Dallas trading Luka to the Lakers for Anthony Davis! Utah involved.

Reaves + Knecht + 2031 unprotected first + 2028/2030 pick swaps for Kessler + Tucker

Who’s interested?

I'm not. I think Keyonte will end up as good as Reaves. We don't really need Knecht, and I'd rather look at other returns for Kessler. Kessler's value is still going up as he learns to be more effective offensively. Jazz should hold on him for now.

I wonder what teams would have put on the table of he hit the market. They seem to have wanted impact win now pieces. Would the Griz do JJJ and Bane? A ton of other teams would have interest but the package would be draft pick heavy rather than a win now piece even close to AD. I wonder if the wolves are kicking themselves even more so for doing the KAT deal so early. He is having an awesome season and I'm sure the mavs would have had some interest in him.

I could see the Lakers trying to trade for Myles Turner if they're willing to pay him. They're running low on assets at this point though.

Got to bring it out here and there. I've always been a bit anti-Luka, what can I say.

I'd be surprised if you have a stonger anti-Luka streak than I do. But even in my strongest anti-Luka stance, I'm unshakable in my belief that the Mavs didn't get enough value here.

James Harden's primadona attitude has destroyed franchises, like literally left a wake of destruction wherever he goes (Houston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia). Dallas must think Luka is similar.

Why is everybody so eager to trade away Kessler? Walter is a good young center on a cheap contract who likes being in SLC and gets along with everyone.

Who is the Jazz going to roll with at the center going forward? A pricey veteran? Someone they will draft next year and hope that in several seasons he MAYBE becomes as good as Kessler?

Reaves + Knecht + 2031 unprotected first + 2028/2030 pick swaps for Kessler + Tucker

Who’s interested?

I'm probably NO on that offer. The value of the Lakers' future picks are too hard to gauge right now.

And so they ride with Kyrie-teh-franchise-stabilzer Irving

Here's what really happened last night:

The decision-makers in Dallas got ahold of a lot of cocaine, did too many rails, and got full of themselves.

Well, the Lakers likely aren’t offering that anyways.

Lakers aren’t dumping literally everything for Kessler (Tucker also can’t be aggregated).

Reaves + Knecht + 2031 unprotected first + 2028/2030 pick swaps for Kessler + Tucker

Who’s interested?

I have zero interest in helping the Lakers. I dont see the reason we want Reaves given our current roster construction. I really don't see the need to make any major moves until we know what happens in the lottery outside of dealing Sexton/Collins.

yup. All those rails.

 

[Step-Back Lauri]

He really really wanted AD. And I get it. He was ready to bend down for it. It's a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off for him.

Why do you want to trade Kessler?

Why do you want to trade Kessler?

Cuz he’s not untouchable and cuz there’s a lot of stuff.

But I think he’s mostly just trade horny. I was earlier today too. Trading to help plug the huge hole(s) on the Lakers roster is a non-starter since their pick futures will be garbage.
