If Kessler is what you think him to be ask yourself why Jazz would be trading such a young building block for at least a pick, lol.

He's neither old or expensive, so if you believe he has the potential to be a good starter, why don't the Jazz feel the same about his future with them ?

Looks like you having trouble finding a C.

What about Poeltl ? Raptors will most likely want draft capital ..

Give them CJ to flip his value. Add value if necessary for them to eat the rest of his salary.

A Jazz fan posted the following quote on the trade board.

"I could see Utah offering Kessler and a 27 FRP (Minn/Clev) for someone like K. Ware of Miami. Gives Utah a starting center for the foreseeable future."

This poster wants to package Kessler with a first, for a starting C.

NO's fans if they didn't know is going to find out Jonas > CJ

I watched the Wizards summer league game. Sarr tonight at 7' showed an ability to handle the ball & beat pressure in the back court, he showed the ability, willingness to make the correct pass with 4 assists & would have had more if his teammates had hit the open 3, he teased with a side step 3 & his defense was impactful outside the 4 blocks. I thought he was more impressive than their leading scorer who's also 18 considering Wizards ran a roster without a viable PG to set up Sarr who's raw offensively but still put up 12pts regardless.

12 - 7 - 4 - 4

Whole Truth wrote:Hawks got a better more versatile defender to pair with Young. Low usage offensive player which allows Young to be high usage with elite defensive compensation. The very reason Daniels was a positive paired with Zion. At 20 he's already a better defender than Murray, it's only a question of when he won't be an offensive liability.

NO's fans think Daniels is barely worth a late first I would have replaced him with another first if that was the case. Daniels was in trade to prevent having to trade Herb.

Watching Dyson play, I see why you wanted to keep him. I think he'll fit quite well fir the Hawks.

Any truth to the Mitchell Robinson rumors?

I don’t, because I don’t think there is a meaningful move for him when so many others should be moved first.

Sucks our season fell apart early. Zion’s FG% is super low by his standards, but he’s averaging career highs in rebounds (10.2 per 36), steals/blocks(1.5 and 1.5), and assists(6.7 per 36) in under 30 mins, his second lowest minutes per, only below his rookie season.

The activity level is fantastic, we’re still such a different team with him on the floor. It’s tantalizing to come off of, and trading him for salary relief on a team still log jammed would be a huge disappointment.

This season has been hugely disappointing and I had to sort of take a break from basketball for the moment, but they always lure me back in. Love being dead wrong about Missi, another solid draft pick for this regime, who has been surprisingly solid there.
