Pre-draft buzz: SA among those looking to get to 4 to take Josh Jackson. FWIW: Suns went hard after Aldridge when he was a UFA.

That trade would very much ruin my day.

It seems like McD always comes close but can never pull through on the big signings/trades.

Happened with LMA, happened with Cousins trade and now happening again with Porzingis.

Somehow trading for LMA does not seem exciting anymore.

Cousins was there for almost any team but few teams wanted to give much value for him.

IMO, Porzingis is the best of the bunch but there must be tremendous competition for him.

I never doubt McDonough's effort.

This doesn't really say much, just two pieces of information.

If McD trades #4 for a washed up LMA, he should be fired on the spot.

Yeah not anymore but I meant 3 years ago when we did.

According to the reports, the Spurs initially are seeking a Top-10 pick in Thursday’s draft to move Aldridge. Most teams in the lottery like Sacramento and Phoenix could open the cap space to absorb Aldridge’s contract, but the fact that a deal hasn’t happened shows Aldridge’s value on the market might have decreased from the number-4 pick from Phoenix or the number 5 or 10 picks from Sacramento.

A source told the San Antonio Express News the Spurs are just using ‘due diligence’ in exploring the market for Aldridge. With Aldridge having a player option in his deal for next summer, the early expectation is he may decline that option and explore the free agent market next summer.

I understand. It's funny what was interesting 3 years ago is not so interesting today.

I think Porzingis would still be interesting in 3 years.

 

[Mainstreet]

No.

Phoenix might be the only team holding a top-10 pick that could acquire Aldridge with confidence that it isn't just a one-year engagement.

We can't possibly be that shortsighted, right?

RIGHT?!!!

 

[Ouchie-Z-Clown]

Aldridge and George would be the dumbest possible acquisitions. No to both. If McDonough does either he should be strung up.

I do not want any part of it. No.

However, if it did happen, it would have to be a part of a bigger trade.

If the Suns trade for Aldridge it's the owner's move.

He was not able to score on James Harden in the post on several occasions. I want no part of LMA at this point.

 

[Hoop Head]

Aldridge had that heart issue come up last March. That alone would make me reluctant to bring him in. I wouldn't trade #4 for him even if they'd take back Knight's contract.

Boston Celtics have spoken to the Minnesota Timberwolves about acquiring the 7th pick in the draft, league sources told Basketball Insiders.

Fascinating machinations around Josh Jackson today. Loads of teams trying to trade into the top 4 to get him.

 

[Ronin]

Ramona Shelburne @ramonashelburne

Clippers, Spurs, Bulls all have interest in him and big name veteran players (DeAndre, LaMarcus, Jimmy) who would really help Boston

I'd guess Boston makes some kind of move that involves a team getting to #3 to take Jackson.

 

[gmabel830]

He's definitely not phoning it in...

Boston could really screw up our plans. Haha If Jackson is not there at 4 and Sac has the 5/10 for 4 swap in play I jump at that.

I'll be honest, if I'm sac I don't make that trade with Suns calling their bluff on us drafting fox. If the Suns say we are trading the 4!to another team and you can beat it with 5 and 10, then I do it.

 

[devilalum]

I don't like the Suns trading for the 5 and 10. How many players can a team have that are under the age of 20?
