Kessler doesn't really do any of the modern stuff (switching, shooting 3's, etc) but he's elite at the things he does well. I don't see how they can trade him especially considering the lack of progress by Ainge's recent draftees.

Evan Sidery: "One name who will not be available on the trade market after league-wide exploratory interest: Walker Kessler. The Jazz view Kessler as a key young piece for their future. Kessler is putting together a career-best season averaging 10.9 points, 11.1 rebounds and 3.0 blocks."

Per Shams it sounds like Miami may make Jimmy Butler available in trade. He wouldn't mind playing in Houston but the Warriors would make a ton of sense for him too. Dallas is the other team on his list but they don't have much to deal. Shams also mentioned the Blazers and Nets are open to...

Orlando just lost Franz Wagner to a torn oblique which is the same injury Banchero suffered. I would think they need to make some kind of move as they don't have much offense on the roster after those two.

The good news is THT is on a one year vet min deal so the Jazz can sign him in the offseason! Bulls don't even have his bird rights. Honestly can't see either side having a ton of interest in a reunion after how last season ended. THT seems like a cool dude so hope he succeeds wherever he...

I don't have any answers but my gut feeling is they did want to build a competitive team with Lauri. Now less than 2 months into the season, it appears with the Hendricks injury and the rawness of their draft picks, especially Cody, they have been set back at least a year on the rebuild. If...

It's a slow day so what about this hypothetical deal? Apparently the Hawks might be another potential Kessler destination (according to their fans so it's probably just wishful thinking on their part). Kessler, like Sexton, was born and raised in the Atlanta area. The Hawks need to find a...

Agbaji is fine as a 3&D now that he's making 3's. He's playing better just in time for that 2nd contract. The Jazz lost interest when they realized he can't dribble. He's also about to turn 25 so probably too old for the rebuild. When Utah actually has a young star to build around they...

Nepotism at it's finest. I wonder how high Cody would've gotten drafted if Jalen wasn't playing so well in OKC. Wasn't expecting him to be a world beater as a rookie but the lack of motor is a real concern. Right now my money is on Flip being the best of the recent Ainge draftees and he was...

Why did we pass on Matas Buzelis again? His numbers haven't been eye popping yet but he's starting to show some signs of being a legit NBA player. Bulls are ready to dump Patrick Williams and give his spot to Buzelis.

Yes I believe so. His shot appears gone at this point. Should've dealt him 2 years ago if they wanted some sort of asset for him. They might have a better chance to offload him next summer when he technically becomes an expiring contract?

Obviously Duke is holding these players back. Jared McCain and Paulo Banchero are both better pros than what they showed in college. I still think Procter will be better in the NBA too, fwiw.

In the past few days we've learned the Bulls and Nets basically have the majority of their rosters on the trade block. I can't imagine Jazz could get much for any of their guys considering the bad teams are already saturating the market with talent. Most of the buyers either don't have draft...

He looks a bit like the draft guy who fills in for Locke's podcast.

He's only played six games but Edgecombe is averaging 14 points 5 assists and shooting 28% from 3. Also a 68% FT shooter which doesn't bode well. I still like him as a prospect but to label him as the only potential superstar in the next draft is nuts.

Agreed. He's shooting near 46% from 3 this season and not sure if that even included last night's game. If turds like Cam Payne and Kevin Porter Jr are getting rotation minutes on playoff teams there should be value in Sexton. It seems too he is getting that shot up quicker, and obviously...

With Melton out for the season I saw Clarkson mentioned as a potential replacement target for Golden State.

Agreed. I think the frustration is starting to boil over for him. Lauri and Collin are the most tenured guys in the entire league who haven't made the playoffs yet. That has to be really, really frustrating for such a super competitive player esp when he will be due for another contract. At...

Lakers would love to get off DLo. He's apparently up to his old antics being toxic in the locker room. They could extend the asset a year by acquiring Collin and fill their bench scorer role. I still think a Kessler+Sexton deal to LA probably makes most sense for both teams. Jazz could just...
