The rockets sure would like that, I'd be shocked if they actually got him without giving up either Sengun or Thompson. Not gonna get Giannis without it being painful.

Just looking at the Bucks outgoing assets a little bit, they have traded or swapped each of their firsts through 2030 with no protections as far as I can tell, so they're in a tricky spot. I guess maybe take the best package you can get from Houston including all the phoenix picks, then just...

I don't think we have the juice - I feel like we'd have to clean out too many of our assets. Houston looks most likely to me by kind of a lot?

I think we have a lot of competent playmakers if they're playing their appropriate slot, but everyone is shifted up at least one in the usage pecking order from where they'd ideally be.

Ainge definitely indexes high on blue chip recruits whether or not they really did anything in college.

Have a hard time believing we'd have a meltdown over that outcome.

We blew up a team going nowhere, with no draft capital, and two stars who hated each other. Running it back again would have been a ludicrous choice.

You can't guarantee a specific outcome by maximizing the odds, but this line of reasoning makes absolutely no sense. We're not choosing to tank rather than winning, we're tanking because the team isn't talented enough to have another option. There's no way we'll look back at this season and...

At least the jazz actually won by playing well. Those wins against the magic were brutal.

There isn't another avenue to make the team good enough, and thinking otherwise is really hard to justify. If we get unlucky, so be it.

If we miss on top talent this year Lauri has to be gone this summer because we're now in tank every year until we draft someone you believe can be a star territory.

1. Flagg 2. Harper 3. Bailey 4. Edgecombe 5. KJ 6. Knueppel 7. Maluach 8. Demin 9. Fears 10. Queen 11. Tre Johnson 12. Beringer 13. McNeeley 14. Traore

More and more feels like the fall off after three is pretty big. I'd be extremely happy with top 3, much less certain on 4-6 and pretty disastrous if we fall to 7+.

Collier is impressive, can see some pretty sustained stretches of why he was thought of as a top pick going into last year.

I don't really get it for Toronto - I guess if he's injured he helps the tank this year, but he's a UFA right?
