GS will wait for Beal but probably make their picks...

SamStetz with a good minute by minute recap on Woj Special...

- Pistons still working through draft workouts, still expected to take Cade
- Woj believes OKC attempts to trade into top 5...teams at top of draft are anticipating OKC to try and trade up
- CLE has to come out with impact player, anticipates it will be hard for them to trade away their pick
- Sexton trade would not be “for picks”
- Warriors looking for veteran, Woj thinks that Bradley Beal fits the assets the Warriors have (unsure they have interest in Simmons at the current asking price) if Beal isn’t available he thinks GSW use their own picks

Thanks to Sam for this recap so far on Discord..

- Beal still deciding on his future with team, but he knows he has to decide before the draft
-  Boston/Miami/GSW/Philly are teams Lowe mentions
- Beal could be sold on winning culture that isn’t a glamor market
- Beal is looking for reasons to stay but he wants to win
- Kawhi can hit FA if he wants, Woj says when asked about if he can leave Clippers “I have no indication he’s interested in anything other than resigning”
- LAC are proceeding as if he is resigning, there is an expectation he could miss the next season

- Ben Simmons latest: 76ers are engaged in taking and making offers...it will be serious this week but they can’t make the wrong deal so they are going to be very careful but very aggressive
- Lowe mentions a McCollum/Simmons swap as something that makes sense, but unsure if that meets Morey’s asking price
- If they S&T for Lowry (or other lead guard) they can move Simmons later after trying to build his value back up

Dallas in mix for Dennis Schr...

- Dennis Schroder turned down 4/84 extension during the season, NOP, CHI, NYK, DAL mentioned by Woj as teams with money as potential suitors
- LAL cannot replace him if he leaves
- Kuzma + KCP has been sent in offers to almost every team...Lakers desperately need playmaker
- Doubt S&T are very complicated and unlikely for Lakers
- CP3 wants to be west coast near family, Suns have lots of decisions with extensions + FAs
- How much Suns want to spend is key...Suns could be competing with numerous teams for CP3 if he opts out

It seems more FA than draft rumors...

- Brooklyn Big 3 all up for extensions

- optimism that Griffin would like to come back, but Jeff Green wants more than minimum (mention Bucks as potential landing spot for Green)

Thanks for sending recap on here Clutch! Easier for me to hop on and off discord on my phone to break down something like that...gonna be a distracting week it looks like with the heavy potential for rumors before and during the draft! I believe there are 13 teams (Dallas included) that do not have a draft pick in the second round...I anticipate lots of late draft movement

My pleasure! I'm very grateful to be a part of this AMAZING Maverick community...I spent so much time on here as a lurker in the past always refreshing the page for Clutch's twitter updates every draft/FA/TDL season, glad that I decided to be a more active poster!

Hmmm.  Can we program in an auto-refresh by draft night?

An interesting idea, I’ll toss it in the Discord in case the mods check there before seeing your suggestion here (I would love to not have to refresh the page constantly when rumors are flying)

Not sure that is an option but will look into the settings later today...

As of now discord does not need to be f5ed...

This would give Pels flexibility to either resign Ball or have plenty of cap space (Lowry?)
