Did he answer the part about whether the teams have interest in a trade? I wonder if any discussions have progressed or if Dell is simply making exploratory calls.

Yeah MM even responded to someone else who thought he meant the same thing. He didn't mean Jrue is being discussed. He meant the players we are looking at are on the same level as Jrue and if you think Jrue is impact then you will think they are as well, if not you won't .

Is PP considering in that tweet that Jrue is on that table for trade?
if Hill is looking now for a one year contract why dont we sign him? He would be gone afer next year when the money is needed and he would definitely help to get to the playoffs
You mean?

Frankly I was kinda wishing he wasn't the NBA's biggest hoarder anymore..And sort of rooting for him.
Ainge's failures are leading to a tougher West.
I would much rather Butler and/or George end up in Boston instead of in the West lol.....Or Hayward, or even Milsap for that matter.
Ainge has to be one of the largest indirect contributing factors to the West getting even stronger. Adam Silver needs to find Stern and get some "basketball reasons" going on that man.
ESPN Sources: Kevin Durant will agree to re-sign with Golden State on a two-year, approximately $53 million deal, league sources tell ESPN.

ESPN Sources: The second year of Kevin Durant's deal will be a player option.
— Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) July 3, 2017
Typo on option, obviously. Durant will sign a one-plus-one, with a player option for 2018-19. $25 million 1st yr (Max would've been 34.5)
— Sam Amick (@sam_amick) July 3, 2017
Wow! That’s $9.8M less than the max ($34.7M) and $6.8M less than his Non-Bird rights would allow ($31.8M)! https://t.co/jqKUD3XVTN

KD reaaaaallly wants to play in the Bay. I mean he will get as much as Otto Porter...
Silver better get on this and fix it. This is bad for the entire league.
It wasn't enough that Durant went to an already loaded team but now he keeps himself grossly underpaid to keep the talent pooled in one place.
Owners have to be furious as all non Warrior fans should be
Side story about Durant: If Andre Iguodala had left, I'm told Durant was going to give even more than this back to make room for Rudy Gay.

can definitely say that KD's doing everything he can to keep this GSW thing going
I mean if players want to take less money I can't really fault it.
What is frustrating is this Frankenstein set-up of a league where you say you want more parity and more equity between franchises. More similar to the NFL. But then you produce a system where you still let the Yankees mentality thrive. Just with more window dressing and a penalty structure that really only hits the teams that don't have deep pockets.
Where you have GS, what is it, spending upwards of 200-400 million after salaries and taxes by 2021? What are you actually producing as a product with a set-up where the structures you put in place aren't working the way they were designed to? It certainly isn't stopping some of these teams from bloating their rosters. It frankly isnt even helping the non-star players get paid better the way the union argued. So what is this current structure achieving in terms of its goals? I don't really see anything.
The league has always depended basically on player greed to maintain some semblance of balance. Once you can no longer count on that...its why I have long been in favor of a more player friendly version of a franchise player rule for the NBA. In the NBA of all sports that one player means everything, and if guys won't stay with their franchises with a carrot then you really need to use a stick.
As far as getting the Warriors to break up, well, that's a problem. No system ever anticipates a talent of K.D.'s level to be so gutless.
A hard cap makes this a non issue.

Worth every penny if you ask me.
A hard cap is pernicious in other ways though. Specifically, it ruins the concept of "team", and the fan's connection to it. Turns things instead into a endless series of 1 offs where every time you get successful and people get attached, you immediately have to break up the band as they all look to cash in.
And really, a hard cap might be broader than really needed too. The problem really isn't the scrubs moving around. Power shifts aren't about where Joe Ingles ends up. You just need to keep the major stars from piling together with their friends in the latest cool kids' spot.
That's also what might give you the best chance of getting it past the player's union. A rule which effects maybe 30 guys out of 300 might have a chance of passing, unless of course Chris Paul is still the president sitting there to protect the superstar class and never lets it get to a vote.
Warriors now have ~$126M guaranteed to 10 players. Can still use T-MLE ($5.2M), min, and/or various Bird levels to re-sign own free agents.

I guess they're offering Nick Young 5.2 mil per year and ring(s).

I can't be the only one checking PR every 10 minutes hoping we traded for Bledsoe LOL
