The “This League” pod with Stein and Haynes went through names today:
DFS: Mav’s are prepared to discuss DFS (which is a change). Stein doesn’t think Utah is breathlessly pursuing DFS and their reported ‘interest’ is overblown.
Bones: Haynes says there are issues between player and team. Bones wants a bigger role. One of the more likely players to move. Minnesota and Charlotte were names that were brought up….but probably not Minnesota out of spite over the Connelly departure from Denver to Minnesota
Thybulle: Sacramento has their eye on this. Other reporters have mentioned GS as well. Very polarizing player in Philly. Some love him and some think his lack of O is a killer.
Crowder: Milwaukee and Miami are interested, but Phoenix is holding out for more than is being offered with the belief he’s a player that is the final piece for a team. The bet is Milwaukee eventually getting this done.
Bojan: Arguably the best player who is ‘in play’ (assumes top Toronto players are not ‘in play’). Long list of teams that want him (including Dallas). One source tells Stein Detroit is serious about the hard line they’ve taken and is fine with not dealing him. Haynes thinks Detroit is “posturing”.
OG: Raptors are listening to proposals. NOP is definitely eyeing him. Haynes thinks there is a chance he’s moved. Until recently Haynes didn’t think he would be moved. Stein would have said no way on OG. Memphis and NOP are trying to “box out” each other as neither wants the other to get him.
Reddish: Stein says ‘he has to be traded’. He has 27 straight DNP-CD’s. He thinks one second and an expiring contract gets this done. Haynes says two teams…Cleveland and Dallas are in on this. Stein says ‘the Mav’s have tried’, but they don’t have the small-ish contract necessary. FO in NY isn’t all that interested in Reggie (coach maybe, but not Front Office).
One More Thing…. Will Barton is open to a change of scenery. Milwaukee and Brooklyn were named as interested parties.
So, the Mav mentions were DFS, Bojan and Reddish.
