    It's almost as if Hayward could have more than one preference.

    It's not like wanting to play with Hill means he doesn't want to play with Rubio, and vice versa.

    Durant never said he wanted to play with Oladipo, just said "you're gonna love it here."

    LeBron is a weird case. Don't know why he pushed so hard for them to draft Napier, but I seriously doubt a late first round rookie point guard would have been the main factor in LeBron staying or leaving anyway.

      Yeah I mean it would be weird if he were to say no I don't like Rubio I would hate to play with that guy.

          Exactly. Wasn't Lebron supposed to sign right back with the Heat after he opted out so they could pay Wade more money too? Lol

          We should be used to this by now when it comes to players and FA, lol. Take these types of reports with a grain of salt until it's official. That should be the ONE thing we've learned over the years.

            Why would any team trade anything for Rose when they can sign him outright?

              I don't think Lebron even really pushed for the Heat to draft Shabazz, it was literally based off a tweet that Lebron complimented Shabazz during the tournament, so the Heat did it thinking maybe it would help.

                It's gonna suck next year when we're waiting two weeks into July for LeBron's *** to make his decision and hold up free agency. This year has been great with ALL the **** going down leading up to and now after the start of free agency. There's only Hayward left as far as the big names go left out there this year. Unlike years past where by this point we didn't have jack because nobody was doing nothing the whole time.

                  While I agree, MIL's offense went AWOL in the playoffs. They badly need guys who can create their own shot.

                  I had no idea MIL had the 4th highest payroll in the league at the moment.

                        DeAndre Jordan held all of free agency hostage while he himself was being held hostage.

                        I think LeBron learned his lesson the first time around. That was a terrible PR move.

                          Reports saying Durant taking nearly $10 mm less than the max.

                            Durant took a pretty steep discount...like 20%

                                Probably a player option for second year so he can sign a super max after next season.

                                There is a report that the Warriors could generate as much as $300 million from PSLs at Chase Center.

                                If that's the case, the players don't need to give discounts to help with luxury taxes.

                                Then again, in Durant case, he has a $500 million deal with Nike, who are probably ecstatic that he went to the Warriors and won Finals MVP. They were supposedly not amused when Curry won the MVP in the 2015 and 2016 seasons, a ring and the hype from the 73 wins season, all while being sponsored by Under Armour.
