David Griffin: "As much as we talk about the big sexy deals, the deal The Clippers made with the Lakers to get Zubac for Muscala was genius. It gives them a potential starting center on a $1.9m cap hold while they go fill out their roster. It's a brillian

Bontemps Let's call a spade a spade The Pacers made that trade because they're cheap Ivica Zubac is a good player but they made that trade amp gave up a premium to get him because he's on a very good contract so they could probably stay under the luxury tax which they haven't paid in 20 years

DLLS Mavs Marc Stein If Milwaukee ends up doing the Giannis to Miami deal Tyler Herro obviously has to be in it If they can either make it a 3-team trade or turn Tyler Herro into a draft asset or two from Detroit that makes the overall package you get from Miami more attractive

ALLCITY Marc Stein When it comes to Miami we know the bulk of the players on the table for Giannis Its Herro its Ware its Jaquez its the 13th pick Theres other unspecified draft considerations we havent confirmed that would presumably be in the deal Maybe more players

ESPN MacMahon My understanding is if there's going to be an extension between Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers there's going to have to be legitimate negotiations He's going to have to take a pay cut I believe to extend with the Clippers

Kenny Atkinson praised the owner saying Dan Gilbert enlightened him by prophetically reminding him that Jarrett Allen is the key to everything

Bill Simmons I heard this too during the weekend Could the Clippers with the 5th pick move in to the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade and be the 3rd team And then the second piece of this Would they then send Kawhi to Miami as a consolation prize for additional assets
