I agree with that part. Same reason we shouldn't have considered and shouldn't consider Jerami Grant. But I do get the feeling Brown might be okay in SLC, but yeah do some due diligence before any risk. That's why I said you need to think you have a decent chance of retaining him.
The Grant stuff is different because it was more like "oh I'm going here because this is cool and I identify with this thing" not "I hate playing in cities where a large portion of fans act like x". Maybe Grant got to do his thing and enjoyed it, but now is open to more things?
I would agree with you on the Ochai plus 5 picks if he had a few years left on his contract, but he only has one year remaining. That reduces trade value a bit.
Not if you are bidding against teams he will agree to sign an extension with.
Maybe. Maybe 3 first round picks (including the Lakers one), Ochai, and a MASSIVE trade exception would interest them. I don't think many teams have as much cap space as we will this summer and would be in the market for Brown. They might laugh at us, but it is worth a call.
we have plenty of assets besides losing for luck.
I think Lauri / Walker's emergence, Will's success, and the fact that we're competitive makes us a more appealing destination for Brown.
You kicked out Sexton lol
Unfortunately he was included in the trade package.
I’m talking about fielding a team after the trade
Why? He’s going to send him to whatever hell hole/paradise he feels is best for his team. Lol
