That's cool! Finally we have a superstar that is trying to recruit people! Jrue can go and let Boogie recruit some guys!

considering the report earlier today that Jrue & the team have a tight bond after his wife's health scare... I would find that odd

Why is Jrue the only player the NBA waiting until midnight to negotiate a deal?

This guy isn't verified & he got offered a 5 year deal with the Pels... Pacers don't make this any worse than it has to be. https://t.co/eiLsIP12LR

Jeff Teague rumored to 3yr 55m deal. This should set the market for PGs if true.

That's a lot lower than I expected. Yet there's a ton of fans saying he's overpaid at that amount.

Clue: All fans hate all their players that aren't superstars and think they are overpaid.

Dell had to call Jrue's bluff. I know it's a HUGE risk, but I'd offer him 15% more than Teague signs for and offer to sign his brother for half the MLE so they can play together.

No way Indiana give him anything close to the max, they are in rebuilding mode now. Dell better have the balls to not go much above market value for Jrue, especially after what Teague got.

So any interest in trying to acquire Evan Fournier if Ingles goes to Orlando?

Lmao the same thought occured to me. Presti has some balls to make this trade after KD just bolted. Should be a fun team to watch at the very least.

AD and Boogie gotta be great. If they're great, sure lets go get Fournier too. But with the way the West is shaping up, AD and Boogie have to be G-R-E-A-T or it doesn't really matter how much Dell give Jrue or what else they do.

Lauren Holiday is from Indianapolis. It makes total sense for them to make a play for Indy. Dell shouldn't overthink this, work out something with Pritchard immediately that helps us move forward.

Westbrook and George have both been rumored as future Lakers. Presti is going to be hella nervous if Westbrook doesn't sign that extension in 90 minutes.

Jrue probably isn't offering to do a sign and trade. He can't squeeze the Pelicans if he leaves them with that option. I think Jrue's agent is playing hardball and threatening to just walk if they don't get exactly what they want. Dell still has to trust his valuation and draw the line. I hope Teague signs quick. 15% more than Teague would be my limit, and that's paying a premium

Then Dell has to let it ride. If Teague goes for 3/55, then that means his first deal of 4/100 is more than fair. I think Boogie would understand and that's certainly a defensible position to the higher ups if he's worried about his job. There have to be better options out there.

Teague is about to sign with the T wolves for 3 years for $55 million, and Jrue will get over $100 million from the Pels. What a frickin joke...

If Jrue Holiday doesn't reach deal with Pelicans in their meeting in wee hours, he has agreed to meet with Knicks, per source.

Knicks dont have the cap space. This effort by the Holiday camp is so obvious. Unfortunately, we are still going to pay a ton.

Best news we can hear tonight is the Pels sign no one and Jrue is visiting with another team. Unfortunately I feel like Dell is going to screw this franchise for years with an albatross of a contract

So we ignore certain rumors and act like others are forgone facts? If Dell is giving Jrue an "albatross" contract, then why the rumors of Jrue visiting with other teams? Pacers and now the Knicks. We ignoring that?

Who would Jrue even meet with in NY? Who is calling the shots there? the Statue of Liberty, Ed Koch, a Subway rat?

I hope he takes as many meetings as he can, and we entertain as many free agents as possible during the same period of time.

HeyMyth wait until CP3 realizes he's throwing alley-oops to Nene/Capela instead of the 2 jumping beans in LA . Rude awakening for CP.
