Potential Trade Targets

I noticed you put up a tweet about Scoot that absolutely blew up like a week ago.

Hope you didnt get flamed too much. I think it was a fair thing to say, to have Lauri rather than him.

I was shocked how quickly that one blew up. It’s at 1.6 million impressions right now. I posted it just to mess with the Jazz fans on Twitter who said we should have traded Lauri for him lol. It’s not even a question at this point who I’d rather have. A lot of the replies weren’t really regarding Lauri it was more so "Scoot is a rookie and people are already writing him off" type of things. He would be lucky to be as good as Lauri is now one day.
 
Toronto will have two picks in the 20's, with one likely being 28/29/30, and the 31/32/33 pick (Detroit's 2nd rounder).

If they are able to tank in the bottom 6 (they are tied with 6th with Memphis currently) they can keep their own pick. Out tanking Memphis will be tough, but they can always hope for lottery luck. The next teams after Memphis are the Hawks/Warriors/Rockets/Nets/Bulls, that kind of tier of teams. Toronto has a solid squad, so I dont see them truly separating themselves negatively unless they do dirty tanking.

But like Utah, it might be in their best interest to convey the pick this year so they can keep their pick next year. Their pick is 1-6 protected in 2025 and it might be hard to be that bad if Scottie takes another step forward.

Is Toronto interested in Canada's favorite son Kelly Olynyk? They could give us the Detroit 2nd rounder. Kelly would give them a boost to help make a play-in run so they can convey their pick and have a strong pick in the 2025 draft. Would they have his bird rights? They can re-sign him to keep him in Canada and help build their young team like Utah used him.

What about a straight swap of John Collins for Bruce Brown?

Dejounte for me is like Ochai, JC, and the 2025 Minny pick. Likely not quite enough but who knows. Not touching Giddey for a variety of reasons right now. Jone I really like but not as interested with Dunn playing well. Would think expirings and seconds would be the best offer they get.

The Hawks seem to be asking for 2 first round picks for Dejounte. Doesn’t sound too much to me as far as picks go. One reason why I’d like to have him and his multi-year contract for us, is that I don’t expect Keyonte to play PG at contender team level before he has more years under his belt. You never know when Danny is able to get a star player or star players for us to play with Lauri. We need to be ready for it. As for Dunn, he’s been great no doubt. Love his defense. He often forces his opponents to abandon everything else because they have to focus on ball security. ... Idk, maybe we just keep rolling Sexton and Dunn next season too.

I think JC and KO are the parts we can "replace" and get future value for. It is hard to replace JC's scoring at volume but you can replace his contribution to winning with different pieces. KO i think is tougher to replace since he is such a unique guy but I think he's someone we can get by without if Tay Henny can give us something. At some point you have to swap good for great (even if it is okay now with hopes of being great later). KO isn't a guy that will be contributing in 2-3 years so if a good offer comes up then go ahead.

I'd like to keep KO one more year.
