Confusing why Utah had to give up the SRP when both are expiring and Sexton is the better player and even making slightly less money as well.

That saltics big 3 trade will forever be his calling card

He also traded a couple of them for the nets picks that became Tatum and Brown. He’s a great GM.

Utah should continue the tank for '26 draft. Roster needs a top end talent so the alternatives aren't appealing anyways.

Lauri would look great beside Scottie in Ingram's spot. But he'll cost way too much.

Hes been with Utah for long enough to have a MUCH better roster than he currently has. We talk about Masai spinning his wheels, Ainge broke up a 60 win team to do NOTHING for 4 years now. They are so far away from being even play-in worthy.

And all those picks he got in those 2 deals? All that is left is a Min/Cle swap right in 2026, Cle swap rights in 2028, and a 2031 PHX pick. His selections so far have yielded very little.

But you won't hear anything from TWO on this.

According to our smart posters they just need to keep tanking. Let’s check back in 2026. If that doesn’t work either, they can just tank again in 2027

Ainge is awful. He could've traded Sexton before or during the draft and at least got some asset back but lost all leverage after they drafted Walter Clayton Jr.

Dick for Kessler works in the trade checker. But I don't see Utah needing another SG. Maybe Bobby can pull off a three team deal?

Dick is two years younger and was the higher draft pick. I don't want to give up on him, but we really do need a backup C more then an extra SG.

Even a year ago Ainge was being praised on here. He's been an absolute disaster in Utah. Just one more year of tanking guys then everything will be fixed. lol.
