Kessler or Richards have small enough salaries that you could KEEP Mitch and still get them.

Poetl and Stewart and even possibly Valanciunus (who is not an ideal rim protector) would require Mitch to go.

In my opinion The ideal route is to go for Kessler. I am betting Kolek is gaining steam big time in the eyes of other teams evaluators. His game is quickly improving and he didnt look like toast out there on D vs Utah. Utah also had strong interest in Dadiet. From what I am reading, We have the abilty to trade 1FRP and multiple 2nd RPs. Ainge is tough to deal with granted but I think some combination of:

Kolek, Dadiet, Right to Rokas, 1FRP, Multiple 2nd Round picks would get it done for Kessler.

Utah is on a long term rebuild and getting super young cost controlled guys in Kolek and/or Dadiet and/or Rokas would fit their timeline.

The rim protecting 5 doesn't carry extreme value to the league like it once did as much as it does to Thibs defense. And Kessler is not some superstar player. He definitely has value but it isnt like some crazy 3+ FRP value either.

Get Thibs the 6 deep center rotation he craves

I mean maybe not 6 but 2 or 3 rim protectors absolutely. 8-)

Put OG on Shai and Bridges on Williams to start… if OG could muck up SGA’a offense in the first half, we could build a lead. Might force Shai into taking more three’s…

Being wrong 10 times in a row is a good thing. I just want you to know that.

Most anticipated game of the season so far.
We should take care of business if Brunson is playing.
10 game winning streak!!
Let's go Knicks!!!

going on 5 years under Thibs and we've reached the 9 game mark 4 times including this streak. It would be nice lift!

Just browsed their roster on hoopshype looking for a possible Jimmy Butler deal and I got the impression that they really shouldn’t be that good :lol:

We should win that game.

No starter for OKC played over 30 mins last night. I don’t even think we get the advantage of them being on a back 2 back. We will have to go in and get off to a good start.
