Utah owns 15 first-round picks over the next five years.
New Orleans could potentially go star hunting by offering Brandon Ingram alongside their slew of picks. |

TP is a FA. Max is restricted and IIRC can't be aggregated in a S&T.
This is why reading places not designed for the likes of clicks from children are important. |

| Quote: | The Pistons, I’m told, would naturally have interest in Timberwolves lead executive Tim Connelly in the event that Connelly was moved to use the opt-out clause in his Minnesota contract at season’s end.
I have since confirmed, as previously reported here, that Detroit does indeed plan to have Michigan native (and Pistons alumnus) Jon Horst on its candidate list if Horst is open to leaving the Bucks at season’s end.
J.J. Redick, beyond his candidacy for the Hornets’ coaching vacancy, has been described to me as a name to monitor in Detroit in the event he has any interest in a move to basketball operations. – via marcstein.substack.com

Maybe they thought Luka and Kyrie is working out this season, maybe they need some time too to figure it out. But Booker is no Kyrie (or Luka, as Luka ably demonstrated a couple years ago)
Also, Bradley Beal has a no trade clause??? I repeat ????? |

Given that contract, it's highly doubtful that anyone is going to be making calls on his availability. The only way PHX could even find a taker (if Beal waived NTC) was to package picks (which they don't have) and/or young talent (which they already traded away for Durant). So PHX will be stuck with Beal until his contract expires or he is bought out.
Their only real potential, tradeable assets to shake up the team in a big way are Durant or Booker. And there's no way they get anything close to what they gave up for Durant.
PHX had a Finals team just a few years back with some young talent on the rise (Bridges, Johnson), but they pissed it away along with their draft future in pursuit of the big name. Where does that sound familiar? At least for us, we were able to get a championship before our FO gutted the team. |

| Reject Trae due to his "small" stature, as LG suggests, but favor Mitchell, who stands 2 inches taller than Trae. Personally, I lean towards pursuing Trae. We're in dire need of a player capable of both distributing the ball and scoring in isolation. D'Angelo, Dinwiddie, and Vincent have all struggled to effectively lead a team. Even if LeBron renews his contract, he lacks the stamina to fulfill all those roles anymore. |

Mitchell's measurables and athleticism completely dwarf (pun intended) Young's. It's not about height but about reach, hops, quick twitch, etc.
I don't think either of them are tier 1 superstars, but if I had to choose I'm obviously going Mitchell. |

Not to mention the fit with Russell and Mitchell is far better because we wont be able to trade Russell. Meaning unfortunately AR has to go. Young and Russell in the backcourt???? Thats just asset malpractice |

I would say the Heat or Raptors would be great for him in terms of development. I would take him in LA. The one place I would never wish on him is the Cavs though just because of the weight of that |

Is having an undersized shooting guard the right path? It might be better to keep Austin Reaves if Russell is untradeable. Do you really think Dan Gilbert would willingly let go of Mitchell without robbing the Lakers? Realistically, Trae is a more attainable option than Mitchell. |

Per magic on x:
Laker Nation, we have a problem. All the good teams in the West are young and talented: the Nuggets, the Timberwolves, the Thunder, and the Mavs. And the BIGGEST elephant in the room is the Spurs, who with Victor Wembanyama, will definitely be a playoff team next season. For the Lakers to compete with all these teams, the roster MUST improve.

Mini Harden Shai
Spurs Victor.
Ja Moran
we need a lead guard on this team.
Teams that are done:
Warriors

Gotta also trade Zubac for a minimum FA you let walk.

Magic was an absentee exec and hardly ever in the office…so who’s really constructing these transactions while Erv posts up in Bron’s driveway?
