What's new

Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Garland already locked up for what would feed into the 25/27 draft... might have asked out by then but who knows... and that is the point... a lot can happen.

I think Cavs end up moving Don next summer for Barrett and a couple picks... or to Miami for Herro and stuff.
I actually think RJ Barrett fits pretty well with their group as the big wing that they're currently lacking.

I think the only way they'd trade him after a year is if he asked out though. And I don't really see him doing that considering how obsessed he seems to be with maintaining his public image.
 
This is a massive all in move by Cleveland. Problems they have is giving up what they did, means no margin for error. Utah has a pretty bright future, if they don't turn around and move any of these 3. One season on the retool and bring in Myles Turner in unrestricted or maybe Steven Adams makes sense?
I think Agbaji is destined for ROY
 
It will likely be a higher usage guy like Ivey or Banchero that wins ROY.
It’s Banchero’s to lose. I think Murray in Sac could put up decent numbers too. Jabari Smith looked a little passive in summer league. I could also see Mathurin or Duren putting up big numbers and getting it if Paolo gets hurt.

Ochai might make an all rookie team but ROY ain’t happening.

Makes sense. Detroit is probably not ready to give up the tank, but I am not sure Ivey and Cade don't share the ball enough to take him out of that category. Banchero and Smith are on teams with heavy usage guard play as well. I just like Utah having a good environment for Ochai to feast
 
True. I guess I need to use better comparisions. His game is very similar to Bane of last season than rookie Bane though so just trust me on this !!!
I am a huge fan of Agbaji, and think he will be really good for us, but no way he wins ROY.
 
Banchero going to win it cuz he's clearly the best rookie in the class now that Chet is gone.

My dark horse would be Murray if he has a great year and the Kings play really well. He won't have as good raw stats as Banchero, but if he can get within arms distance the winning might put him over the top

Jaden Ivey?

OK sure I know not great odds. However I don't think it is out of the question like most do. Consider a situation where he efficiently scores over 25 points a game as a rookie and the team is in the play in game. Still think he has no shot?

It really is kind of a stat padding award unfortunately
