Lakers/Clippers in trade conversations about Knicks' Marcus Morris, sources. NY interested in Kyle Kuzma; would need Danny Green's contract to make work. NY would want to move Green to another team. Clippers willing to part with Mo Harkless, but like Landry Shamet, who NY wants.

To get Kuzma we have to swallow another year on Danny Green at fiiteen million.

Could we parlay Danny Green to the Clips for Harkless?


Kuzma and Harless for Morris is a good move.

a)  I dont think Lakers give Kuzma and Green for just Morris.  Of course we take it.
b)  not sure they like our other guys, might need a 3rd team like Magic (Smith)
c)  Rerouting Green has to be more than just a salary dump
d)  getting "stuck" with Green isnt the worst thing.  If Morris then re-upped that gives us Danny for a year to tutor RJ (doesnt matter which starts)

Dedmon walking to ATL with two 2nd's.  Sacto gets Bavaria and Len.   Pretty good dump for Vlade.   He gets to look at Jabari half a year.  Maybe free up enough $$ to resign Bog.

Not sure why ATL wanted Deadman since they just added Capela.   I guess they wanted the 2nds and still have over $30M to spend this Summer.  Better hope those 2nds are good,  because otherwise its a pretty questionable maneuver.

Likely see Dedmon move again tomorrow

Actually - just realized LEN went in that deal.  So leaves ATL with twin towers to share the spot.  Option to play both with Collins at the three - for limited minutes of course.  And can field offers on both Clint and Duane this summer.  Hawks seem to be operating wisely

Do we want Kevon Looney?  Warriors need to move him to gert under the tax.

Do we want any fringe Sixers players?  Philly needs to move 2 guys to make room for Burks and G Robinson.

[kiidcarter8]

How about Morris for Josh Richardson, Zhaire Smith and Jonah Bolden?

Leon Rose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leon Rose (born around 1961[1]) is an attorney and sports agent as well as the President of Basketball Operations for the New York Knicks. He represents a number of prominent NBA players, including Allen Iverson [2] and formerly LeBron James.[3]

Rose grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey and attended Cherry Hill High School East, where he played basketball and was later inducted into the school's hall of fame.[4] Rose graduated from Dickinson College, where he played on the basketball team, and earned his law degree at Temple University Beasley School of Law. He was inducted into the Philadelphia Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.[5]

Rose represented LeBron James from 2005 until 2012, when James left to join a new agency led by Rich Paul, who worked under Rose at CAA.[6] Rose and fellow CAA agent Henry Thomas, who at the time represented the Heat's Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, worked together to bring the three players together on the Miami Heat in 2010.[6] Rose negotiated a four-year deal for James with Miami.[6] He had previously negotiated a 2006 extension for James with the Cleveland Cavaliers.[6]

 A rose is  rose is a rose...see if this guy has the balls to stand up to Dolan, clean out the FO, and be deliberate...

Nice how Dolan is in full flavor of the month club - imitates what GS and Lakers do...did he call OK and ask to speak with Presti?  What about Buford.   long shots sure, but worth making a call, maybe he did, would like to know...

also, wonder if the chatter that Calipari (Rose client I believe) rumors will swamp the swamp ....

but at least we're moving on from Princeton guys who have been a disaster

[Kam]

Funny how Memphis added Jae Crowder to the deal along with Igoudala to Miami.

Not even his own team wanted Crowder anymore.

[kiidcarter8]

Memphis is cleaning up

Gets rid of the bum Crowder.  Solid vet Solon Hill also in the deal, as Dion Waiters comes with Winslow.

People who know what they're talking about have a different opinion ...

In A World Full Of Iggy-Ness, Jae Crowder Has Been A True Class Act For The Memphis Grizzlies

[Kam]

What people?  Link broken.

[bodiddley]

Link fixed.
Look in last post.

The Knicks inquired about the Pacers' Aaron Holiday, but there's no indication on how far talks have gone. (Marc Berman

[bodiddley]

He's also been the centerpiece of the Grizzlies’ growing chemistry as they've made a surprising playoff push. While teammates were all too eager to say goodbye to Iguodala, who hasn't been around the team since he was traded this summer, Crowder is beloved and respected.
Dillon Brooks said last month he'd like Crowder to stay and Ja Morant called him a big brother and an extra pair of eyes on the court.

That was all before he showed his ass at MSG.
