Iko is a little hit or miss these days but he said Dallas offered two seconds for Tate and got turned down, Houston wanted at least 3

Dallas sorta can trade 3 2nds, jay knows how it works, but one is currently tied up with that first they owe the Knicks.

Also lol at Dallas just shotgunning for meh options all over the place.

I'm genuinely excited to see Kira get some minutes in Utah

Do we know what 1st Toronto traded? I'm guessing the okc one? Don't mind this, Ochai looked like he had some 3&D potential, not sure why he didn't get much of a chance this year.

Because the three was more theoretical than actual.

I’m wondering what Utah is doing… they just traded away all their SFs

Yeah, that “worse of okc/utah/houston/LAC” 1st.

An athletic player of African descent who plays good D but has a questionable shot?

Masai has a type, and Agbaji fits it perfectly!

So, Either Jazz is punting the season (And mow is a good moment to make premium offers for Lauri) or is catching a big fish. By now, Jazz is a worse team than before and assured to have the pick in 2024 (top 10 protected to OKC).

I don't think it's either at the moment. I think Ainge is making some trims and picking up assets. But it's clear that this isn't the core team going forward, and this year doesn't really matter except Jazz fans really want to clear the pick debt. I don't think any of these moves impacted the upside of this 2024 team greatly. And now they have more assets for future moves.

Jazz "waived" 2 significant players: Olynik and Fontecchio. The 3rd best defender and the best passer. I am sure they are getting worse.

Dallas is obsessed with trading with Washington

If by waived you mean received the 32nd and 28th picks, then yes I agree.

Were those guys going to be on the team next year?

So uhhhh who's left to trade for Bruce Brown? Lakers? Saw Mavs had sniffed around, they probably could get there with Grant/Green but I'm not sure they would want to send out two guys from the rotation.

Anyone hearing if Portland is going to do anything or are they standing pat?
