Team Rumor Thread

[Stockton12]

Reports are LaMelo and his agent have given the Magic a list of teams/ cities he would prefer to get traded to after Jakkz stated he and Nash are tired of the whining and they may be unable to reconcile.

Teams/ cities INCLUDED NY LA DET NO among others but that hasn't been completely confirmed.

utah is deeply offended by this

[WillyJakkz]

Yes the rumors are true that Mark (Williams) has voiced his displeasure with the team's development, his role, as well as our upcoming trade.

[Ramcus]

Reports in Los Angeles are that Isaiah Taylor may fall ill in the upcoming days.

Rumors at the trade deadline:

Knicks GM:

"This trade deadline, all I'm looking for is more depth if possible, without losing any quality guys like Hamilton or Mathews.

Also looking for a few instructions for a 2nd round pick, two years away.

That's where I am at right now with everything. We are confident if healthy that we can compete and match up with every team in the Eastern Conference."

[Jestor]

Reports out of New Orleans say it’s “increasingly unlikely” Malik Monk or Mohamed Bamba are dealt by the deadline. “A lot of teams have the impression that Lauri set the baseline for what it would take to acquire Monk or Bamba, and that’s not accurate,” said a team source. “Both those guys are younger and we don’t have the financial angle with them that we did Lauri.”

Sources: League GMs are wondering what's going on in NO. Rival Western GM, "They have to know with older players every season is lost value as they get older and younger high potential players come. Waiting till the offseason is surprising in a sellers market."

Sources: other rivals GMs: "Why is Malik Monk not receiving 30 shots per game?"

Let Wemby cook.

[WillyJakkz]

I know this segment is the rumor mill but I do know that this is a fact that Orlando and New Orleans have engaged in talks to send LaMelo Ball to the Pelicans to pair with rookie Victor Wembanyama.

I can't say this is going to happen as New Orleans was not on LaMelo's list however, this would certainly be a fantastic situation for him to land if Wemby reaches his vast potential.

Last hours before "the decision"

The decision to trade Jarrett Allen, Tony Bradley for Laurynas Birutis, instructions and 6 million expiring are winding down.

The Knicks love the thought of turning Laurynas Birutis into a 24-10 2nd option. On the other side, there are durability concerns and free throw concerns about the big man.

Losing Bradley hurts also, but there are a few similar players like him, Hamilton for example.

In the end the Knicks will probably pass on the offer unless they are given a few more pieces like a pick or more instructions.

My boy gone! Haha bout time!

[rh0xxy]

My boy gone! Haha bout time!

Hmmm. To where and when?

[WillyJakkz]

Rumor is Luka Samanic (who has played outstanding as a shooter and bench scorer) as well as other considerations have been traded. Initially there was and still may be a 3rd team involved however Orlando may be sending the returning player to a different 3rd team OR retain the incoming player.

Magic Insider Magic Man X stated Orlando is receiving counsel on which direction to take.

[WillyJakkz]

Breaking News: The Orlando Magic have acquired GF Amir Coffey from the Los Angeles Lakers but are in talks with a young Western Conference team and another unnamed team to POSSIBLY send him to. Orlando however is also fielding calls before finalizing their decision.

[Marcos_Beck]

Bulls on the verge of another blockbuster to acquire a final piece to enter contention, hopefully.
Stay tuned.

[WillyJakkz]

Deal imminent? Magic seem to be nearing a deal to send C Mark Williams to a Western Conference powerhouse.

There was also another call asking on his availability in other trade talks as they at the very least are once again listening to offers on him and may move him despite their optimism on their future.

[Marcos_Beck]

I hope Williams lands you a good enough package!!

[cb4raptorscb4]

Williams to Houston...?

[rh0xxy]

Williams to Sacramento most probably..

[KW]

Williams to Houston...?
