DAL OFFSEASON: Trade & FA | Mavs "mostly done...but you never know."

[Hypermav]

Ok, this is from NBASupes, so judge me if you want, but I feel like some people want to read it. I'm posting it. I hope this is not true, because it would mean the end of some pretty great things we've been discussing. 

BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!
This one is a blockbuster but not the one I've been talking about. 

Atlanta has agreed to a framework deal with MIN in a Jrue Holiday deal where they would get #13, #17, and a 2nd rounder for 6th overall pick. MIN has been targeting Atlanta to move up for awhile. Even offering Culver and #17 which thankfully fell on deaf ears but this one is huge. He was been hearing Atlanta was targeting two mid 1sts if they moved down and this would be it. This would save Atlanta some salary which is needed for the blockbuster deal and Hayward signing. 

As mentioned, PHX is targeting Jrue Holiday if CP3 falls through which it will and NO wants a top 5 pick for him. He was told NO wants as little amount of salary for Holiday as possible and would prefer to move him for mainly just cap space. Cleveland has shown interest in moving back and adding Rubio/Oubre. There has been interest in even taking on Kevin Love contract from PHX as well. 

NO is targeting LaMelo Ball and wants to trade #5 and #13 to MIN for Ball. 

MIN is targeting two top 6 picks in this draft and want two of Haliburton, Deni, and Obi. I haven't heard Okongwu's name but he could be in the mix. 
I don't know who the hell Atlanta would target at 13 and 17. My guess just based on having some interest in is Achiuwa, Nesmith, Jalen Smith, Cole Anthony, Tyrell Terry, Kira Lewis Jr., Killian Hayes, Devin Vassell, Tyrese Maxey, and R.J. Hampton.

According to him (Supes), LAC and PHX are fighting over Chris Paul. PHX has the better offer, but either team would need Paul to WANT to play there, and the Clippers are confident that they're going to be his choice. If so, they are the favorites to land Holiday, and in that scenario they have a team (Cleveland) who wants Oubre/Rubio.

If Paul goes to LAC, the package will be built around Lou Williams and Pat Beverly, and supposedly OKC has buyers lined up for them, too. So, I guess we can start speculating on what it would take to get Beverly. 

I hate basketball.

I was just going to post the Supes update only cuz Rubio is falling through the cracks.  Be prepared for Tobias.
