Even at that, if they ever knew It was about facilitating getting Luka to the Lakers, I wonder what was the reasoning to do for a couple of seconds and taking a younger player that by It's NBA trajectory is a salary dump, not someone we should expect a second contract. "If we break this to the...

Two swaps, 26 and 28. Tho 26 won't be used.

I'd hope him being better than them in staying in Utah

Yeah, in that sense I'm kinda a bit more worried about the whole ankle dislocation. It's complicated because there could be so much different ways that injuries can play out (different ligaments and tissues damaged, different bones to break, different points of fracture in the same bone, etc)...

Sometimes you just get horrible luck with injury mechanisms. In this case It looked like he slipped, lost balance, then fell over his own foot.

The only way for a player to be a must in a trade conversation is for him to be some basketball messiah ?

I remember reading in the past about the Exhibit 10 being used as a way to get players into the Stars

It does, but at this point 3 months might be something like grade 1 ankle sprain in Exum's recovery scale.

What I can safely answer about this is Not If Juzang was the shooter

As far as what I could read of Cy's post, he didn't mention that Markkanen on ball creation nears someone like Kawhi Leonard, Lebron James, Kevin Durant or even a healthy Zion Williamson, nor that Flagg gonna be this good at that as these guys, either out of the gate, or at his peak. What I...

I'll be waiting to see If the initial lineup stays the same for this one. Also maybe I'll actually watch this one, unlike the first preseason game, so may be interesting seeing the players against decent NBA competition and which lineups other than the starting one Hardy gonna throw out there.

If the Wolves were to trade Randle, they would lose Nas Reid scoring punch off the bench (or Donte). And still is a thing of throughout lineups, depth, etc. I actually think It's funny that what concerns you the most in that trade scenario is "the Wolves doesn't need another scorer that can...

Donte is a very nice player, but If they were to trade away from Randle, I believe they would (or should) want another offense initiator, even If an off the bench one.

Even more in a world that they trade away Randle, a bench scorer as Powell would make a lot of sense to the Wolves. I was surprised to read that, but It seems ESPN reports that Terrance Mann somehow is trade available. A package with both would make sense to me, another offense initiator off...

I have the Clippers as the team that makes the most sense to be calling Wolves to take Randle. As they're trying to win games, It makes way very little sense to target Collins, even as a desperate move.

I don't disagree with that, but I still fear that mindset about the whole "capture the Flagg" (nice name you coined) game.

Still think It's more likely that Collins starts at center with Hendricks as PF than he being paired again with Kessler.

I think this can make both better, but it's the Wolves job now to get rid of Randle

Man, I forgot the player option, that contract is even worse considering the risk of another year But I think the natural move for the Wolves is taking anything from a desperate franchise such as the Warriors, Suns, Lakers, Clippers for Randle. Something like a Hachimura, Gabe Vincent and a 2nd.

The worst I could see that going for them is Randle tanking their locker room, but they can simply waive him. Still think the most logical path for them is to trade Randle and start Naz Reid.
