the 2nd round of it.

I tend to think so, but it's hard to say. If Horford, Bazemore, and Millsap leave, they could actually prefer that pick to Noel.

i'm leaning towards complete blowup of that team.



I think they know Horford is gone, which is why someone like Okafor could be of interest to them, but with only 12 and 21, they probably do not have enough to get him.

Maybe that's why Colangelo didn't do the deal??

Miami and Houston are going to go after Hoford hard, along with Detroit. I give Detroit a 5% chance.

I'm thinking Miami 60%, Houston 35%, Detroit 5%, Lakers 0%

don't really see how a team like Orlando has any appeal to him other than it being in Florida. i could be wrong.

When Simmons was asked about the uncertainty of the Sixers roster today:

“I think once we start playing, we will come together. I had a good feeling when I was working out there. I had good vibes. So I’m looking forward to it.”

Once a potential trade target, Derrick Rose has also been traded. Rose is on the way to the Knicks.

I sure hope he was never a legit trade target for the Sixers.

Well, it's probably a good sign they didn't part with something of value then?

Not sure we were truly serious, we have so many assets that if we were we could've blown the other offers out of the water. I think Giant Collars was involved to see if he could grab either at a good price and then passed when what that price was came to light.
