I actually don’t even think he was that bad at the beginning. When the Wolves were struggling out the gate, it was because so many players had dropped off from the previous year. Rudy, Conley, and Naz were all down and they also weren’t getting much from DDV. That’s just what happens when you...

Getting back to the thread topic, how many picks would you want for taking on Murray's contract? Assume it's Sexton+Collins heading to NOP?

Tbf, I do think they have had a rough 3 years. They won the championship, had the number 2 pick (after having the #7 pick the year before), and still found a way to mess that up. They really torched some prime years of Steph/Green and a wealth of young players/assets at the same time. I think...

I like Ant and I feel like I'm high on him until I see what other people are saying about him. He's Michael Jordan and savior of the NBA when he's playing well and when he doesn't the convo is Rudy Gobert sucks.

Yeah I wouldn’t say the Warriors are dumb or that getting Lauri is a dumb move. But they put themselves on the clock and committed to winning now with the Jimmy move. And why shouldn’t they? Steph is their franchise and they should have already been doing this instead of messing around with the...

Yeah....the only roadblock may be that Kuminga also has to agree, but I’m not sure he’s getting better than $38M guaranteed for just one season. He turns into a giant, expiring contract after that. I totally get the reservations about giving him long term money and relying on him to be a piece...

Kuminga S&T is required in a Lauri deal, but if they add Moody+Hield they will have some room to work and remain under the second apron.

Only the first year would need to be guaranteed.

Ah, this totally changes things. The Jazz don’t actually have a long list of things to improve on.

Yeah…I’m confused. I think you have it right. As someone who has freezing cold takes on Kuminga, I’ll say that I’m still in the Kuminga business if 1) he isn’t consider positive value in the trade and 2) if his contract is short term/team controlled. Giving lots of long term money Kuminga, yeah...

High TOV% doesn’t necessarily mean bad playmaking or bad offense. With Conley, the Jazz were a top 4 offense and 25th in TOV rate. It’s just the nature of a Will Hardy offense to be higher turnover, and that’s fine. I think it’s true that we have an offense that will result in more turnovers...

McDaniels sucks in the regular season, but he’s great in the playoffs.

Got so much heat for saying this throughout the year. Anyone who thinks he’s the same player he was before has forgotten how good he was. He’s almost 33 now. It happens.

Randle has been incredible this series. I don’t know why everyone is on a mission to say he sucks.

Brice and Juzang were much better shooting prospects than Cody. I agree that rookie 3FG% doesn't mean much, especially if they play 200 minutes like Juzang, but it's very different when you have good shooting prospects and bad shooting prospects. Cody only shot 2.4 threes per40 in college and...

Actually it's just not possible for a Warriors deal unless they trade Jimmy or we wait until Dec 15. No S&T above 1st apron.

If anyone was wondering, if we do a deal with GSW, Kuminga's contract could start anywhere from about $16-$38 million.

Incoming salary would have to be Kuminga, Moody, and Hield here to duck the second apron. Any Kuminga trade would hardcap them to the second apron. I think they can actually make it work without Moody, but things get really tight for GSW if they keep him. I like going for the Warriors picks in...

I hadn't thought about Key to ORL, but that would be an ideal landing spot for him. Key was once the chosen one, but I do think he has lost his luster a bit internally. Things can change quickly. We saw them dump Ochai after he was once "untradeable" and we've also seen the vibes on Kessler...

The PHX trade idea/concept I've seen thrown around a lot is a 3 teamer with HOU. HOU has tons of young talent, but PHX is likely to prefer more veteran talent. Maybe that means Lauri, maybe that means Collins+Sexton. I haven't thought too much about it, but I do want to engage in trade with PHX...
