Could Ujiri possibly be buy our way into the draft rather than tanking?

    Ross for Afflalo???? LOL, that would be one of the dumbest moves MU could make. He's not dumb. Not going to happen.

    I'm 99% certain that the "source" is simply Zach Lowe's Grantland piece that suggested the idea as a possibility. Nothing more.

    But on a side note, remember that breakout game Ross had vs. the Magic last year? I think it was highlighted by a midcourt steal followed by a breakaway windmill dunk. It's funny how opposing GMs take notice from a single game, eh?

    I bet the same thing happened in Memphis a few years ago when Jerryd Bayless went HAM and stole a game for the Raptors. Low and behold, Bayless now plays in Memphis.

    Wounldn't it be funny if CHI actually move Deng and go to tank mode and get guy like Wiggins or Parker and match them along side Rose
    It sounds a lot like how the Spurs started their dynasty.

    I'm pretty sure that Ross for Afflalo deal was something Zach Lowe threw out as a completely hypothetical in his article last week, and the media has taken it and run it through the "sources" spin cycle where it gains a little bit more credibility each day, despite not being factual in the least.

    I mean, just look at the actual wording of the tweet:

    Sources confirm that the Raptors would be interested in a trade including Terrence Ross for Arron Aflalo if they become buyers by the deadline."

    It's really just saying that there's a small possibility it happens, dressed up to make it seem like an actual piece of news.

    Hmmmmm

    Not buying this.

    But there is no question Orlando and Toronto have been talking. Previous Orlando leaks were about Lowry.


    Only way I see Masai giving up on Ross is if he is dumping a bad contract(s) in the process (Fields, Novak, Hayes) and/or obtaining future pick.

    The Magic have an identical contract to Bynum in Hedo: January 7th deadline to clear up to $18M in cap space for non luxury tax teams (150% or +$5M).


    Hypothetically speaking here but what about this, two transactions:

    1) http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=kfq32zw

    Toronto: Hedo (who is immediately waived) and 2017 Lakers first
    Orlando: Fields, Novak, and Ross.

    2) http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine/?tradeId=ntg6pb6

    Toronto: Afflalo
    Orlando: Hayes

    Lol. Kevin Bryant again?? take it with a grain of salt.

    Ross for Afflalo is so stupid it's not even funny. MU is too smart for that.

    What sources? Ujiri hasn't seemed to leak anything at all since taking the job. Are those sources Afflalo's agent, since Afflalo doesn't wantto be stuck on a losing team?

    I'd be extremely skpetical. Afflalo is a great role player having a career year. He is not a piece that really moves this team up another level in my opinion.
    I'm not sure but that's coming from Kevin Rashadi, and he's not really a reporting kinda guy.

    Apparently Orlando has been having interest in Ross.
    Don't know what to think about this..

    Really? So far it's just the one non-rumour from Lowe's piece. It was just a for argument's sake type thing I thought.

    I still maintain that if they do end up trading Ross, his best value might be as a way to get into the top 8 or so of this draft (obviously not top 3).
