That 2029 Wolves/Cavs pick will end up being the best out of the Rudy/Mitchell deal.

Wonder what the Mavs have in mind at this point.

I hope they know that centers are almost all they have besides Flagg.

Don't we have some swaps in there too?

I mean they are starting at pretty much zero. The last thing you do there is say "Hey first things first, let's Max freaking Walker Kessler."

They are in the "Let's take other teams Junk for assets" phase. You need to preserve cap for that.

Throw all convention out the window for the Bulls. Their moves are almost always incoherent.

Yes/sorta.

-2026: the Jazz have the rights to the best of the Jazz, Cavs, and Wolves 1st round picks if Utah’s pick does not convey to OKC
-2027: Jazz retain the 2nd best pick of the Jazz, Cavs, and Wolves picks.
-2028: Cavs swap rights
-2029: Jazz have the rights to the *two* best picks of the Jazz, Cavs, and Wolves.

I mean i would hope they didnt just give away Coby White for nothing to max Kessler. The definitely have a plan. Probably not a great plan, but a plan.

I’ve yet to see evidence they have those. At least not in the last 4.5 years.

Porzingis is done... He's got a weird disease bad enough that might force him to retire. Duren is staying in Detroit given how well they are doing. And Robinson is a backup center without much ceiling... so yeah teams will go for Walker

Mitchell Robinson is incredible. He's for sure a plus starter if he can stay healthy. But he does have health issues

This draft class is getting crazy.

forgot Lively. Doubt Gafford is long for the team.

Now we know that Washington, like the Jazz, won't be tanking next season. But what about the Nets? Could they sneak up on Giannis and grab him? Would be a wild move.

The Nets don’t own the rights to their 1st next year. So, like us (and Washington, it appears), they’ll probably put their foot on the gas next year. They might be a threat for Kessler but I would think they’d target other needs with their capspace.

I think they are the most likely to get Giannis. At least/especially if we’re not throwing the kitchen sink at that.
