I feel like all signs point to the FO being low on him. I don’t necessarily agree, but if I had to speculate I’d say they are ready to trade him. Another thing we can do for MEM in this trade is take on the salaries of ZWilliams and/or Rose. They will be right up against the tax so removing...

More reporting has come out that the Grizz are looking to trade up. I think Clingan is option 1, Kessler would be the next best option (and potentially safer option) as a low salary C for them.

Yeah, Dragic was relentless. He was also a really great athlete and that allowed him to finish at the rim and get by guys. I think Topic can finish at the rim. His craftiness looks amazing (almost suspiciously amazing)....but I don't think he has the same burst off the dribble. I see Dragic as a...

I feel like Topic’s defining characteristics are the ability to get to get basket and finish+pass. His defining weakness is…well no one thinks he can defend. Don’t know why we’d compare him to guys who are opposites. Dragic is a guy who played in the same manner.

With the roster we have and picking at #10, I think by far and away the biggest concern is getting the guy who we think is the best player. No positional or fit concerns for me at all. I could see a world where you believe Sexton is good enough to start changing your decision making, but I don't...

JHS was an elite prospect just because he looked the part and had a cool name. Those are the things that matter. WTF are you talking about!!!

A PG, either Topic or Dillingham, is almost certain to fall if the pick order doesn't change much. Too many teams with their solution already in hand. In this mock, they even have CHO taking Dillingham....which could happen tbf.....but that still has a PG falling to 10. I think the other thing...

He was well below league average this season. His career percentage is below league average. He's had one season in 4 years where he's been above league average. He shoots a low volume and only takes high quality 3's. Don't play the "intellectual honesty" card when it's a fact that he is below...

Eh...Jaden is a below average shooter. Almost all of his value as a player comes from his ability to play defense. Holland will still have to get to that level as a shooter, but so do many players in this draft. Every player Castle/Buzelis/ect. gets compared to, they will have to improve his...

It’s popular to compare everyone to Jaden McDaniels these days….but I actually think Ron Holland fits that mold. Yeah….the shot making/number one option stuff isn’t real. But you combine those physical tools with a dog mentality and you’ll probably find yourself with a really good defender.

That first half of the season was really tragic for him. I do think NBA teams care about using more advanced analytics and the awful +/- will effect that. Having a good start of the season and establishing that what he did in the year of 2024 is his new norm without horrendous on/off numbers...

I think Clarkson is the only we "must" trade. He's not good for any purpose. Doesn't help you win, takes playing time away if you're not trying to win, and doesn't have much upside trade value wise. Collins has potential to be the big man version of Sexton. I think there is more of a market...

It's difficult to name one specific player, but directional wise....every rumor has been pointed in the same direction. It may not be Lavine.....but it could be Bridges, Ingram, DJ, Trae, Herro...whoever. We also "missed" on a lot of guys in the same direction. If you believe the...

The problem with Giddey is that his rookie deal is also expiring soon. Summer 25 and 26 they are lineup to have lots of cap space and that's probably where they want to make their move. Giddey will be on a pay increase by that time and I don't think they want to be the team that gives it to...

Dadiet is a better version of Furphy imo. I don't really care about Furphy's combine though.

Ousmane Dieng for John Collins If we prefer Giddey, we can send them 29 or 32....or maybe we take both.

I still think we make some kind of move, but it will be disappointing. It will be someone like Lavine or Miles Bridges, but I think the Jazz will land one of these "available for a reason" guys. In the other thread talking about FO intentions, I think I had it at about a 50/25/25 split in...

If OKC doesn't use their space to sign another big, I can see them having interest in John Collins. I'd bet they want to go after Hartenstein first. They could potentially prefer Valanciunas over Collins as well.

There has been zero smoke towards a Lauri trade, which is something we talk about a lot here. The messaging from everyone has been consistent with Scotto. Every single "rumbling" has us trading/acquiring some kind of almost guy. Our options this year are: 1. Trade for win now piece 2. Do...

Caleb Love is still going to be playing college basketball lol.
