Which one is your favorite and why?

It would be fascinating as all get out if Ainge didn't like our guys cause he didn't draft them, and traded both Gobert and Mitchell for all the draft picks he could possibly acquire. The new young core being: C - Udoka PF - Juancho SF - NAW SG - House PG - Butler They would lose a ton of...

ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reported that a “strong Knicks contingent,” including Allan Houston and executive vice president William Wesley, are in attendance for game one of the Jazz and Mavericks, providing intriguing possibilities on both sides...

True. In hindsight the Jazz should have bet on the 33 year old instead of the 31 year old. But I understand why they did what they did. According to every analytic - it was the right move. Mike Conley had the reputation of being a great locker room guy - CP3 had a reputation of being otherwise...

Until they are out, I'm 100% in. That being said, when there was rumors that we might land Marcus Smart - I was intrigued by how his attitude might have affected the team chemistry in a positive way. And if it is announced in the off-season that Shane Battier is the new head coach, I'll be...

NAW averages 12.8 ppg - THIS SEASON. That's not something that Joe Ingles + Elijah Hughes were doing. I think this is a much better trade than many seem to think it is.

Any trades need to move Royce from our 2nd best defensive player to our 3rd and 4th best defensive player. Not sure Rob Covington does that. That gives us a legit 4 size wise, but I"m not sure they aren't a wash defensively, and maybe Royce is better than Robert. If we get Smart and Richardson...

My blow up the team idea! New Coach - Ettore Messina Trade #1 - Mike Conley + Udoka Azuibuke for Marcus Smart + Jason Richardson and late 1st, or 2 2nds. Trade #2 - Jordan Clarkson, Elijah Hughes and Jared Butler for Eric Gordon. Trade #3 - Donovan Mitchell, Royce O'Neale, Joe Ingles and...

The Jazz likely have to throw in Jared Butler or the 2026 1st round pick to make this happen - maybe not. Boston is going to be mad over the cap next season saving 13 M is a big deal for them. Likewise here, the Jazz would need to include probably their 2028 pick and Elijah Hughes. Roster...

I've no real data to back this up, but I suspect tonight's rotations may have been Danny Ainge seeing what some guys can do (House specifically). If the Jazz have already decided to keep Eric Pascall, then you might as well let Joe Ingles try and have a good game. (It didn't work, but.. sure).

REPORT: The Pistons made a trade offer of Jerami Grant, Saddiq Bey, Kelly Olynyk and a 1st-round pick to the 76ers for Ben Simmons, via B/R. The 76ers were not excited about the offer. It is quite possible that the 76ers over-value Ben Simmons a great deal.

https://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/265421/Clippers-Could-Become-Sellers-At-Trade-Deadline The combination of injuries to their best two players could lead the Los Angeles Clippers to become sellers ahead of the deadline. Paul George sustained a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right...

6'3 with a 6'9.5 wingspan. I'd roll the dice on him, he was supposed to be a lot better. But, I'm a gambler. I'd also take a chance on Jonathan Isaac - who hasn't played a game for Orlando all season. Trade Joe Ingles & Jared Butler for Isaac.
