2015-16 Around the NBA

[Ronin]

Chandler Parsons a free agent

Chandler Parsons will decline his player option for the 2016-17 season.
He would've made $16 million next season if he opted in, but his decision will make him an unrestricted free agent on July 1

Free Agency Rumble: Orlando, Detroit and the Lakers are all among the teams that intend to make a run at Atlanta big man Al Horford.

The Celtics and Suns have been been shopping their picks for an established player.

The Suns are particularly interested in Gordon Hayward.

Utah is saying no.

I wonder what the Suns were really offering though? One pick, both picks or swap? I guess either way Utah isn't going for it.

Apologies if this had been posted.

Knicks and Bulls are in advanced talks on a deal to send Derrick Rose to New York, sources tell @ShamsCharania and me.

K.C. Johnson ‏@KCJHoop 2m
The Bulls are sending Derrick Rose, Justin Holiday and a 2017 2nd-round pick for Robin Lopez, Jerian Grant and Jose Calderon, per source.

 

[Chaplin]

Robin Lopez! LOL

Bulls must be doing something else--Noah on his way out?

 

[SirStefan32]

Poor Rose. Getting traded for Robin Lopez has got to be a kick in the balls.

Rose isn't a worthless player but his salary makes him more of a liability than an asset to most teams.

 

[slinslin]

Bulls and Sixers need a PG badly

The 76ers were involved in trade discussions for both George Hill and Jeff Teague up until the very last minute. In the market for vet PG.

Yup, he is gone. On the radio they said Lopez has out produced Noah by a good amount. Noah is a shell of himself.

Grant is the player the Bulls wanted. Calderon probably starts the season is the starting PG, but I think Grant finishes. Lopez is a slightly cheater and more reliable player than Noah right now.

High risk, high reward for the Knicks, while the Bulls got 3 role players for the same price as Rose.

Deron Williams opts out of his deal in Dallas. I know his career has been in decline since he left Utah but he's not that old and should be affordable. I can't see him getting paid more than either Knight or Bledsoe. I wonder if that could hurt the market if the Suns are shopping either player now that a serviceable and cheaper option is available without giving up assets. Virtually all teams will have cap room so it's less of a gamble to bring in Williams than send out assets for Knight or Bledsoe.

With the new cap he's definitely worth more than the $5 mil he was scheduled to make.

Brooklyn has traded forward Thad Young to the Indiana Pacers for the 20th pick and a future 2nd rounder, league sources tell @TheVertical.

 

[Chaplin]

Wow I thought Young had more value than that.

 

[Covert Rain]

Wow I thought Young had more value than that.

I think they were looking for a pass first guy. He is still talented. I agree that #20 in this week draft seems like nothing to give up for the guy.

 

[elindholm]

Isn't it unusual to have trades right before the draft? I don't remember anything like this before.

The Suns trade #7 to the Bulls for a future first round pick. 1 day before the draft.

I'm still trying to forget about that trade.
