Good plan B in case we miss out on Black.

We aren't getting Black. Just let go of that fantasy

If you can get Watson and Peyton you can really upgrade the defense and stop playing Collier/Hendricks

Get Ayo

I like him. I wish we could fast forward to next year when we know who we drafted and are looking to actually make upgrades because Ayo/Smith would be a trade I'd be interested in.

Sorry, who? Sincerely want to know who you’re referring to (Ayo and Watson?).

Yeah, that's what I meant. No idea what the market is for either of them, but I do think it makes sense to breakup Utah's available space into two players and I think it's within the realm of possibility to fit them both into that.

The issue would be that I don't think Utah can outright guarantee either of them a starting spot which I'm sure both would prefer

Not exactly the most detailed prediction.

We are talking about the 2027-28 season here and so far the only big salary we have commited for that year is Lauri`s $49,8 million. Add inn Kessler`s extension, KG`s cap hold and the rookie scale deals and we still can have a lot of room that year if we want to.

Not once in my life have I felt I could trust John ****ing Crotty.

One team that's obviously going to make moves is New Orleans. They're a mess, they need cap relief and they need draft capital.

Another might be Milwaukee making one more desperation move, though it's probably time for them to just move on.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

I don't see any teams being desperation buyers (meaning acquiring a risky, expensive "star" with baggage). The market is dead.

As a player or tweeter ?
