Conley is such a great fit for the Jazz or Clips.
FVV is such a great fit for Raps or Magic.

PG and Kawhi are both going to ask out after forcing their way to L.A.?

The Suns could get a king's ransom for Booker if they decided to pull the plug on this group.

That’s a possibility. I think they’ll give this team atleast 1 more year to fix it’s issues. Where I think it’s mostly due to the lack of firepower with their backcourt. And Kawhi and PG’s availability is just a disastrous mess. If it can’t be fixed (they have limited assets), then they might look into rebuilding their team. If I were them, I’d explore moving Zubac and look into Moses Brown replacing him.

For the Suns, I think Ayton is the first one to go. I dont know what they can get for CP3. I’d probably call the Wolves and ask them McDaniels for CP3, then have Cam Payne as placeholder for a more talented point to play with Booker.

Lastly, I really think Evan Mobley will ask for a trade in the future. He won’t have the chance to pad his numbers in that Cavs squad. Jarett Allen is eating his reb/blks numbers while their offense is great already with Mitchell and Garland.

I wonder what the Thunder's plan is now. They are too good to tank themselves and despite holding all the FRPs they do none are really getting them a star. They don't have any big contracts on the horizon so they have a year or two to grow together and get Holmgren back next year but I also think they are talent deficient on a star level other than SGA, who's not really a best player on a contender level.

What if SGA gets annoyed at the perpetual kicking the can down the road? They trade him for a haul and reset? Don't think that's a good idea.

Will be interesting to watch unfold.

See Pels.

Wait for a star available for trade then package all assets, then building around that guy, SGA and likely Chet.

You can’t do that if you draft BUSTS.

The trick will be getting that 'star' to buy into staying in OKC. Utah and OKC are two of the most undesirable locations these days, and getting any star to actually stay would be job #1.

It depends on whether Mobley wants numbers more than being on a growing franchise with a chance to be title contenders in the near future. If it comes down to paying Allen or Mobley, I can't imagine the Cavs would choose Allen. They won't be able to pay both.

I think they’ll be a play-in team this year and have the talent to be a top 6 seed next year. So I think Presti will let the season unfold and then reevaluate in the summer. If they make any moves, I think they go get a PF to round out their starting group of SGA/Giddey/Williams/PF/Chet.

Rockets need an actual PG so bad.
