He's not 2nd on my board but he does have a skill set some teams might covet.

I can see why Memphis would do it if Clingan is off the board. I'm already on record saying I would trade Kessler straight up for Cling Kong but it's doubtful he's there at 9. Otherwise I'd have to think long and hard about even considering to deal Kessler. This draft is fairly deep with big...

I thought one of the reasons the Hornets traded PJ Washington to Dallas at the deadline was to open up more money to re-sign Bridges.

Donovan "Cling Kong" Clingan because every Donovan in the league needs a kick @ss nickname.

Say what you want about Edey but I think he has a nice 10-12 year NBA career for some team. That's a good outcome from this draft. Buzelis just looks like a flat out bust to me. What NBA skills does he actually possess? I saw him block a few shots in the G League but a modern wing needs to...

Wouldn't shock me. Shep and Clingan are the 2 best prospects on my board with Sarr, Castle, Risacher types a tier lower. BPA at the top of the lottery works better than drafting for fit, esp for a team like the Jazz looking for a franchise star. There's the size issue with Sheppard but every...

If Clingan is available at 6 would you guys trade Kessler+10 for him? I think I would consider it if I'm sitting in Ainge's chair. Clingan+Lauri+Hendricks is the makings of a pretty decent frontcourt. From what I can tell the 3 pt shooting is Clingan's only weakness but having Lauri and/or...

I'm fine if they use future picks and 1-2 of their youngsters to go after Cunningham. He's still only 22 and believe Hardy can squeeze alot of untapped potential. Other than a miraculous trade or doing some sort of tank for the '25 draft how many other ways do they have to acquire a potential...

I still like Kessler but would be open to trading him + 10 to move up for Clingan in this draft. Donovan just projects to have the higher ceiling as a 2 way NBA player. It's going to be super unpopular but I would trade Key + 10 to move up for Reed Sheppard. I think he has the higher ceiling...

He's currently out of the country doing Basketball Without Borders. Doesn't mean Danny won't trade him for the right package though.

Forgot to add the juiciest part. Don is the one who supposedly leaked the Jarrett Allen stuff to the media ( re. Allen refusing the injection to play against the Celtics in the playoffs). Apparently there is some kind of beef between Allen and Don behind the scenes. Sounds very reminiscent of...

On the Donovan front: The Cavs are likely going to hire Kenny Atkinson who shares an agent with Don. The interviews are ongoing but Donovan has final say. They've either interviewed or also plan to interview guys like Borrego (also shares an agent with Don at CAA or so I've been told) and...

Zaccharie Risacher – Atlanta Hawks Alex Sarr – Washington Wizards Reed Sheppard – Houston Rockets Stephon Castle – San Antonio Spurs Matas Buzelis – Detroit Pistons Rob Dillingham – Charlotte Hornets Donovan Clingan – Portland Trail Blazers Tidjane Salaun – San Antonio Spurs Dalton Knecht –...

I'm still a Don fan but really glad he doesn't have that type of power with the Jazz organization.

Here is my Collins idea. I do like him and all our guys incl the one in my avatar. Since Ainge is "big game hunting" this might be a "star" we can actually get: To Utah: Lamelo Ball, Grant Williams, Nick Richards, Lonzo Ball, #42 pick in this draft To Charlotte: Keyonte, Kessler, Clarkson...

Agreed. I would think the odds favor him staying in LA but wouldn't be surprised at all if he ends up playing out the last 2 years of his career in Cleveland which would cap off a 23 year career. Noone would bat an eyebrow either if he returns home for his retirement tour. The Lakers...

Cavs will apparently interview Alex Jensen for their HC job. He was an assistant here under Quin and a current assistant in Dallas.

I like this idea. Who knows what the Bulls are thinking. Jazz could also potentially sign Patrick Williams to an offer sheet? Not sure how much money they have to play with if they extend Lauri. PW could be a Danny Ainge reclamation special but might be way too expensive in FA considering...

Yeah that roster is very flawed. Reading between lines, Don is likely signing his $209 mil extension in CLE. My guess is they don't fire JBB unless either Don or Dan Gilbert mandated it. Don can always demand a trade in 1-2 years if they can't improve the roster around him. Jazz obviously...

The Cavs' GM Koby Altman was interviewing head coaching candidates in LA yesterday and they haven't fired their current HC Bickerstaff yet.
