Definitely a pile of stuff, but enough stuff to push ATL/NOP to put in real stuff.

The DET pick ain't bad btw. I think they will a decent team going forward now that they have a coach who isn't purposely trying to lose and get fired by spamming Kylian Hayes. They have quite a bit of depth and a bunch of vets in a ****** east. I would actually bet on that pick conveying as a mid first at some point.
I am not sure if the Detroit pick will convey but both turn into multiple good seconds if they don't. Its like a 7 good second round picks for Walker type of offer. I can see Ainge being absolutely disgusted.

Tbf, everything goes horribly wrong for DET but not making the playoffs/play in in the next 3 years would be crazy. It's not completely out of the question that they make it this year if Cade makes a jump.

That pick has like a 85% chance of conveying I think.

I'd say 50/50. They'd have to be a play in winner in one of the next two years. The third year they may manage it if things have gone poorly.
 
We only have like 4 good players going into next season. Now, I wouldn’t be certain about anything, but we’re not heading into the season as a deep team like we were before. With Hardy, two of them might not ever share the court anyways. Probably in a good tank spot no matter what, but I do agree that extra certainty would but nice one what or another.
 
GS fans are gonna be so sick of this in a week or so and start behaving like Knicks and Heat fans. There will be leverage talk.
 
If I am Lauri I also wouldn't fully trust GS management if they start making promises. They got cheap on Klay so the "trust me bro" would ring a bit hollow.
 
IND was mentioned, I think that's kind of interesting. They can't trade all their picks, but they can trade 29+31 and have Mathurin + Walker.

I'm still a huge Jarace Walker believer....I was a huge fan of Mathurin in the draft, but he's kind of an iffy prospect at this point. One of the players who analytics hates the most.

I highly doubt the stomach the risk of Lauri walking.
 
does anyone else remember 2011 when golden state blatantly tanked their last 25 games so they could keep their draft pick and take harrison barnes. i sure do. screw you you Golden State. if we have to trade lauri, and i dont want to, it either SA with Atlanta 1st or Houston for a lot of their young good talent that just havent put it all together yet. no GSW they camnot be trusted.

I doubt a trade is consummated unless there's an understanding between Lauri and his destination a max contract gets done.
 
The main reason I see for a Kessler trade is that the Jazz just don't want to move forward having to play offense around someone as limited as Kessler

It's one thing to do it for a GOAT like Gobert, but for a guy like Kessler? Ehhhhhhhhhhh

I remember that very well.

It’s one of my argument for tanking.

GSW tanked their way to Barnes that kick started their dynasty.

Most anti-tankers choose to turn a blind eye to that.
