The truth is he's always been available... there's just not much demand for him.
I’d disagree, he became available after Snyder left.
Moderators: FJS, Inigo Montoya

e.g.:
renegotiate & extend Lauri
Hendricks + George + 2 CLE 1sts for Cunningham
Collins + MIN 1sts for Mikal Bridges
Sexton + Agbaji + Sensabaugh + MIN 1st for Simons
We'd still have some picks outstanding to draft guys or make trades, but the starting five would be:
Anfernee Simons - Cade Cunningham - Mikal Bridges - Lauri Markkenen - Walker Kessler
+ a 2024 lottery pick + Clarkson
I'm not sure this is a direction we should go, but we have enough trade assets to put together a young team that can make noise in the playoffs while still having assets for subsequent deals.

You're trippin
Also Simons isn't that good why send a star package for him?

Will OKC pay a Kings ransom for him?
How about Mark and THT for C Wallace,Bertrans ( negative contract) and 4 picks?

It's no secret the Raptors FO have always had interest in THT and Utah was also interested in Trent last year.
Utah has a plethora of first round picks.
Why OG? Utah can afford to re-sign him and he bolsters their defense significantly. (Utah currently is a bottom 5 team in defense)
Lauri-OG on the wings is a very strong tandem. Having those two alongside the trio of young guns - Keyonte, Hendricks, and Kessler - bodes well for Utah moving forward.
Utah can still move Clarkson, Collins, etc., to accumulate more picks if they desire.
Utah Starting 5:
George
OG
Lauri
Hendricks
Kessler

In fairness, Hardy benched Kessler for Yurtseven too. It's less about Collins or Yurtseven as it is about Kessler not being as good as he was last season. But we've seen some progress recently so hopefully he'll be back to his former self soon and be a starter again. If anything, perhaps Hendricks is more impacted as there aren't enough minutes for him and he looks like he's ready for more minutes than he'd been getting.

Not sure if the Celtics have anything we'd want.
