I voted Burks. Not because I think he will actually be the leader, but I think he has the potential to be. A healthy Burks is easily the best offensive player on the team. No one can get to the basket or to the line like he does. With Gordon out, will this finally be the season that Burks does...

Barnes is highly overrated. He was supposed to be the best player in college basketball at UNC and the number 1 pick in the draft and he was neither. I think he will end up being a #2 option on a #1's salary on a non-playoff team that continues to be a non-playoff team (eg Sacramento).

Yes. Carroll played great in ATL with Coach Q and DMC credits CQS with improving his overall game. He is a strong defensive player, a great lockeroom guy, and an above average 3PT shooter. He seemed to like his time in Utah and was a crowd favorite. I think he could be a 6th Man of the Year...

I voted for Poetl, but I had a brain fart and was meaning to put Sabonis who is not listed. So I really vote other. I think pairing Sabonis at PF with Big KAT at center would make Timberwolves as very strong team for the future.

Unless it was a Top 5-10 free agent, I would rather the Jazz not sign someone at an inflated rate this summer on a long-term and instead wait until next summer when other teams have blew this increased cap space by signing guys like Jared Dudley for $10m+ a season. If they do, next season Utah...

Utah trades Alec Burks, #12, #60 to Toronto for DeMarre Carroll and #9. Carroll wasn't the difference maker that Toronto hoped for. He brought defense, but was injured a lot and didn't get into the offensive flow. He needs a system with less one-on-one and more passing. Coach Q knows how to...

Rondo to Houston. Book it.

Would rather have 2 seconds than the #26. Maybe Boston would do #31 & #45 for #26?

Would 100% be open to seeing Wade in a Jazz Jersey, but I don't see him leaving Miami and if he did it would be to go to a Top 3, championship ready team. Could you imagine OKC with Russell, Durant, and Wade??? That might even be better than Miami's OG Big Three.

Because of cap possibilities I think there will be lots of trades.

I think Minnesota, Milwaukee or Sacramento makes a run at Rose, as long as they don't have to give up much. Chicago should fire sale him, re-sign Paul Gasol and build around Jimmy Butler. Maybe sign and trade of Rondo for Rose with Sac? That said, if Lindsey can do one of his salary cap for...

I think that is a lot to give up for Covington. And if sixers need shooters around Simmons, why would they give up Covington? I think that part is flawed.

I would take Rose on an expiring deal but I wouldn't give the Bulls much more than Burke, 1 lottery-protected pick, and cap room.

Problem with OKC is that they played great team ball for 2.5 series and then Durant reverted to bad habits of hero ball and started jacking up contested off balance shots instead of finding the open teammate out of the double or triple team.

I think their might be some better, higher-upside projects at #12 (eg. Thon Maker), but Valentine does have the potential to play right away. I like that he has worked hard, gotten better every year, and nothing has been handed to him. He went from barely playing for two seasons at MSU to being...
