Really don't want to move Lonzo. I think he's on the cusp of really breaking through. He's gonna be motivated every night by his brother to be more assertive which is what he's always lacked. When Lonzo is aggressive good things happen.

I think the FO is surprised at the lack of vocal leadership from Adams. He is a work from example type and think they were sold on a more vocal leader. Not saying that?s bad but we have a young team. If we are going to make lopsided trades for leadership then we need to be sure we are accomplishing leadership.

Personally, i think the vet leadership has sailed. Now we just need to make moves based on fit of what we trying to do. We have Zion, Adams. And Hart for leadership. I think Adams? follow by example leadership style is great. We just need to make moves from now on that make basketball sense. We are good in the leadership dept.

If Griffin can't get anything going. Full LeBron Puppet Status.

Sign a bunch of contracts done to trade at the deadline.. None of them gets trade.

I agree about Adams and Hart, I think that's a good starting point for vet leadership, at the ripe old age of 26 and 27. They both lead by example in the area where this team has been the worst, toughness, effort and consistency. Their leadership in that department is slowly rubbing off on the younger guys I think, but we'll see.

Most trades happen in that final stretch for most teams in most years anyway.

Lots of smoke over the last few days. Let's find out if there's any fire.

From what I've heard a lot of it is kind of being held up by the Raptors. Lots of teams have guys like Lowry as their priority with other guys as a backup plan, and nobody can really pull the trigger on their backups until they know what's happening with Lowry and the Raptors seem determined to wait until the 11th hour.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are finalizing a deal to send JaVale McGee to the Denver Nuggets, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

And so it begins

Denver is acquiring center Cleveland center JaVale McGee for Isaiah Hartenstein and two future protected second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

This deal feels fine for Denver and Cleveland both. Neutral to me.

Well.... Vucevic just got traded to Chicago!!!!....

**hornetzplaya** · 03-25-2021, 10:06 AM

Bulls are sending Wendell Carter Jr. and two first-round picks to the Magic, per sources. https://t.co/MNvJ8GmfeL

Wow, that came out of nowhere. Gotta think Magic blow everything up now.

**hornetzplaya** · 03-25-2021, 10:08 AM

Before they even traded Aaron gordon... That's interesting for sure. Well Lonzo to Chicago is looking real dim. Unless we're just taking back, Lauri and a filler player.

**hornetzplaya** · 03-25-2021, 10:10 AM

Here's the deal: The Bulls land Nikola Vucevic and Al Farouq Aminu for Otto Porter, Wendell Carter Jr., and two first-round picks. Huge addition for Chicago, who remains in pursuit of Lonzo Ball. The Magic are moving toward a rebuild now with Aaron Gordon deal on deck.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) March 25, 2021

Leaves you to wonder what return we would be getting...

**13 - 3** · 03-25-2021, 10:14 AM

That means Lonzo not going to Bulls. Wonder what happened if they pulled back?

Disreguard looks like Bulls still in on Lonzo

***PELICANSFAN*** · 03-25-2021, 10:28 AM

With Magic obviously blowing it up, could Ross be available for relatively cheap?

**ozwego15** · 03-25-2021, 10:30 AM

Boston is in serious talks to acquire Orlando guard Evan Fournier for two second-round picks, sources tell ESPN.

**HoustonPelicans** · 03-25-2021, 10:34 AM

If we trade Lonzo for Markennan I'd be sick.. We'd be crazy to resign Markennan. So Lonzo would basically be dumped.

**HoustonPelicans** · 03-25-2021, 10:35 AM

I wonder if Orlando would do Bledsoe, JJ and a couple 2nds for Porter

Highly doubt it. Porter is an asset cause he's an expiring contract.

Sixers close to Lowry Source: No neck on espn

Yeah. However, our expectations need to be moderate. Lonzo isn't a top 50 commodity. So I wouldn't be surprised if we find a way to trade Bledsoe and Lonzo centered around Lauri. Id be down for that. We don't HAVE to resign him.

Only until the end of today. He becomes a FA at year end.

So Denver gave up a "solid player" and future 2nd rounders for a backup center?

Well how about that.

**luckyman** · 03-25-2021, 10:58 AM

Well how about that again.
