That I believe every leak is done for a reason by someone in the league for some reason.

Which is true.

Obviously a Pelicans leak. How would any other team know how many teams are interested?

Having a guy makes it easier to keep a guy.

It’s a matter of the cost to get him in the door and even have a shot at keeping him.

That is often the case, but other times, it is just wannabes fishing for clicks and relevancy. Which is the case here IMO. Who the hell is leaking anything to Steve Kyler? Like, ever?

He's never been credible, and isn't even saying anything if you read it closely enough.

Only team not really being mention that I'd want is the Suns. But I'd only be interested in Devin Booker, who they would likely deem touchable.

I am 1000% sure Devin Booker is untouchable.

He’s arguably not even a top 30 player. And don’t give me his counting stats, that means very little to me.

If Ben simmons, who is better than Booker, can be mentioned in a trade package so can Booker.

Philly or Suns have great assests... I think the list of untouchables ends with Curry and Giannis when Davis is involved

This tells me the Pelicans don’t like their current offers.

I think the Celtics aren’t offering Tatum, the Lakers are offering Ingram and Ball but not Hart and Kuzma. The Knicks are only including Smith jr or Knox but not both, and the Clippers, Nets, and a few dark horse teams are low balling.

Of course you think that. Because in wacko Lakers land everything is interpreted as good news for you.

Hate to say it, but Kyler is not a very credible source.

Surely he's credible enough for a vague statement in which he says he has no idea twice.

The Suns have repeatedly said they will build their team around him. More than stats but there’s a human and business side to it.

Again, I think this is just a hack writer fishing for relevancy. With that said, it is very much Griffin's job to work to create the most robust bidding market that he can. There will be all sorts of things said to try to accomplish that. And with that said, I don't think that will faze the major players much at all. Least of all Ainge, who Griffin learned all this from.
