If Dallas wants him bad enough, they’ll trade up! And Dallas desperately wants him. It actually hurts to see him fall right beneath their nose...

Atlanta saying they want him is a pure leverage play

So Leonard from Spurs is asking to be traded to Lakers,he is from that area,but I wonder if he is one that thinks James is on his way to LA with Paul George.
As most on here I do not see him going to LA,in fact if he wanted to leave the East the only team I see in the west could be Houston as that is a contender with good players but instead of playing the Warriors in Finals he would have to beat them in Conf.Finals to play Boston?? in NBA Finals.
Anyone see SA trading Leonard to Lakers after playing 9 games this season.??

The odds are a bit all over the map right now for these three:

5Dimes

Trae young -135 OVER pick 7.5
Wendell Carter -130 OVER pick 7.5
Michael Porter -165 OVER pick 6.5

There’s value somewhere here because two of those three will at least go 6 and 7 forcing the third to go 8 or above.

Not sure where Porter reports are they say he’s dropping D. I’m not reading it if it’s out there. 

Trae Young had a “private” workout several days ago with the Cavs after saying he’d only work out for the Hawks (3) Magic (6) Bulls (7) Knicks (9), which I believe has lead to him being a favorite to go over 7.5 (that is, he’s getting word the Bulls and Magic will pass on him. Hawks definitely are not taking him at a pick as high as 3).

All I have to say about Young is this. This guy is TINY. And defense is nonexistent. It’s almost like Michael Adams of the Nuggets: lights it up offensively (people forget he averaged 26 points one year) but gives it all back on the other end as a little man.

I think a team is crazy to take Young over Porter but it may happen. 

Not sure what Lebron thinks about Young. He certainly won’t help defensively!

And thE only way Leonard goes to the Lakers is if he says that will be the only team he signs an extension with and scares all other teams off. Because the Spurs know they’d be creating the start of a super team if they sent him there otherwise.

Lebron up to -190 to go to LA.

People really are eating up this Leonard to LA garbage.

You really think the Spurs are HELP going to create a THIRD superteam out West....

Again if Leonard doesn’t FORCE a trade LA saying he’ll ONLY sign there you can forget LA as a destination.

If Spurs can fleece the Lakers of Kuzma Ingram and Hart for a guy whos already quit on them in Leonard, they would be foolish not to

Packers Lakers won’t give up all that. Not if they have leverage.

Ah, D we’ll see!

Locking in

Grayson Allen is a first round pick YES (Under pick 30.5) -270 5Dimes

$270 to win $100

“The Boston #Celtics? ? “Loved” what they saw from Duke Grayson Allen in his pre draft workout. 


Danny Ainge on Allen: “When you watch him play, you see this fluidity and smoothness that not to many players have. His character is exactly what we want here.””


I’m reading the Celtics love him. Jazz love him. Houston wants to move into the first round to get him. Again, long odds but at this point a name this Big with teams continually praising him after his workouts is worth the bet especially at the bottom of he first round where the scraps and few gems reside.

Not “long odds”. Should read “big chalk”. Which is fine with me in a very volatile exotic (as the NFL proved, drafts are very unpredictable).

the days of shying away from Duke players is over.  I'm fairy certain there are more Duke alma maters in the association than any other school.  Grayson is definitely a steal for any team.

True. The warriors may take a flyer on Gary Trent Jr as well. He’s shoots 40% from 3. What better team could take him??

was literally about to post on him.  I don't think he gets drafted in the first round so with that said:


Over 30.5 Gary Trent Jr.  -140 (bovada)

completely one-dimensional player.......I could understand a team taking a flyer if he was a 3 and D player but he is literally a Korver-type catch and shoot player without Korvers size

If Jose Calderon is still in the NBA after all these years, guys like Trent Jr with athleticism will do just fine

D believe me I KNOW he is limited and so do you!

But that doesn’t mean teams won’t take a flyer on him in the first round!

Still I can’t disagree or agree with the bet. It can definitely hit that’s for sure.

And amazingly Calderon was in the finals this year (along with Jr and Iman the year before...all Knicks trash heap players)...
