Tell me again how Thibs doesn't burn his guys out with too many intense minutes until they all get injured. It's just Mike D all over again.

Really is going to be Giddy and Kenrich Williams for Nurk.

Suns keep 22 to get one of the big man prospects

The Suns will have to give up a pick.

I’m going to stand on a street corner with a cardboard sign detailing our sad story and begging for picks.

He does fill a need, PG, pace pusher, wing size, just worry that teams will make him beat them. Hopefully that'd be something Bud could solve.

I threw that out a few days ago but don’t see it as super likely. I think if they did put him on the market, they could get more than we can offer. Also, James Jones had those “shooting” comments recently in terms of what he was looking for.

But I do think a different Thunder player is a strong possibility: Gordon Hayward (next year’s EG).

Would have liked Alec Burks too, but he may be pricing himself out of the minimum with today’s game.

I think his market value is lower than many would expect.

The Thunder tried to keep him on the court in any way possible and he was still eventually benched. He's a RFA next summer, so how much are teams willing to give up when they know they'll have to pay to retain him?

I'm not a huge fan until he develops a shot off of the dribble, but obviously the upside is that he'll only be 22 next season.

Am I crazy for thinking the Pacers could give the Celtics a really tough series?

They just need to stop being so randomly stupid like in today's Game 7 when they were focused and excellent throughout.

I'll never believe they actually wanted to sign him. It was always a favor to his agent.

Minnesota has put together just an insane run against the Nuggets after being down 20. Guess I gotta get on board because can't let Dallas through.

Show me some proof of when they offered him. It was all media speculation.
