I guess there’s an off chance that Cavs executive Koby Altman was sleep-deprived enough to take it. So why not ask for both and a pick on top of it? Certainly neither would Mobley for Harris. A deal of Harris for Allen wouldn’t have happened. It seems like Morey is acting like a car dealership in the way he’s negotiating. Pompey said the Sixers knew it was out of line. “Last week, sources told The Inquirer the Sixers are overvaluing Harris and asking for ‘outrageous packages in return.’ That goes in line with what a source said the Sixers told the Cavs what it would take days before the draft: A package of Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley and a draft pick.Ī source said Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey ‘isn’t negotiating in good faith.’” The real shock was the reported trade talks between Sixers executive Daryl Morey and the Cleveland Cavaliers. He also mentioned Indiana as a possibility. He reported that Phoenix showed some interest, but there wasn’t a fit with a potential trade. Something caught the internet’s collective eye this weekend when Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote about the trade market for Tobias Harris. Go look around at any new-ish looking car, and you’ll assume everybody is paying a mortgage each month to drive it.ĭealerships are operating in pure bad faith because they can. A car that might have cost you $400 a month is now like $950 a month with a crazy amount of money put down. Dealerships are claiming federal rates have handcuffed them, and therefore, all potential monthly payments are through the roof. Have you tried leasing a car lately? It’s insane. Banchero averaged 20 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists as a rookie with the Magic. It all finally paid off with Hill getting a major commitment for the Americans. In the meantime, he played one season at Duke, where new Team USA managing director Grant Hill is a legend, and Hill continued to pursue Banchero after he was drafted. But the Games were delayed a year due to COVID-19, and Banchero never appeared with the Italians. The 20-year-old was given an Italian passport in early 2020 (his father is of Italian descent) with the idea that he would play for Italy in the Tokyo Olympics. but has an Italian passport, had previously said he would play for Team Italy this summer. Over the weekend, The Athletic’s Joe Vardon and I reported on another roster-influencing decision ahead of this summer’s FIBA World Cup, with reigning Rookie of the Year Paolo Banchero choosing to commit to Team USA over Italy.īanchero, who was born in the U.S. We’ll have you updated on everything from around the league leading up to the floodgates opening up Friday night. Friday, June 30, the sometimes divided focus of NBA decision-makers has shifted entirely toward the options available to them on the market and via trades. Always keep it 85 to leave room for arguing with people you’ll never see again.
And history tells us that’s what we should expect. It sounds like the thing to say before you trade Ayton for much-needed roster depth. That becomes a lot easier to do with Ayton gone and replaced by three veterans or maybe even three kids stacked on top of one another in a trench coat.

They could have control over Jock Landale and Darius Bazley with restricted free agency if they choose.Įverything else relies on praying that veterans take discounts to chase rings with this team. As of right now, Cam Payne, Ish Wainright, Jordan Goodwin and Isaiah Todd are the other players under contract. Moving Ayton for depth is something the Suns desperately need right now. The Suns are already at the luxury tax with those four players on the books this season. Uh … why? Why would Phoenix do that? No offense to Ayton, who is a fine big man, but that doesn’t make a lot of sense.
He said the Suns believe Ayton’s value is at an all-time high.
(I really hate those emails from annoyed parties over sensitive word choice.) I thought about this more over the weekend after a report from Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report that said the Phoenix Suns are moving forward with keeping Deandre Ayton alongside Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal. Sometimes, you probably have to lie or mislead or whatever the semantics are that won’t get someone mad at me. Three days later, Poole was sent to the Washington Wizards in a trade package for Chris Paul. Recently, Mike Dunleavy Jr., the newly minted replacement for Bob Myers in Golden State, said he planned to have Jordan Poole around for at least four more years - the length of his current contract.
