I mentioned this somewhere... it appears they will load up with some salary here... no idea how an already kinda crowded backcourt can support this... unless Quickley is moved.

Let’s get Quickley, seriously.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Pelicans declining Herb's option this year to make him unrestricted is kinda weird. He can get the same type of offer as Reaves. I just... don't know what the plan is there.

Unless they ditch some serious salary that will throw them in the tax a year early.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Sorry to break it to you man but we will have to eventually. We have enough picks to get 2 stars plus some.

I agree, but now is not that time. Jazz don’t have any draft picks pending until 2025. No rush to get rid of them just to rearrange deck chairs on the edges of a play-in team. Every asset they use now is one less they can use on a star. I’d rather keep the powder dry for now and then make those moves after the core has been established. Right now, this team is completely in flux.

But not the space. Lauri's extension is going to hurt.

Yup, ain't no way they can pay Quickley $20M to come off the bench and if they do it will just deteriorate his value.

Yea he's plugged in.

 

[KqWIN]

If we get Quickley, he will be our version of TOR acquiring Kyle Lowry.

He deleted his account or it got deleted lol.

A one-year rental on a mercurial player like James Harden isn't going to yield the Sixers a great return. I wouldn't be surprised if Philly is slow to make a trade.

Powell/Morris + a 2028 or 2029 first.

Agreed. Be patient.

His sources probably got mad he was leaking things for clout that could potentially be traced back to said source

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

No one besides me likes the idea of bringing NAW back? I thought Ainge liked him. He was going to be the heir apparent to Conley at one point. What's wrong with NAW?

Not much game

Makes him restricted

 

[Coach Ellis]

Jazz have assets and contracts to go make a big move. Just combining Sexton ($17.3), Clarkson ($14.2) and Olynyk ($12.1) the Jazz have $43.7 million in salary to attach some picks to and go get a star player right now.

Danny Ainge is big game hunting as we speak. I don’t see any way that he’s sticking with the status quo with all the expiring deals he has AND the chaos that the new CBA has introduced into the free agent market this year.
