One more bit of news, Dedmon is highly unlikely to resign. The big boys are on him and for 3-4 years as well. Money isn't great but its a chance to win a title and start.

Something like that. It would be 35/41 for Roberson and 21.

That would give us: 8/10/17/21

I would believe we would keep all four picks.

14 roster spots. One left for Dedmon. Sounds accurate. 

I know just from him and others, it seems like Dedmon is the only FA we are targeting. They like his fit with our starters.

 

VC name hasn't been mentioned since the before the Crabbe trade when I ask about FA targets

I would be down with 8/10/17/21 for sure.  I hope it happens.

We won’t draft 4 first round picks no way. It’s gonna be 2 most likely. 3 first round picks max but I don’t see that either. 2.

I'm thinking why not. Our GL team is here now - send one or two to the GL.

Draft 2 wings and 2 bigs.

Which of the big boys need a starting Center?

It is what it is.  I remember watching GSW (and other teams desperately needing bigs) thinking they clearly assumed they'd be able to get Deadman via buyout.

Makes it more likely The Destroyer is a Hawk tonite.

To me, drafting a guy like Hayes over Goga is like letting Horfo walk to pay Dwhine Howard.  Anybody remember Buttz trying to explain how Howard stretched the floor ... in reverse .. by drawing double teams in the post ... with his nonexistant post game ... whut?

One thing I love about ur destroyer and Goganani...at the very least he can bang home threes with ease. Shades of Pero’s antics reminisced.

Clippers

Lakers

Rockets have said to be interested 

Sixers as a backup

Warriors

Blazers have said to be interested 

Bucks are said to be interested. 

Not saying these teams will offer 3-4 years, just saying these are the teams mentioned and several have said he will get 3-4 year deals somewhere

What kind of money are we talking? Top teams may have only the MLE $9 mil.

Below MLE. 4/28 likely but it could be a bidding war, I could see 4/40. Just my take, I don't have any intel on that. Just that the teams involved want a stretch starting 5 for a cheaper cost. 

[REHawksFan]

Holy ish. I didn't know you could run outta 'likes'?  What is this monstrosity!?!?!  

I guess draft day aka Christmas in June for NBAers got me all excited.  I be like...

Spud  eats:

  

I’m getting  a huge Italian sub with mortadella, salami, ham and provolone. Spaghetti  and meatballs, and hot wings galore!

So he's looking to win rather than cash in?

So when do @Spud2nique and I show up for dinner?  I'll bring the (store bought, re-packaged to look homemade) dessert.
