I think this is a good sign and I’ll add this tweet as well:

Would be lying if I said I wasn't holding my breath.

Well I obviously can't give my opinion on that trade idea

Sure you can give it but yeah, we already know how you feel about your "boys".

I can be objective enough lol if it is a move to improve the team
Would be a bummer but in this instance don't think this makes us better
Bagley double double stats or general box scores can look solid and no doubt the kid is a talent but his awareness doesn't strike me to be too good. Lots of lapses on D and his athleticism not really used on that end. Could just be maturity but yea that's just my opinion

Let's see... That was 5 hours ago. RIP FF!

Can't get rid of me that easily.

I have a feeling we’re getting Cody Zeller, can someone convince me that’s a good move?

He's just a solid big, double double per 36, knows how to play in limited minutes but can start if needed.

He’s a guy I’ve obviously been aware of, but not sure I’ve paid any attention to his career. Does he shoot at all? Can he defend? I’m worried we’re gonna sign him to replace the Saric Minutes and he proves to be unplayable in the playoffs in certain series. If he’s our 3rd big and we sign another more small ball style 5 as well, then I’d feel better. But I’m a little worried if he’s our big signing.

I think he'd help against more size and traditional bigs. He's bigger than Dario, a bit more athletic and vertical finishing inside. Not a great outside shooter but better finisher. We'd still need a more athletic 4/5 to handle some faceup bigs for sure.

Seems like a guy you could use against the Lakers but probably not against the Clippers

These guys do a good job:

While we're there, here are their other videos in the series:

Ha, part of the reason I have a feeling we’re gonna sign him is that was their one video I didn’t feel excited to watch, so I skipped it, haha. Just watched it now though. Seems ok, he’ll rebound and he’s a decent short roll man. Can attack the basket or even pass a little in the short roll. Defense was my bigger worry, but it seems like he is more capable of switching than I gave him credit for. Still don’t love giving him the full MLE or him being our biggest addition though. I want a small ball 5 option like Jeff Green or Nicolas Batum.

I can't. He's god-awful on defense after we lost the finals because we couldn't defend the opposition's frontcourt.

I wouldn't have a problem with Zeller as the backup center and Kaminsky as the 3rd center IF they manager to find an athletic big forward who can defend and rebound.

Of course if they do that and re-sign Payne and perhaps Craig the frontcourt gets really crowded.

But that's a lot better problem than having a roster littered with players like Bender, Jackson and Chriss!

Ya I’m fine if we go get Zeller for like the BAE and then pick up a more playoff capable 4/5 with the MLE. Just gonna be dissapointed if our big addition to running it back is adding Cody zeller. That’s not going to really move the needle at all.

NY Post is saying the Knicks could make a run at Payne. They supposedly have these "big plans" with this year's capspace or will wait until next offseason. I don't know that they'd use major capspace for Payne, unless their plan is to get him on a reasonable 12-15mil deal over 3-4 years to use in a future trade for a star like Lillard or Beal. Or they could give him a bigger 1 year deal just to use hit the cap floor like they did a few seasons ago.

Not sure if Jake Fischer is legit. Suns usually tight-lipped.

Noel fits so well, that we are not going to even make him a call, right?
