[AlbertPullhoez]

Anybody got any word on who the Spurs been looking at or working out? Or who's projected to go to them?

We need perimeter help, preferably a SF

typical spurs type guys lol. i saw Hernangomez as a possibility but that may just be an educated guess based on their past.

lot of teams want him. It depends on what we package him with.

Personally I think he should stay here.

Team president Phil Jackson has given up hope that Duke’s Jahlil Okafor will fall to the Knicks with the No. 4 pick in Thursday’s draft, writes Marc Berman of The New York Post. Jackson doesn’t talk much to other teams, Berman notes, but he has a connection to the Lakers through fiancée and team co-owner Jeanie Buss. Los Angeles holds the second pick and is believed to be interested in the Duke center.

Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky has the skills and maturity that appeal to Heat president Pat Riley, Winderman writes in a separate story. Miami already has Chris Bosh at power forward, backed up by McRoberts and Haslem, but Kaminsky is the type of player who could fit the system, especially if one of the veterans is traded. Winderman has Kaminsky ranked as the second-best power forward in the draft, behind Kristaps Porzingis of Latvia.

How about
Bjeica and 31 or 36 to Wizards for 19?

Bjeica/31 to Portland for 23?

To answer your question the main 3 guys to follow for NBA draft and free agency rumors are Adrian Wojnowski (SP), Jonathan Givony, Marc Spears.

The Philadelphia 76ers, with the No. 3 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, have their eyes on forward Kristaps Porzingis in next week's draft, according to ESPN's Chad Ford:

We've been hearing both [Emmanuel] Mudiay and [D'Angelo] Russell's name here for months. But over the past few weeks multiple sources around the league suspect that Sam Hinkie may actually be leaning toward Porzingis. He's an odd fit given the Sixers abundance of big men (though news that Joel Embiid's foot hasn't healed may change the fit analysis). But Hinkie has always drafted based on the best player available strategy. He doesn't draft for need. So while the team needs Mudiay or Russell more, if he believes Porzingis is the best player on the board, so be it. Or, as one rival GM opined, this Porzingis intel is all a smoke screen to get Orlando (who loves Porzingis) to trade up to three and give Hinkie another coveted asset. I believe Porzingis's camp would strongly prefer he land in Orlando. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out in the next few weeks.

Hinkie is a fukkboi if he takes Kristaps and keep him.
