Fourth Mystery Team Could Schedule Last Minute Meeting With Gordon Hayward

Jun 30, 2017 11:25 AM

While the Utah Jazz, Boston Celtics and Miami Heat are the three teams with meetings scheduled with Gordon Hayward in free agency, a fourth team could get involved as well.

"It wouldn't shock me if a secret fourth team scheduled a last-minute meeting with him, either," writes Zach Lowe.

While Lowe doesn't suggest any potential candidates to be that fourth secret team, the Philadelphia 76ers, San Antonio Spurs and Denver Nuggets are three teams that would fit logically and either have enough cap space or could create enough.

The Spurs have pursued trade scenarios this offseason involving both Danny Green and LaMarcus Aldridge.

LaVar Ball: Jerry Colangelo Is A Helicopter Parent

Jun 29, 2017 5:36 PM

LaVar Ball was critical of Jerry Colangelo, who is the father of Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo.

The 76ers hired Bryan Colangelo to run the team after Jerry Colangelo was brought in as a consultant. 

“He’s worried about everything on the outside instead of getting the players,” Ball said. “He’s worried about the parents and all that, the people they’re around. You need to worry about what type of players you get for their system.”

Jerry Colangelo previously said the people around Lonzo Ball "present a challenge" when asked about the possibility of the 76ers drafting him.

“He said, ‘I don’t like the people around Lonzo,’” Ball said. “That’s the one where I’m just like, OK, what have you done? All you did was for the USA team, and now you’re son is running a business there and you a so-called consultant. You a helicopter parent, over there trying to tell your son what to do.”

Carmelo Anthony Was Previously Open To Trade To Wizards, 76ers

Jun 26, 2017 6:54 PM

Carmelo Anthony is currently reluctant to move out of New York for family reasons. Anthony and his wife are estranged and he continues to have a close relationship with his only son.

For that reason, Anthony is no longer as interested in playing in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Clippers have appeared to be the most realistic trading partner for Anthony in the past.

Anthony was considering accepting a trade to either the Philadelphia 76ers or Washington Wizards, which would keep him close to New York, but his mindset now is to remain with the Knicks.

Phil Jackson confirmed Anthony's position in an interview with MSG Network when the Knicks president said: "We've expressed the fact that we haven't been successful and it might be time for (Carmelo) to find an opportunity to go somewhere else. He's come back and said he'd just as soon stay.

Anthony is owed $54 million over the next two seasons.

76ers, Nets Expected To Pursue J.J. Redick

Jun 26, 2017 1:00 PM

The Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets are expected to pursue J.J. Redick in free agency. Both teams are in various stages of a rebuild, though the 76ers are far closer to competing for a playoff spot and can use a shooter of Redick's quality at shooting guard.

Reporters have consistently said they expect Redick to leave the Los Angeles Clippers this offseason for a more lucrative offer.

Redick is coming off a four-year, $27 million contract with the Clippers he signed in 2013.

Joel Embiid Recruits Kristaps Porzingis With 'Exit Meeting' Joke

Jun 22, 2017 12:55 AM

In the hours following an interview on MSG in which Phil Jackson continued to express his disappointment with Kristaps Porzingis skipping his exit meeting with the New York Knicks, Joel Embiid intervened recruiting his fellow young big man.


The Knicks are considering trading away Porzingis this offseason and have talked to all of the teams drafting in the top-5.

Porzingis had a chance to be drafted by the 76ers in 2015, but his camp did not allow the franchise to interview him. Sam Hinkie instead drafted Jahlil Okafor, who is not considered part of the 76ers' core.

Jun 21, 2017 11:18 PM

The New York have discussed Kristaps Porzingis trade scenarios with each of the teams in the top-5 of the lottery as well as the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings comprise the top-5.

The Suns have had recent conversations with the Knicks on Porzingis, while New York has also had substantive talks with at least two other teams.

The Knicks would like to target Josh Jackson if they do move up.

Phil Jackson expressed in an MSG interview that he's still disappointed that Porzingis skipping his exit meeting.

"I don't think I've ever had a player over 25 years of coaching not coming to an exit meeting, so it hasn't happened to me,'' Jackson said. "It happens to other people and other players. His brother and his agent have downplayed it, but still it's a chance for a person to express themselves. I had a real good relationship with Kristaps over the last two years. It was kind of surprising.''

In 2004, Shaquille O'Neal skipped his exit meeting with the Jackson-coached Lakers.
