That happened right after I posted that. I’m fine with a Giddey pick as well.

These guys are expecting to win now. Pretty much the whole team feels confident in a new way from the past couple years. I think they’re pretty likely to make the play-in. They flipped the switch.

It sure feels like it. If Giddey and J Dub keep it up, I think it’s a strong likelihood.

Not sure if acquiring him makes sense right now because he’s a UFA this offseason but Naz Reid is way high up my list. An energy bench big who can spot start, guard bigger centers in the post, and knock down the 3 consistently would be huge.

If the price is right, sure. I don’t really see who the missing piece is we could add for the starters.

What could we get from Utah for their FRP back? Sexton would be fair value wise but I'm not a fan. Still a good 6th man though.

The only thing Utah has that I’m interested in is Lauri. I don’t see anyway a deal gets done unless Sam sees him as the missing piece on this roster and wants to overpay. Perhaps a three team deal where Sam and Danny can exploit another gm and both come away winners.

Yea not seeing any prospect I like on that roster that they will be willing to give up for that pick back. At best it’s a future trade whereby we return that pick to move up from our draft day position .

We look so confident right now. Hitting 3 after 3 in the 4th quarter.

Oh well, I have to agree with Slick. I wanted to wait and trade for a more talented guy but a SGA, Chet, Jalen, Giddey, Dort squad is already pretty good so adding John Collins or PJ Washington would be great. We will have more than 30 millions in cap space next season so gotta try to improve as much as possible because we aren't rebuilding only through the draft if Shai keeps playing like a top 10-15 player.

Now that Dort is tradeable I woun't mind seeing a dort plus 2-3 first round picks for OG Anunoby.
