Looks like the Jazz have Lauri about ready to send up to the Lakers.

Anyone not named Reaves/Luka you can have + picks etc

Random question, what picks do the Lakers still have to move?

From memory 1 FRP unsure which one haven't checked for a while, plus I think 4-5 pick swaps and SRP from memory, someone else can confirm:)

Lebron?

[GeorgeSears]

Jamal Murray is off to a great start this season. Which is much needed because Jokic looks a bit pudgy and Cam Johnson still hasn't figured how to play.

Danny Ainge looking vindicated for not trading Walker Kessler. Putting up borderline all star numbers to start the season. He is almost too good to trade now, esp as other teams (especially those who are desperate for a big man) have very limited resources. He would be amazing for Boston but probably too rich for our blood (although we have plenty of picks to play with)

As a high-energy paint protector who scores at the rim and keeps things moving on offense, he's good. I'm not 100% sure he's the archetype the Jazz really want long-term, but they'd need to have something better on board to move him.

Ayton with 4 fouls, might have to bring Koloko back in

[SlimShady83]

Blazers so scared of Reaves lmao

Just our 2031 first round pick atm. i guess in a year we have two first round picks available going by current rules.

Who runs the show over there in Memphis? I feel like they never take any big swings or make any real changes. I know things have been wild with Ja Morant the last couple years but it’s as if they’ve had the same roster since he was drafted there to begin with. It’s like they’re content having him and Jaren Jackson Jr. just be competitive to an extent (if healthy) and that’s it.

I like a lot of their roster so I’m not trying to say they suck or anything, it just seems as if they don’t have any real aspirations to do anything beyond a potential playoff spot when healthy.

Joker so fat and unfit he could only put up 25/19/10 on 90%.

If Niko was running the Spurs, that would be plenty to get Wemby.

So...nothing, basically.

[OldSchoolNoBull]

Ashley Shahahmadi is a star.

Small market syndrome. They have a very similar problem like Utah has in that no big name player or star wants to play/live there.

They tried desperately to trade for Jimmy Butler last season but the entitled cry baby refused to play there, this is part of the reason why they have JJJ that max extension.

I don’t think big city fans like myself actually truly understand who hard/difficult it is to root for a small market teams with very limited resources and attraction for big players.

I have a very soft spot for the likes of Grizz, Jazz, Blazers and their fans for that reason. I appreciate.their support and loyalty to their teams, which has to be very tough at times.

The Jazz's win total opened at O/U 18.5 That's the lowest total since the 76ers in the 2014-15 season.

[GeorgeSears]

When The Grizzlies lose, they lose bigly.

[SlimShady83]

Knecht raising that trade value

[SlimShady83]

got to be one of the longest game and not even 3rd quarter over lols

I've wanted Knecht on Portland if they can get him. I still believe in him.

For real, this game is kinda brutal.
