Is Graham better than Clarkson? Could uhh we get in on that action? I can’t be talked out of liking Markkanen.

Graham is really good. He's a true PG. He averaged 18 and 7.5 last year, but was limited this year due to LaMelo. If New Orleans can get him to a $15 million a year type deal, they did amazing work. I think he's an NBA starter quality player. This year, he took 8.7 3's a game and hit 37.5% of them.
Just imagine if he was surrounded by good players.

I think I'd rather not chance it. I'm not sure if it's possible, but it might be a good idea to split it up and sign two less expensive players. Likely one now, and save the other portion for a buyout.

If Conley isn’t announced, that would be alarming.
The Landale idea is growing on me. The size of the chip on this guy’s shoulder screams Jazzman to me.
If for Clarkson I'd probably be quite good with it. I'd be all in on a Mitchell, Conley, Smart, Butler backcourt.
If for Ingles, I could probably live with it, though I'd also hate it on a certain level. They both are high level role players who make good teams better with the little things they do, though rather differently.
For Bogey, I just don't think that would be reasonable team-building. We still need someone, preferably in the frontcourt, who can hit threes at a high level and volume and create secondary/tertiary offense for himself.
Still not seeing a path that makes sense. Does Boston need either Ingles or Clarkson? With Fournier likely gone and with such an anemic bench to start with, maybe they do. But I don't think either matches the Celtics preferred timeline well.
Yes, I believe this is possible.

I'm doubting they'd want either after they picked up Josh Richardson.
Hadn't seen/overlooked that.

i was having the exact same thought about sending Bogie, then i remembered they'd picked him up. Bleh
