Utah has like 6-7 bigs now and Kessler was already getting squeezed last season... his contract is under $5m so easily tradable... he's a type of young big we'd be looking for... there were twitter rumors that Ainge was open to trading him... we have assets (Deuce or filler contracts plus picks) we could use... so yeah, he makes quite a bit of sense if Ainge doesn't ask for the moon. Sometimes, his trades are based in reality. Sometimes.

just connecting the tea leaves...not inside info but why in the world did the Jazz just sign Drew Eubanks for 10 MM?

Sure that means they can still trade Lauri but they have Collins, Kessler, and they just drafted Filipowski. Thats a lot of bigs.

Deuce alone would not be enough for Kessler.

Would have to include Pacome and another 1st at minimum.

We’d probably go in a cheaper direction. Just used a lot of assets on Mikal.

Who knows but why?

Duece has a great contract...even better than Kessler. He was a +10 ppg scorer in the playoffs as a 23 year old. He plays very good defense.

Kessler is stuck in a jazz rotation last year and they added 2 more guys to it.

my scenario:

Add precious into Mikal trade for a S&T to open up the 2nd apron

Trade Duece + something for Kessler

Sign Lowry with the tax payer MLE (around 5 MM). Nova connection.

Brunson/Lowry
Mikal/DD
OG/Hart
Randle/Hart
Mitch/Kessler

win

I can dig it... and you got Kolek waiting in the wings. Might have to throw in the rights to Rokas in the Kessler trade.

sure give them rokas...and exactly...give Kolek one season to learn behind brunson and lowry...and then he can take over for Lowry in the near future or if anyone gets banged up.

I will believe it when I see it. Ainge is not a fair trader.

he's also not a center type that thibs likes. its pretty obvious the style thibs likes to play and he's not really forgiving when it comes to that.

Ask yourself, would we trade Josh for that type of package? No, so why would the Wolves do that for their 6th man that can also start.
