The New York Knicks have declined a recent trade offer that would have sent the No. 3 overall draft pick to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for the eighth and 10th picks, a source told ESPN's Jonathan Givony.

Chris Paul has reportedly demanded a trade.

Can't wait for Houston to use all those draft picks they were gonna use to get Butler to dump CP3's contract instead.

I find it highly unlikely Goodwill made up the rumor.

So, if it's not true (and Morey is fiercely denying it), who told Goodwill? Usually these kind of leaks are either someone in the front office trying to make the player look bad, or the player's agent, trying to put more pressure on the team to get a deal done.

Let's not forget that the Rockets recently fired all of the assistant coaches for D'Antoni.  It's probably coming from some disgruntled ex assistant coach that didn't expect to be fired.  Or Kevin McHale.

Ben Simmons would probably be really good surrounded by four shooters, like a lesser Giannis.

But since Embiid is the better player, Philly really can't try to build that kind of roster.

But they can't really dump Simmons, because A.) He's too good and B.) Embiid's health is too questionable to risk dropping the other guy the process produced.

And, I mean, he could be lethal as a cutter occasionally, but he seems to drift off to sleep on offense when the ball isn't running through him.

Harrison Barnes and Al Horford both declined their player options for next year.  Both are still expected to re-sign with their current teams.

Apparently things went extremely pear-shaped in the past 5 hours because Horford is no longer expected to re-sign with Boston.
