DRAFT DAY AND FREE AGENCY RUMORS 2021

This is a great deal for Memphis

The Pelicans have 'generated traction' with the Grizzlies in a deal that would send the 10th pick and Eric Bledsoe to Memphis for the Grizzlies' 17th pick, per @JakeLFischer

Utah is doing all of that for Conley lol

The Utah Jazz are known to be one of the few teams actually searching to move playoff-tested talent. Retaining Mike Conley is an offseason priority, sources said, and the Jazz have held numerous discussions with teams around the league about offloading salary to create room for Conley in free agency.

League personnel most often mention Joe Ingles as the Jazz wing to watch, and Bojan Bogdanovic and Royce O'Neale are also considered available for trade as Utah narrows its focus towards building a contender around Donovan Mitchell. The Jazz are also open to discuss trading their No. 30 pick, sources said

This seems like a horrible deal

And the Rockets have discussed a deal that would send Eric Gordon, plus Houston's No. 23 pick, to Indiana for the Pacers' 13th selection. There's an expectation that Indiana is once again gauging the trade market for Myles Turner.

This is giving me flashbacks of Kawhi, George Hill, but even worse

The Lakers and Kings have discussed a trade centered around Buddy Hield, per @ShamsCharania

Kyle Kuzma would likely be involved in any potential package.

[vnzla81]

Woj is saying that he expects Golden State to keep their picks unless Bradley Beal becomes available.

“Lakers are offering Kuzma/KCP to every team” Woj

The Knicks are having discussions to try to trade picks Nos. 19 and 21 to move up in the draft, sources said.

Oregon guard Chris Duarte, a projected top-20 pick, received an invite to the draft Green Room at Barclays Center and his stock is rising in eyes of teams. Golden State and New York are among the teams eyeing Duarte, who has a second workout with the Warriors on Sunday, sources said.

I would not be surprised to see him go at 7

I'll throw my Pacers 'action' out there.

Nothing. No trade. Don't move up. Don't move down. Pick an uninspiring player at 13 that will get garbage time minutes next year.

If anything, a move might involve 2nd rounders and/or an insignificant bench piece on the team now.

IE: Typical Pacers draft day.

[vnzla81]

Memphis (No. 17), Oklahoma City (16+18), New York (19+21), and Houston (23+24) are some of the teams NBA executives think will be the most active on draft day exploring moving up. Memphis and New Orleans look like potential trade partners. New ESPN mock:

Some type of deal involving Eric Bledsoe or Steven Adams for Justise Winslow (or the cap space declining his team option creates) with a pick swap of No. 10 for No. 17 is one trade scenario NBA executives expect to be under consideration for Memphis and New Orleans, among others.

That polo shirt is cutting off the blood flow to his brain if KP does this deal.

Unless they want to attach to that trade a swap of Turner for the #2. Then we're into something. Don't think Houston would take kindly to that idea.
