#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

I have recently acquired a list of vet mins the 76ers will be throwing around in UFA round 1:
Evan Turner
Iman Shumpert
Greg Oden
Charles Kuntz
Chris Paul
Spencer Hawes
Roy Hibbert
Vernon Norman

Apparently, they expect to land 2 or 3 vet mins to bolster their depth.

The Sixers currently have the 3rd highest payroll in the league. Asked how high he's willing to go, GM Balls O'Hard said, "If you thought the Grizzlies had a high tax bill, you ain't seen nothing yet."

Continuing in the new tradition of recently acquired lists, I have recently acquired a list of max deals being extended by the Clippers for UFA Round 1:

Roman Hernandez
Man Juarez
Lenny Clark
Jesus Hammond
David Cesneros
Anibal Bearden
George Chinn

and...

Luke Babbit.

They hope the market is too competitive and that they can land one or two prospects.

With two 29 year old point guards on the roster and a bunch of young guys surrounding them, the Sixers are also looking to pick up a young prospect in free agency to develop at point guard. Word is they are eyeing Alan Snelling, Wendell McManus, and Douglas Wu.

The Philadelphia 76ers will look to acquire another glue-guy veteran locker room leader this year after Dwight Howard served the role last year.
Dwight has informed the Sixers he intends to move on. The Sixers are looking at Chris Kaman and Amare Stoudamire as potential replacements.

We've just learned the source of the many leaks springing from the Sixers front office. Apparently GM Balls O'Hard uses an iPad to post on forums as an anonymous source.

When asked about his struggling franchise , Portland GM said he doesn’t regret only trading with one team despite getting it taken to him time and time again in the deals.

In a recent interview with one of the New Orleans Pelicans' biggest fans who sits courtside every home game, he said this in reply to a question about if he thinks Nick Malone has done a good job for the Pelicans:

"Well, that's a difficult question. On one hand, I do think he's trying hard, but it's just not good enough. There's no transparency. Miss the playoffs for 5 straight years, win a ship, then it's back to mediocrity and now he's rebuilding again. I'm glad we won a championship but honestly I think it was a fluke. The track record proves it. I'm ready for a new GM. We need a GM who's willing to go for it every season and when we aren't going for it all, we know exactly where we stand as a team. Someone like that GM in Charlotte. Now that's a damn good GM."

Our guys are so connected they got hidden camera footage from inside the Charlotte war room.

Sources are informing me that the Utah Jazz are currently targeting a number of players who they feel can be a positive locker room presence, including former stars LeBron James and Chris Paul. When asked about the ongoing situation, GM Digiskunk referred us to their head scout, who was last seen panhandling for cigarettes outside of a dark, unforgiving alleyway last Tuesday night. If you've seen this man, please give us a ring, apparently he only goes by the name "Titus":

Just received word that GM nickmalone organized a parade to celebrate the blockbuster Kyrie Irvinf signing. “When that other team announced a potential parade, I decided to put on a true New Orelans-style parade since the Bobcats’ was unfortunately Malone’d.”

Sources close to Boston front office told us that they are close to acquiring a veteran leader for their young squad.

Jordan Hill has demanded a trade out of Philadelphia and has given a list of 3 teams he would play for. Will those teams pay the price Philadelphia is looking to get?

Paul George has been getting more and more angry during his stint in San Antonio. Over the weekend, George was caught on Facebook Live getting into a heated fight over churros at the Riverwalk. Could this expedite his departure from his short-term home in Texas? Sources close to the team say that tension is building and a trade could truly benefit both sides. One team that is constantly tied to rumors of Paul George is... the Brooklyn Nets.

Kevin Durant is feeling pretty confident that he'll be crowned the Most Valuable Player this season, sources are saying. "That c*cksucker Anthony Davis has nothing on me. What is he, playing drunk out there? Get some", K.D. was quoted as saying.

Sources close to Gary Harris suggest that his injury in the 3rd quarter of game 6 against the 76ers was an "inside job." Gary Harris was recently seen dancing with Nikola Jokic's girlfriend in downtown NYC. Was that really an errant pass that lead to Harris' concussion, or was Nikola Jokic trying to send a message?

Neighbors of Anthony Davis say that the 3-time MVP has already cleared out his house and put a For Sale sign out on the curb of his home in Auburn Hills.

Sources close to Anthony Davis suggest that the star power forward still hasn't made up his mind on whether or not he'll stay in Detroit — and if he has, he's not letting anybody in on his little secret. "You won't know until it happens," Anthony Davis was reported as saying. "I'm like David Blaine — you'll never figure me out."

Sources close to the 76ers say Ben Simmons has indeed received the full supermax available to give from the team. "There's a reason we picked him #1," claimed GM ballsohard, "and he was a key piece to making the Finals. Simmons has barely scratched the surface of his potential and we want to build the team around him now. He is the franchise."

We caught up with combo guard Alvin Pack and the rising prospect feels great about the interest he's receiving. Teams seem to think Medina is a lock to stay with the Brooklyn Nets, but Pack's future has some uncertainty to it. Per one general manager in the Eastern conference "The Bucks traded for Ronald Small from the Kings last season and have Elfrid Payton still on the roster. They have their PG now and for the future. Pack isn't needed."
