Tyus Jones has been the most speculated player over the past 2 years. I think the interest may have been before Richardson.

I love Richardson! Excellent pick! But this is where the expectations get really out of wack for these young players. Even as a backup guard you can’t expect a 19 year old to be ready for a playoff run. There just not prepared to play that many games and the speed of the game. You get Tyus and bring Richardson on slowly.

Exactly. you bring in a capable player.... but not someone that puts a wall in the way if your goal is for Richardson to fill that role.

Plus... we have to be fluid.... richardson is our pick.... and if your goal is to have him fill a particular role, then you don't bring a player in that you are signing a large deal to.

With bane and suggs.... playing 30 min a night.... staggering them even with black.... there is probably not going to be as much of a need for a high level back up... if AB is your guy. BUT.... yup.... we do need the facilitating option.... and I'm down for that being one of the Jones brothers... and especially a #breakincaseofemergencyoption

Id try to sign Brook Lopez and Tyus Jones. Trade Goga for a shooting guard like Knecht. Resign Mo. Try to dump Jett on the Nets..

to be fair, the playoff run doesnt start day 1, he will have the whole season to develop and see where he is at come playoff time.

I have a feeling Caleb might get signed and traded.

Wanted LeVert since he was on the Nets. He is quality. I hope we get him and then beat the Cavs with him

He does pass the ball well and could fill in a few minutes bringing the ball up the court for Franz and Banchero when needed plus a very good 3 point shooter.

DeAndre Fox for Suggs and WCJ

Just in: The Utah Jazz are trading Collin Sexton and a 2030 second-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic, sources tell ESPN. Can put those dreams to rest.

LeBron just exercised his player option at Lakers, so a trade is coming? 8-)

Evidently, Magic are officially interested in Tyus Jones!

There is a good chance NAW gets more than the MLE.

I think i would trade Goga to the Pelicans in their TPE. We could find a minimum type center later, like Paul Reed. Maybe we could trade Jett for Dwight Powell, who has one more season at $4m.

That would give us an $8.3m TPE to use instead of the MLE.

You can trade Goga for Matković straight up, saves team $5M.

That would be a good trade for both sides.

as frail as WCJ is, then we could go into the playoffs with Matkovic as our starting center?

How do we convert Jett into Gary Trent Jr.?
