I think that is a giant part of it. He looked lost his rookie year early and that is how he looks right now. As the season progressed you could see he was more comfortable. I get that Will likes to coach hard. Yelling and screaming at a kid over mistakes is not always going to inspire...

When you look at the on/off stuff with Missi... I think they have it backwards (at least short term).

Missi is still a guy I'm pretty interested in out of NOP. Not sure why they have him available. Not sure if Brice/Flip are of interest to NOP but one of them plus a second? Straight up... maybe we take the Hawkins contract off their hands. That's one I think we should be kicking the tires on...

That's kind of what I was getting at with the WCJ convo. Philon/Acuff/Burries are guys I can see going in the teens and 20s and just being HUGE draft values.

On draft night Miami could send their 2026 pick (after making the pick) and 29/31/33 picks plus Ware/Herro/Kas/Jacquez/Jovic. I'd probably wait that out. If they did it now they can't send the 26 pick or the 33 pick.

Its not amazing. In the NBA team control will also dictate trade value. So Orlando got 4 years of Bane under contract. They got off the terrible KCP deal too. Giannis has like 1.25 years left on his deal... so its not a totally open market. When players have a list and have contract leverage...

I understand teams that CAN make the best offer... you have to trust the reporting a little or else you are just playing 2k. SAS/Houston/OKC are as definitively out as you can be rumored to be... by their own choosing. Orlando needs Mil to wait for Banchero's extension to kick in this summer...

6 of our next 12 are against tanking teams or just trash teams (see NOP). Our record in those games may be what ultimately determines if we are 5th, 6th or 7th. The two games with Milwaukee also loom large now.

Depends on if they put CMB and if Milwaukee will take back the Poeltl deal imo. I do think they have the best potential package right now. I think GS could win if they put up all the picks and swaps and take back Kuzma... but I think Milwaukee could do better in the offseason from the Knicks...

Asa, Raynaud, and Kas have had some moments where they looked good. They might be pretty similar to WCJ though in terms of value. Not counting it as some miss or anything... we may end up being right. I just think if you compare WCJ to some of the guards in the 14-30ish range (really fluid...

GM FOMO is real.

Adams/Eason for Love OR Anderson gets them out of the tax this year and saves them some future salary. Adams has 2/25M left on his deal. When he's on the court he is still really impactful. Not sure he can stay on the court though. Would nuke a good chunk of our cap space but Eason might be our...

Houston is a team to watch with the Adams injury now. They need to cut like 7M to get under the tax and have a lot of future obligations coming. Wonder what they do to either help save the season or help the long term cap health... or both.

I am going to go on a limb here and say if it happens now its San Antonio or maybe Houston. I think I'd bet on it being an offseason deal with NY though... they can offer a couple picks at that point, one of the wings (to send elsewhere) and KAT. Milwaukee gets to see where they land in the...

I just think he should have always been playing 15 minutes or so a night. At very least the tank would be moving better. I think the other guys have been displayed though... so teams would know what they are getting in KA, Nurk, Love, Svi... if they didn't already know.
