Does OKC keep Bertans? Or do they try to unload him for another player?
Rory Maher
8:47
I'm very surprised Dallas was able to dump his salary so easily. Just depends on if OKC can find another deal to re-route him.
Wannes
8:47
Do you see Wizards still moving some of the recently acquired players tonight? (Gallinari, Muscala or Shamet)
Rory Maher
8:48
Hard to get a read on the Wizards since their front office is so new. I'm sure they'd be open to moving any of them, though I doubt Gallinari has much value given his age and coming off a torn ACL.
Jake
8:49
Will the Warriors play 3 guards including Paul, or will he come off the bench to spell Steph and Kay
Rory Maher
8:49
I think he'll come off the bench, but he could be in some closing lineups.
Brandon

Does THJ or McGee have any trade value? Gonna be hard for the Mavs to unload those to pick up better players right without another pick
Rory Maher
8:51
THJ would have more value despite his contract being significantly larger. Still, neither player has positive value, imo.

With Dallas ending up with Lively II (a center), does anyone think packaging Lively along with Hardaway Jr.  and Jalen Hardy to Cleveland for Jarrett Allen is a possibility?
Rory Maher
8:52
Don't see Cleveland going for that. THJ doesn't address the wing issue. I do think Hardy has real upside.
Guest
8:53
Everyone wants to make trades for players teams are not willing to deal. Allen is not moving IMO
Nick

Anyone at hoopsrumors get the night off? Or is all hands on deck?
Rory Maher
8:53
Haha. The draft and free agency are extremely busy for us, to say the least.
Disappointed Hawks guy
8:53
Why should I like the Bufkin pick? I would’ve rather they taken a shot on Whitmore. If he doesn’t work out, no biggie. If he does, you got a top 5 pick at 15
Rory Maher
8:54
A lot of people were high on Bufkin. He's younger than a lot of freshman despite being a sophomore. Supposed to be a nice defender. Real upside there, from scouting reports I've read.
8:55
Hawks already have a lot of wings too. Hunter, Bey, Griffin, etc.

Now we're in the real "lottery" portion of the draft. The odds of any one of these guys having a big NBA career is:
Rory Maher
8:58
Quite high, I'd say. You can go back through previous drafts and find a lot of very good players later in the first round and sometimes into the second (or even undrafted, in some cases).

Whitmore to miami for me best fit
Rory Maher
8:59
A lot of mocks had them linked to Jaime Jaquez in recent days, though that seemed to be his ceiling.

Knick Fan: Really wanted Kobe Bufkin. Young Man in really good. 50-40-90 ish at the end of their season. Finished at about 72% at the rim. If we have to lose IQ, that was his replacement.
Rory Maher
9:01
I don't have anything to add, but maybe this will cheer up the disappointed Hawks guy?
9:02
Rockets trying to move up from No. 20, plus a few other rumors: https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2023/06/western-rumors-suns-jazz-pelicans-...
Mike O
9:02
Are there any rumors surrounding the Bulls? Are they just going to stand 0 and accept mediocrity?
Victor bulls fan
9:03
Bulls doing anything tonight?
Rory Maher
9:03
They're said to be gauging the value of multiple players and were rumored to be looking to trade into the first round.
9:04
They definitely should be trying to reshape the roster. Everyone know that at this point.
Brad tha god stevens
9:04
who would the Celtics be targeting at 25?
what would the C’s be looking for in a sign and trade for grant Williams
Rory Maher
9:06
They'll probably target an experienced college player who's closer to being ready to contribute right away. Hard to peg Williams' trade value. Sign-and-trade deals are more complicated. Could be as simple as a trade exception. I wouldn't expect a lot on that front.

Do we see the thunder moving any guards with the Wallace pick? So many guards on roster
Carson
9:06
We thinking the the thunder might be up to something drafting wallace. It just seems weird that they’d add another guard to the guard heavy roster
Rory Maher
9:07
They really like versatile players who can handle the ball. Their system is fun to watch because of that.
9:08
Jaquez to the Heat at No. 18, as I mentioned could be a possibility earlier.
AMS
9:09
Thunder added Bertans -- not a guard.
Rory Maher
9:09
They took on Bertans' contract to draft Cason Wallace from Kentucky, who's a guard.
9:10
Another shooter/passer/high IQ guy for the Warriors after trading for Paul.
