Kinda crazy how these recent Finals teams Boston and Indy could potentially be tank teams next season due to the new CBA and injuries.

Appears to me Klutch/Sexton wanted Charlotte. He's from that part of the country too (actually Georgia). Klutch/Clarkson wanted the Knicks. The Jazz made it happen for them both. That is the most reasonable explanation I can come up with. There's never any explaining what the Kings do though.

Figured Jerome would prefer to stick with a playoff team after playing with Cavs and Golden State.

That JJJ deal is basically the same one Jazz gave to Lauri.

Got it :p I missed the sarcasm....

I don't think they have nearly enough minutes for Collins, Lauri, Ace, Hendricks, Cody especially if they promised Ace he would the "the man." Collins will also be playing for a new contract so will need minutes and shots.

Reminds me a bit of the Boston situation where Brad Stevens had to come in and clean up Danny's GM'ing mistakes. Now it's Austin doing the dirty work. Not a slight on Danny we all get old at some point. Heat fans are hoping that Pat Riley steps down in the near future too.

I'm guessing Collins (or even Lauri) get moved at some point. They need minutes for their top 10 picks Ace and Hendricks.

Sounds like he's going to the Knicks per Sarah. They were rumored to like JC for the past year and a half but Ainge Sr never pulled the trigger likely because of optics/not winning the trade is my guess.

Same. I can see him as a 3rd string shooter on another team. He doesn't offer anything else but that's a nice skill to have as an end of bench guy. Somehow Svi has lasted this long in the league as the same type of player.

Thanks for everything JC! Good luck on your next team!

I think so. Klutch reps several players on Charlotte including Bridges. Not sure about Lamelo but they definitely rep Lonzo. Rich was busy this weekend with the LeBron option, the Lonzo deal, and Sexton/Nurk trades.

Fairly sure Klutch is the mastermind here especially when you consider both Nurk and Sexton are Klutch clients. They likely believe Charlotte is a better spot for Sexton heading into a contract year. Just my guess though. Hopefully now they find a spot for Clarkson even if it just means a...

I choose to believe this is part two of the secret trade up with Charlotte allowing the Jazz to pick Ace. I know AA wants his own guys to get minutes but the Nurkic I saw in Phoenix last season was unplayable. It's unfortunate but Ainge just got himself in a bad situation trying to do a total...

I think they end up keeping Clarkson and just buy him out at the deadline.

At least they didn't have to trade two SRP's and take on a long term contract like the Blazers did to move Simons?

Welp they don't have to play Nurkic much. He can take the few Eubanks minutes. They obviously don't want to give minutes to the Collins and Sexton vet types. The "tank" continues but with the young kids getting all the minutes. Kinda sucks to give up a pick though.

Wolves extending Randle on a 3/$100 mil deal. Those Minn and Cle draft picks not turning into the bounty the Jazz had hoped.

Pretty sure the Heat would love to dump Rozier. Wolves are desperate for scoring when Ant goes to the bench. Conley is near washed but could still be a nice mentor for the Jazz young guards. It sounds like Dennis Schroeder won't be resigned in Detroit so Sexton would be a younger replacement.

FWIW the Pistons will have $19 mil in capspace which coincidentally is also Sexton's salary for next season.
