This is a great breakdown of the top 10. I don't agree with everything here, but Duncan is one of the smartest people in the NBA Community, imo. Well worth the listen.
I don't know if you listened all the way to the end, but in the final few minutes they had a similar debate regarding the price of Chris Paul to the Suns. Hollinger instantly went to Rubio/Oubre/10 for Paul and 25. Nate was like wait a minute here. If I'm Phoenix, my offer is Rubio/Oubre and someone like Ty Jerome. If OKC has a better offer, put your cards on the table. Otherwise, we aren't bidding against ourselves.
Point is the range of things the board discussed doesn't seem too crazy. Not intending to send you to the hotline, but you do know who Oubre's agent is? Yep, it is Tobias Harris's dad. Don't worry, you are probably safe with that Paul Millsap jersey available online in Australia.
I still think this is something Dallas is interested in. There seemed little hesitation on the part of John or Nate that Paul to Phoenix was real. The question is price. To predict that better, you have to know who has the leverage. Is Nate right and Phoenix is telling OKC how far they will go (and no farther). Or, is OKC saying they are happy to send Phoenix a star as soon as Phoenix comes up with something OKC likes.
