Thoughts in General, Random Rumors and Musings, Blah Blah 14.0 Eddie Najera Edicion
Let's start with I hope all this Kuzma to Dallas talk is nothing. But since Dallas always trades with Washington, let's get a Gafford.

Najera was a treat and brings back fond memories
Gafford is solid and knows his role
Kuzma sucks every kind of suck

Dropping this here since I posted it right before the previous general thread was locked.
From the Hardwood Knocks podcast w/ Smitty…
"(OKC should get) a 4/5 that can play w Chet & back him up. John Collins is shooting the ball well again, playing the 5 almost exclusively for Utah. You can go get Collins for relatively easy; Bertans & a pick or 2 to Danny Ainge. Whether as a starter or high minutes backup.”
That would certainly surprise me based on discussions on this board.

You can call me faithless.
But I still cling to hope and I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me.

Based off what Utah paid to get him, he’s still the same guy they traded for.. this isn’t Lauri breakout

I’m less upset about trading for Kuz than other Dallas fans. Until I think of what Washington would get, considering what Dallas has to offer... And then I feel like other Dallas fans.

I mean I haven't listened to the pod, but sure just sounds like Smitty spitballing, not reporting. So I don't think you need to worry about a big shock. OKC should be either aiming higher or aiming cheaper. A fairly mediocre highly compensated big who has issues in the past with reduced roles isn't who a very good young team with tons of assets should be settling for.
If Collins moves its to a talent and asset poor team. Which I realize sounds exactly like my Mavs, but I'd rather have Kuzma that's how little I want Collins. We had him, only a better fitting version in Wood. It was not an experience to repeat.
But there are other teams who might feel desperate enough to liberate Utah from the deal? But not giving them 2 firsts to do so lol.

2 Top 55 protected seconds should do the trick.

Collins is the antithesis of a Presti move, if Prestinis calling Ainge, it's about other forward.

Definitely in spitballing mode.

Dropping this twice doesn’t mean he worth 2 picks.
But in all honesty, if someone still believe, he’s a cheap upgrade. Where is that someone though.

Najera went to OU! My alma mater. Though I was there after he played. I'm here for Najera too.
Cheers

What are people's thoughts on the deadline ATM?
There are reports that it's really quiet. Is it quiet or is it just the calm before the storm?
