Unfortunately I don't think they have a choice. They tried to be somewhat competitive the past 2 seasons and ended up with the 9th and 10th pick and might have nothing to show for it. For whatever reason the 8-10 range of the draft is just a real dead area where most prospects picked in...

Agreed. The reporting from reliable sources earlier in the week was Brooklyn only interested in taking back expirings. They apparently have their eyes on a '25 free agent (Kuminga?)..

Agreed Sexton is a perfect fit as a scoring guard off the ORL bench. They have long defenders and desperately need to upgrade from Cole Anthony. They also have a bunch of stockpiled picks. The Anthony contract isn't horrible (2/$26 mil) but he really does stink and shouldn't get minutes here...

I'd easily trade JC for expirings but would need some kind of asset/young prospect for Sexton. He's clearly better than the KPJ or Cole Anthony types who are getting legit rotation minutes on playoff teams. If the Magic had anything better than Cole Anthony coming off their bench they would be...

Between the two I take Sexton. He has more tools and the better attitude. Maybe I'm just turned off by Key's awful shooting nights and bad body language, which the latter can be chalked up to immaturity. With that said I don't think either of our future starting backcourt is on the roster...

Kessler doesn't really do any of the modern stuff (switching, shooting 3's, etc) but he's elite at the things he does well. I don't see how they can trade him especially considering the lack of progress by Ainge's recent draftees.

Evan Sidery: "One name who will not be available on the trade market after league-wide exploratory interest: Walker Kessler. The Jazz view Kessler as a key young piece for their future. Kessler is putting together a career-best season averaging 10.9 points, 11.1 rebounds and 3.0 blocks."

Per Shams it sounds like Miami may make Jimmy Butler available in trade. He wouldn't mind playing in Houston but the Warriors would make a ton of sense for him too. Dallas is the other team on his list but they don't have much to deal. Shams also mentioned the Blazers and Nets are open to...

Orlando just lost Franz Wagner to a torn oblique which is the same injury Banchero suffered. I would think they need to make some kind of move as they don't have much offense on the roster after those two.

The good news is THT is on a one year vet min deal so the Jazz can sign him in the offseason! Bulls don't even have his bird rights. Honestly can't see either side having a ton of interest in a reunion after how last season ended. THT seems like a cool dude so hope he succeeds wherever he...

I don't have any answers but my gut feeling is they did want to build a competitive team with Lauri. Now less than 2 months into the season, it appears with the Hendricks injury and the rawness of their draft picks, especially Cody, they have been set back at least a year on the rebuild. If...

It's a slow day so what about this hypothetical deal? Apparently the Hawks might be another potential Kessler destination (according to their fans so it's probably just wishful thinking on their part). Kessler, like Sexton, was born and raised in the Atlanta area. The Hawks need to find a...

Agbaji is fine as a 3&D now that he's making 3's. He's playing better just in time for that 2nd contract. The Jazz lost interest when they realized he can't dribble. He's also about to turn 25 so probably too old for the rebuild. When Utah actually has a young star to build around they...

Nepotism at it's finest. I wonder how high Cody would've gotten drafted if Jalen wasn't playing so well in OKC. Wasn't expecting him to be a world beater as a rookie but the lack of motor is a real concern. Right now my money is on Flip being the best of the recent Ainge draftees and he was...

Why did we pass on Matas Buzelis again? His numbers haven't been eye popping yet but he's starting to show some signs of being a legit NBA player. Bulls are ready to dump Patrick Williams and give his spot to Buzelis.

Yes I believe so. His shot appears gone at this point. Should've dealt him 2 years ago if they wanted some sort of asset for him. They might have a better chance to offload him next summer when he technically becomes an expiring contract?

Obviously Duke is holding these players back. Jared McCain and Paulo Banchero are both better pros than what they showed in college. I still think Procter will be better in the NBA too, fwiw.

In the past few days we've learned the Bulls and Nets basically have the majority of their rosters on the trade block. I can't imagine Jazz could get much for any of their guys considering the bad teams are already saturating the market with talent. Most of the buyers either don't have draft...
