So who is giving Danny Ainge 4th first round picks and 3 pick swaps? How many picks do Connelly have left lol

If he was on any other team I would love for Orlando to go after him but Ainge might want Paolo and Franz with 4 first round picks and 6 swaps for him.

Would OKC be interested in him? I think they'd prefer Hartenstein

I know he isn’t perfect but he is a masterful shot blocker. I had him on my fantasy team this past year and was continually frustrated that it seemed like they would make every excuse not to play him; even at the end of year with everyone hurt he would only get fifteen minutes. I can only imagine how that instability and lack of faith would affect a young player. I think Utah is making a mistake and I hope he finds a good home elsewhere.

Walker Kessler is at best a bench centre/roll player on a competing team or a starting centre on a bad team, and he isn't going to get better to change that. Why would anyone give Ainge "a package" of talent.

Strongly disagree.

If I were OKC I would offer Utah their pick back, plus the Miami 1st (or Dieng)

Wolves offer a 2037 2nd round pick.

He got yanked around pretty egregiously this season due to Ainge's desire to keep the pick by tanking. This might be a quiet request out by his representation. Another wasted year and losing on purpose probably will hurt his value. Don't be surprised to see Sexton want out as well.

Would be a great backup to Wemby. But knowing Ainge, as the OP insinuated, he'll want multiple 1sts for him

he's not really good. He was just okay value for where he was chosen. I doubt they'd get much and he wouldn't be on the block if Danny was worried at all about being able to replace him with a late pick in this year's draft.

Perfect OKC fit. according to stats, he is still one of the best paint defenders in the league.

I understand...the sting of losing Game 7 at home is at best a slow fade.

Can OKC have Lauri instead? Not to be greedy or anything.

Since I was high on him even when he was still at UNC, id be interested.
However, it is Ainge so Ill probably laugh at his demands first

Naaah you forgot the rights to name the first-born child of every current Magic player after himself first.
