Sacramento is finalizing a deal to send Nemanja Bjelica to the Miami. Heat, sources tell ESPN.

Interesting. Feels like there's got to be more going on for Miami here, that seems very tame for a team that has been looking for that spark all year

OKC’s George Hill is a target for Philly, per sources. With the #Raptors’ high demands for Kyle Lowry, I’m told the #Sixers are considering less expensive point guards - with Hill being one of them. https://t.co/AIGpMS26H7

I was thinking the same thing. However I think AG probably let them know he would only sign with a few teams. Denver was probably one of them.Originally Posted by Pelicanidae
The Oklahoma City Thunder are finalizing trading George Hill to the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.

Hill's off to Philly
Sad that Hill could be worth more than JJ and Bledsoe combined. Griff swung and missed by not including Bledsoe in Adams trade instead of Hill.

Philadelphia is acquiring OKC's George Hill for Tony Bradley, Terrance Fergusson and two future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Austin Rivers goes to OKC as part of a three-way deal.

Three-way deal with Knicks. Terrance Ferguson to New York in the trade, per sources. https://t.co/NU3JgmUV0k

Toronto has traded Norm Powell to Portland for Gary Trent and Rodney Hood, sources tell ESPN.

This is a bad trade, imo, for Toronto.
More than we are apparently able to get for JJ. Also, appears we may have to attach an asset to dump Bledsoe. Would rather the Hill deal.
Also LMAO at a Doc Rivers team kicking Austin Rivers out again
I never understood why we took on Bledsoe and not George Hill.
I'm not the most knowledgeable guy about the guys around the league on other teams, but I preferred Hill to Bledsoe. After that shrinking in that Boston series there was no way I would have wanted Bledsoe on my team. Ugh.
Are we happy with Griff's move making and how do we feel about Trajan's eye for talent? Our guys seem like odd fits at times.

Definitely would rather Hill over Bledsoe. But the other big problem in that trade is the extension of Adams. Would be amazing to be able to head into free agency with money.
Everyone preferred Hill to Bledsoe. Which is why other teams would take Hill in a trade and not Bledsoe.
A lot of ''why did we move Hill, not Bledsoe'' takes can be sufficiently answered with ''cause nobody wanted Bledsoe, so you couldn't move him''.
But we could have included him in Adams trade and chose not to.
Only if OKC wanted him. If they didn't, which apparently they didn't, they could have just not made the trade. It's not like they declare themselves in before they see the other team's offer.
Waiting for the deadline to pass and for us to have done nothing.
Think about it. Adams' contract was widely seen as one that would take an attachment of an asset to move. Griff gave them a 1st and 2 2nds for him. Do you think they bail on that by refusing to take Bledsoe instead of Hill? No way.
About 24% of Vuc's possessions are post ups. About 10% of Adams' are post ups. Who's old school back to the basket?
Point is, after these deals for Vuc and Javale McGee, anyone who says Griff somehow overpaid for Adams is just that much more out of touch.
We were in the driver's seat not OKC. They were the ones wanting to dump Adams; we could have dictated the terms of that trade but dropped to our knees instead. We ended up scrambling to make 'make the fill' and make it work, when Bledsoe would have done the trick easily.

Oh great. We’ll be the Celtics with none of the market size or prestige.
With 2 hours until deadline, asking price for Lonzo Ball remains more than just Lauri Markkanen. Bulls' draft capital depleted from Vucevic trade and expiring Porter salary makes expanding deal difficult. Fluid situation.
— K.C. Johnson (@KCJHoop) March 25, 2021
It's not *that* difficult. Include Thad Young and a First along with Markkanen, and take back Melli for salary purposes. Then we good.
I wish it was this simple. I don't see the Bulls doing that.
Nor do I, but then the question isn't whether it's ''difficult'' for them to do it, it's just whether they will.
Agreed. Just don't see us doing anything. Sigh

The good news is the Bulls are most certainly in so maybe the Knicks feel a bit of pressure to offer more than a chew toy. Bad news is the Bulls just made the deal for Vucevic, so the price went down quite a bit as they lack assets apart from Lauri and maybe Coby.
