PHO traded an unprotected 1st in 2031 for 3 lesser 1st from UTA which are from CLE/MIN.

No worries to us we'll have our championship by then and Baron Trump will be president.

I mean, two firsts and Jett is a massive haul, you wouldn't offer that for most mature versions of this archetype let alone an injured and unproven rookie.

Those extra years on (late first) rookie scale deal are a big plus…I think he proved a lot

Ok- now UTA only has one 25 frp…they might be more interested in one or both of ours than a few hours ago.

They still have Minnesota’s 1st and theirs. So currently #1 and 14.

Utah may as well be in another league. I talk about Sexton here and there but I don't think Utah is all that motivated to move anyone at the moment.

Yeah I’ve got a feeling he’d have to ask out for them to move him.

George Sexton Flagg Makannen and Kessler is a solid 5

That was an interesting trade by Ainge. He's probably thinking he may have just gotten the #1 pick and he very well could be right.

Prob the only bright spot of this injury-riddled season has shown who is good enough to a rotation player and who needs to be shipped out. Paolo, Franz, Suggs and Goga are basically our best players with Mo off the bench. Without these guys we suck

AB and TDS have shown glimpses and overall should be bench players as they continue to improve. KCP we just signed and the FO likes so I'm sure they want to keep him for the playoffs.

The tradeable: Wendell, JI, Cole, Jett, Gary and everyone else should be shopped this summer before the draft to get us some damn shooting help. We arent going nowhere with this historically atrocious offense. Weltman cant continue this patient watch and see approach. Its long overdue to make a move.

You know, I agree with this list. Especially the tradable aspects. If you can flip 1/2 of those players for an actual shooting big (do they exist?) and get some known commodity shooters out of the consolidation of Cole / Jett / Gary that really could work out for us.

AB / TDS while having upside are perfect off the bench today and totally servicable in a starting lineup.

Yeah I'm not sold on AB or TDS as core pieces but they are on rookie contracts and can provide valuable production off the bench. Unless its for a significantly better rotation player on a decent contract, I don't see our front office moving them.

We have to get rid of Wendell Carters contract. Goga has made him disposable. WCJr still holds some value in the league for teams that needs staring C that can hit open shot (most times).

I will think we need to find a serviceable starting level PG alongside suggs and move KCP to the bench. Sexton makes too much sense here. Give Utah Wendell, FRP and filler to make it happen.

Sexton
Suggs
Franz
P5
Goga

Bench
AB
KCP
TDS
Mo (next season)
Isaac

Tell me that rotation doesn't get you excited to make a playoff push?

I’m trying to prepare myself for trade deadline disappointment but it’s difficult. I’m willing to give up AB, TDS, Jett, a 1st, and two 2nds for whoever.

Rumor that Sacramento wants Cam and is willing to offer a protected first but NJ wants an unprotected 1st.

Rumors the Blazers would take 2 seconds and a prospect for Simons.

Vuc for a protected first to the Warriors.
