2015-16 Around the NBA

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

Iggy and Deng were available at #7. Defenitely a Sarver era move.

Apparently the Thunder are actively shopping Serge Ibaka. I imagine they are probably asking for more than he's worth.

Orlando is one of several teams pursuing Jimmy Butler. Also, Houston is trying to get into the 1st round and is offering Patrick Beverley

why is chicago so eager to move butler. doesn't make sense to me at all.

Boston offer for Jimmy Butler, it was a lot. According to this guy this was the proposed offer.

Hunter Schneeberger‏@hschneeb
@AlbertBreer it was reported that it was 3, 16, 23, 2017 nets pick, smart, Bradley, and crowder

 

[Sunburn]

If the Bulls are actively shopping Butler, not really sure what else you could want. That's a rebuild a team in one move kind of haul. If you want an established guy, why not just keep Butler? I don't get it. I don't think they get an offer that beats the above mentioned.

I like Noah but if players like him will get max. offers then deals handed out to Knight and Chandler soon will not only look okay but slowly they will be considered steals.

They already are. Free agency is upon us.

Do not want.

Vertical Sources: Memphis has declined Lance Stephenson's $9.4M team option. He'll be free agent. Interest for return, interest elsewhere.

Hassan Whiteside's made ~$3.2 mil from his NBA career so far (his stints with Kings, Heat, etc.). His next deal likely STARTS at ~$21.6 mil.

I certainly cannot blame him for taking full advantage of the opportunity. This could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

It looks like the Wizards may try to sign Ryan Anderson in free agency. Reportedly a league GM estimates he may command a yearly salary of $17 million. Yikes.

WTH? Not only is he not a max player but that could artificially inflate other "going" prices for FAs. Sounds like they are overpaying to guarantee getting an impact player.

I've always thought he was an underrated player. He might be worth checking out.

 

[Mainstreet]

Taj Gibson would also be a good fit for the Suns but they would have to trade something for him. Actually he would be a great fit and he would bring some toughness to the Suns front line while Bender and Chriss develop. I don't know what the Bulls would want in return.

Manu Ginobili is leaning towards returning for the 2016-17 season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of the Vertical.
Wojnarowski reports there is a strong belief around the league that Ginobili will be back for 2016-17.

Warriors Won't Release Shaun Livingston
The Golden State Warriors will keep Shaun Livingston on their books for next season.

The Warriors could have saved $2.7 million by releasing Livingston before July 1st, but his $5.7 million is now fully guaranteed.

Sources: Brooklyn shopping Jarrett Jack w/ buyout date looming Thursday. Without trade, Nets plan to waive PG; would clear nearly $6M on cap

 

[Mainstreet]

It's so quiet on the free agency front much like the draft. I like that McDonough keeps his cards close to his chest but I'd like some early rumors. I guess we will hear something around July 1st unless an agent springs a leak.

Utah has reportedly made Trey Burke available via trade.

With George Hill, Dante Exum, Raul Neto and Shelvin Mack all on the roster, the Jazz are absolutely loaded at the point guard position, so it's not at all surprising to see this report. Utah could use an upgrade with regards to their backup small forward, so that's likely something they'll be looking to address should they unload some of their point guards. If the Pistons don't go after a big-name backup point guard, Burke could be an option for them.
