I would definitely like to get a C prospect on the roster. Nurk is gonna play, and I’m gonna hate it….whatever. I would like there to be a C prospect we can turn to instead of just playing Flip there.

Yeah…Grimes fills nicely into most teams, and while his run with the Sixers might not be real it does indicate he has some potential. I don’t think Giddey and Kuminga really work as scaled down players.

CHI is not gonna let Giddey walk easily, that’s for sure. You’re probably going to have to give something up and give him the bag.

I don't think Locke's assessment today of Ace is unfair, but it does demonstrate our flawed understanding of potential. Potential is way more than just physical attributes.

I'd give JK the edge over Giddey as an overall prospect....Giddey has a better chance to succeed in UTA though.

I’m pretty sure the franchise will implode if Hendricks and Lauri play the 3 and 4 together. The Jazz will cease to exist so can’t have that happen.

I don’t think Giddey is any more of a winning player than Kuminga. Great box score guy, terrible +\- guy. If Kuminga was on the Bulls, he’d also put up bonkers box score numbers. https://gyazo.com/fa06dca6db36f4238301c759039e196b

Kuminga and Giddey are basically in the same boat as players/prospects. Think I’d prefer Giddey just because of the type of player he is. We are over indexed on prospects with low IQ and want to score.

Giddey is going to want $30M AAV on a long deal. I think I like him more than most, but that is a heavy investment.

I was under the impression that he was closer to NAW, but if the Sixers are willing to go 4/$75 I'd just leave it alone. I wouldn't be interested in any kind of true long term deal for Grimes. Only a 3/$75 that's really a 2/$50.

Ace's tough shot making is a reflection of 1) unique ability to make tough shots 2) the inability to get less tough shots.

I guess I don't really have a clue on what's being offered to Grimes right now and what would make them pause on a match. Like is he closer to NAW in contract value? Santi Aldama? I'm not trying to make a break the bank, long term deal type of offer. I was just thinking about giving him a Paul...

It's pretty crazy how easily things are taken out of context/misquoted. We had the "big game hunting" quote which was 100% misquoted by the local media and it took a life on it's own. Now the second highest post on reddit is a direct misquote of when Austin Ainge said "won't happen this year"...

I would consider Grimes and I guess Isaiah Jackson is also an RFA. I'm sure we could get something at deadline salary dump wise, but I would take those guys over potential salary dumps. Grimes depends on the offer though.

Isaiah Jackson is also someone I would be taking a look at with our cap space. He tore his achilles last year, but he's young and was quite good before going down. I would be willing to work with him through his rehab and hope we get a decent center on the other side.

The Clarkson/Collins/Sexton moves over the last three years were brutal, no doubt about that. We can talk about the failures of recent memory forever, but I'm not going to complain about the solution. We had to take out the trash and we did. This summer is all about AA paying for the sins of his...

The only real problem I have with taking a flier on Kuminga is that he likely cut into the development of other players. If we don't to attempt to develop young players with some warts, we might as well give up on half our roster lol. We have a lot of young players who are not very good yet...

Grimes has had such a weird career. He played 2k+ minutes on a 47 win team in his second year and was considered untouchable in the Mitchell trade. He then stunk it up the next year, bounced around, then played decently for the Mavs before getting traded because Nico was afraid to pay him. I'd...

Grimes is the guy I’d target with cap space. You could probably get the deal to a point where a salary match would push the Sixers over the second apron. We should make it painful for the Sixers at least. These teams holding their RFA’s are in a strong position this year when nobody has cap...

Just to add onto this, the NBA 10+ vet minimum is $3.6M. So if we assume buyouts for KLove and Anderson where they give back what they’d make on the min (standard practice), that’s an additional $7.2M in potential cap space. So if we go for a Kuminga deal with outright cap space, it could...
