Slow news week but that’s not surprising. Memorial Day Weekend is upon us and even front offices and pundits take time off. The Draft is four Thursdays away and as we noted many times, it’s traditionally Sean Marks busiest time. And with the new CBA promising a heavy trading season, expect a lot of juicy rumors, some of which will have the added benefit of being true!
At the moment, though, the big rumor is that the Nets have “heavy interest” in Damian Lillard per a league source we spoke with. But that same source thinks the starting price for the 32-year seven-time All-NBA star is Nic Claxton, probably four of the Nets first rounders and maybe even Cam Johnson in a sign-and-trade.
