Okogie and Dunn cannot play together like ever. Thinking this means Okogie is gone

This is correct. Would be playing 3 on 5 on offense

Oh boy - going to be interesting what happens today

I am sure Okogie has been in the gym every day working on his shot. Wouldn’t be surprised if it’s respectable by next season

I am wondering if there is any chance that we can buy the Jazz's pick at 32 and pick up Tyler Kolek or Kyle Filipowski.

If we got a pick and both were on the board, which would you take?

I would take Kolek as I think they need a PG. But not my money so if the Jazz are amenable

I say we trade

Nurkic, 56 for Dort

[quote="Crives"]Ghost anyone interesting around 56?[/quote]

The very best prospects that you want to target that actually will be available to us at 56 or after are these names in this prioritization for their impact/ upside outcome:

1- Ulriche Comche.
AL Horford/ Serge Ibaka hybrid.

2- Zyon Pullin.
Tyus Jones/ Malcolm Brogdon hybrid.

3- Cam Spencer.
A point guard version of Grayson Allen/ Mark Price/ young Danny Ainge hybrid.

4- Quinton Post.
A very offensively polished/ skilled two way 7 ft version of Jacob Poetl/ Jock Landale with deep range three point shooting.

5- Nae'qwan Tomlin.
A 6'10 very explosively athletic, very versatile two-way SF/ PF with a gery high ceiling of a mix of Jaden McDaniels and Naz Reid.

6- PJ Hall.
A 6'9 very athletic, very productive, hybrid of Tom Gugliotta/ Luis Scola.

7- Enrique Freeman.
A 6'7 with a 7'2 wingspan physical strong defensive, productive defensive wing/ forward
In the mold of a Montrez Harrell/ Jason Maxiell/ smaller Isiah Stewart hybrid.

8- Ryan Kalkbrenner.
A 7'1 254 lb with a 7'5 wingspan modern 3 & D center with a solid floor spacing and face up game and elite shot blocking potential. Kalkbrenner is a hybrid mix of a young Brook Lopez and a better shotblocking Brad Miller.

9- Judah Mintz.
A 6'4 176 lb combo guard. Mintz is an electrifying scoring playmaking guard with elite speed and high end athleticism. Mintz is basically a mix of Deaaron Fox and poor man's D Rose.

10- Mantas Rubstavicius.
A 6'8 200 lb shooting guard. Mantas is a long, fluid, high IQ, versatile sharpshooting/ scoring wing that is a European product that has a crafty game and is a 6'8 mix of Luke Kennard and Peja stojakovic.

I say we trade

Nurkic, 56 for Dort

Interesting idea.... as what combination is better

Using Nurkic to get say Dort and combined Dort with a FA Center
or keep Nurk and signed a vet minimum wing

I prefer Option 1: Dort + say Achiuwa

Post is really interesting name at 56, big C that can really space the floor

Would we have enough money for that? I think it's either Dort or Achiuwa, not both? That's why I said get Flip (or Kolek) for us. Achiuwa could then offer the toughness and D that we need with our bigs.

2nd apron teams can't trade cash.

I think Dort for Nurkic is DOA as Dort is likely to have significantly more value than Nurk. But Dort would be a trade acquisition where Achiuwa would be a free agent acquisition, so it wouldnt be an either/or to "afford" them. You'd just need the Thunder to significantly undervalue Dort and for Achiuwa to significantly undervalue himself. Then you're golden!

I wonder if we should have tried to get in on something like this

I would guess the Kings are cutting immediate payroll using Toronto cap space here so we wouldn't really be in the running

For what tho? Doesn't say what the Dinos gave up for that. Both of those SAC players are legit, I assume Masai had to trade actual assets.

I love Kolek, and it would be a very hard choice, but I'd probably draft Filipowski and then Zyon Pullin at 56. Because Filipowski would help space the floor in the frontcourt more. And Zyon Pullin is severely underrated as a playmaking floor general with great shooting. Either Pullin or Cam Spencer at 56 for our backup guard needs.

I want **** to happen if its going to anyway!! I have no patience!! If we have trades lined up for Nurk and or Little and or Roddy, lets get this **** moved already!!

Yep! Quinton Post is listed as a center, but is actually a long rugged very skilled two way 4/5 that is very fundamentally sound , strong offensively with deep 3 point range, and solid shotblocking too. He's an offensively polished rich man's version of Jock Landale with solid defense that averages close to a double/ double.

[Fo-Real]

Pistons are gonna renounce Wiseman.

Yeah, it’s a salary dump for the Kings. They wouldn't accept Little with his 3 year contract.
