Danilo Gallinari could be a target of the Jazz. A 3-point shooting 3/4 who can also get his own shot. The Clippers could be looking to shed his salary in order to free up 2 max slots.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if a deal for Gallo happens. Makes a lot of sense for both teams.

If Grayson is the answer we are asking the wrong question.

He didn’t say he was, just hoping and it’s natural for a fan base to hopes first round pick makes a big improvement between his first to second year, and Allen did have some nice games to end the season so naturally people are hoping he builds off that, but no one said he’s the answer. I hope he’s the answer, hell even u hope he’s the answer. No need to be weird about it.
 
We need more than just one more shooter. The winning teams that can contend have multiple excellent shooters all over the place. We need SHOOTERS! Plural! Teams that want to contend are stacking the deck with the most accurate long range shooters they can find!
We have a very good nucleus of everything else....but when we have wide open shots and we miss them on a regular basis we will never move up in the standings or playoff race! You have to have at least THREE dead eye dicks in your starting lineup and a bunch of other more than average shooters coming off the bench. There are only two teams that have than right now, Houston and GS. The other teams are short on shooters and won't be able to contend with Houston or GS for the title!

There are a couple challenges I see with a Gallo deal:

1. If LA is trading Gallo, it’s to acquire either assets or cap space [assuming they’re looking to sign two big players this summer]. We can’t really offer the first (well, at least we shouldn’t, unless it was this year’s pick and we didn’t care about it... but after all we’ve passed up on for keeping our picks, it’d be disappointing to exchange that for one year of Gallo), so it’s possible we could land him to help them open cap space.

2. The problem of landing him on our end is more of a logistics question of how we obtain him. If we traded Favors for him, we could maintain some flexibility by operating above the cap and still having the MLE. However, trading Favors for him would defeat the purpose of LA dealing him because they want cap space, so we’d have to trade for him without sending much salary back, meaning we’d have to create cap space (by renouncing our rights on guys) and then absorbing his salary into our available cap in the deal. This leaves us strapped because we no longer have the flexibility of using the MLE.

3. All the years of “flexibility” would be wasted on a short-run of Gallo. We need to snag someone now before we go above the cap permanently, unless Gallo is a place holder, but that puts us back on the revolving door, looking forward to “the future,” that we’ve been doing for sometime now.

Not being weird, we just need a lot more than, a hopefully, improved Allen.
 
The Clippers would be one of those teams that could revive Exum's career between Patrick Beverly turning Exum into a man and Doc Rivers there to maximise his potential, idk if I'd like that lol.

Gallo a **** defendsr, no thanks.

Aminu and Lamb.

Aminu would be such massive upgrade over Crowder.

I'm on board with this.

Step 1 - draft Carsen Edwards and Admiral Schofield. We would probably have to trade into the early 2nd round (Philly has #24, #33 and #34) to get whichever one of them slides that far.

Step 2 - let Rubio, Thabo, Udoh walk

Step 3 - when free agency begins, at least try to get Kemba, Tobias, etc.

Step 4 - when we don't get a max or near max guy, we go lock up Lamb early. With Favors (even after we renounce Rubio, Thabo and Udoh), we have around $14 million of cap room. If we give Lamb slightly more than the MLE, I think we got him. So let's just say that costs us $9+. That leaves us around $4ish million for Aminu. If we renounce Neto, we would be able to give Aminu $6ish. Considering how much Portland is in the luxury, I think that maybe gets it done.

Step 5 - keep Favors (if we could extend him before his deadline to something less than $12 for 3+ years, that would be one of the best moves of the DL era)

Result:
Gobert
Favors (last year with Jazz?)
Ingles
Exum
Lamb
Crowder (last year with Jazz)
Korver (last year with Jazz)
Aminu
Mitchell
Grayson
Bradley (last year with Jazz?)
Niang
O'Neale
Edwards
Schofield
