I followed and turned on notifications but then the account got deleted - was there anything after his last post about something big going down shortly?
Will The Jazz Make Any Significant Trades?

Said:
KAT likely moved
Harden wants out in Philly, PHX/LAC teams he mentioned
Dame is 50/50 on staying or leaving
Something is going to happen with Kyrie in the next day or so
I think the Jazz would inquire about Joel Embiid. A team with Embiid and Lauri would be a real load.

With Kessler looking like a future star, I would like to see the Jazz getting in on any deal for any star who doesn’t play center.
Grab somebody to team up with Lauri & Kessler long term.

THT, Kessler, Agbaji + picks for Embiid?
Pretty sure the Jazz would move Kessler in a deal for Embiid.

Im sure they would, but I think it would be a mistake. DA should prioritize any other position besides center. Leave Kessler as the starter and find a star wing or guard to go with Lauri & company.
While I would love Embiid we’d still be a primary ball handler / scorer away from competing… and if we had one of those we might be competing with Kessler anyways.
So before the season starts, as in the offseason
You guys know Embiid just won MVP, right?

I love Kessler but you 100% move him for Embiid. He and Jokic are just head and shoulders better than any bigs we've seen the past decade. The Spurs have Wemby now too.
You can figure out the rest of the roster with Embiid/Lauri.
With that said I'd be shocked if Philly moves the reigning MVP.

Typically, I would agree with you. . . I feel like DA has things set up to go after a star this trade deadline or next offseason - however, the new CBA has thrown a wrench into this offseason and there’s a lot of unpredictability about what directions teams are going to go in. If DA gets an opportunity to make a big move for a reduced price (like trading for John Collins) I’m sure he’s going to pursue it.
Right. I worded it poorly in my post.
Oh, I completely agree. Ainge and Zanik are going to trade for a star at some point, I just don't think it happens this offseason... but if the opportunity presents itself, I'm sure they won't be afraid to pull the trigger.

How likely is it Kessler can become as good as Embiid?
Right, people are acting crazy. I’ll trade Kessler plus picks for Embiid in a second.

Jazz would, without a doubt, become a championship contender.

Probably pretty unlikely. But how likely is it that we compete with Lauri/Embiid after we gut our asset base to acquire the latter?
Embiid has been paired with a variety of stars in Philly and they haven't been able to get it done in the playoffs.
