Is Andy Steven A. Smith’s alt or is Steven A. Smith Andy’s alt?

Trae Young is very available. Other than that... I'm not really sure what stars are actually truly available. My read on the market is that the teams who are losing in the playoffs are generally trying to add to their cores rather than by full-blown starting over, with only a couple exceptions among teams with players you probably won't want. Like, the Warriors would probably trade Draymond. Does that make any sense for Utah? To me, no.

After flaming out, what about Devin Booker? I’m sure he’s the piece they do NOT want to trade but I wonder if he can be had for the right price. Three 1sts, Hendricks, etcetera, which feels a little light.

Andy actual real question, what is this teams identity and is there a direction from the front office to establish one? I have a hard time watching the team and buying in, they seem to lack a personality as a team.

It's a good question. I think ultimately they're hoping that it's either Will's identity or that whatever lead star they get establishes a culture. Danny's talked before about how the minute KG arrived in Boston, the culture did a complete 180 in that building... and I think he thinks that is applicable to this situation, too.

also .. i still don't get the Fontecchio trade. Surely he's not going to be that expensive ??? I can only make sense of it as a tank move.

I think he's going to be more expensive than people think... at least the MLE. He was legit one of the better role players in the league last year, and only got better once he went to Detroit. But I think Ainge wanted to push the asset forward and didn't necessarily 100% buy that the 3-point improvement was real.
