Ehhhh, there's some comparison in that they're both great shooters who can dribble and pass a bit, but Kon is probably the best spotup shooting prospect I've ever seen while I remember Ingles being often way too hesitant to pull the trigger on spot-ups. Kon meanwhile isn't currently close to...

Porzingis, Horford, and Jrue are just way too old.

Also, I don't think that Isaac+Cole even comes close to Lauri money-wise. Isaac's contract gets much smaller next year and I think the trades would be executed based on the 2025-2026 salaries.

I mean, if Tre's stats were good, he would be ranked as a top 25 pick by Pelton, lol. You can just admit his stats are bad, but explainable.

Franz+Lauri+Paolo+Suggs alone brings the Magic to the luxury tax with no rim protection whatsoever and tons of health issues and very little quickness.

This fit is absolutely miserable, but IDK, maybe. The issue again is that the Magic are going to offer the Jazz almost nothing for Lauri. They're going to owe 80% to 85% to Franz, Paolo, and Lauri alone and the ownership is the worst in the NBA and won't go above the tax (121% of the cap).

Krysten Peek compared Jeremiah Fears to Trae Young. .... What Fears is nowhere close to Trae as a shooter or passer.

KD's playstyle absolutely sucks for winning these days, but it's fine if he's replacing Devin Vassell, one of the very few players in the NBA worse than Durant at passing.

It's pretty easy to see that Tre's stats are not actually great when Pelton ranks him (based on his stats) as a fringe first round pick. It's his ability to shoot an elite percentage off every NBA action vs. his poor statistical indicators.

No one ever said sports trade bettors were very smart people. There's probably around 5 total people involved in the "what team will Lauri Markkanen get traded to if he's traded" market.

The Giannis stuff is weird. His supporting cast is absolutely terrible and has no chance of improvement. Guess he just likes the organization.

Yeah, but in the same tier as the other guys talked about in the 3-8 range (except Maluach and Fears who he has lower than Givony)

Vecenie final big board out. He's very high on Penda and very low on Fears and Egor. Otherwise, fairly chalky.

Yeah, the NBA hates Sexton for some reason and he has very little value unfortunately. They think his offense doesn't make up for his terrible defense in playoff matchups so a late first is probably what we can get. The Jazz would probably take back Cole Anthony or KCP.

Pretty sad that the Magic were the team that got to rob the Suns blind for their 2026 first. The Magic traded three really bad seconds to the Suns for the right to super swap between the Wizards and Suns (two of the worst teams in the NBA)

VJ is basically like a smaller clone of Jalen Williams if he hits.

Yeah, some of his stats are stupid good, lol. He and Newell are the guys who put up pretty huge numbers, but you just hate the way they put up numbers (as undersized centers basically)

Gobert tested as one of the ten worst athletes in NBA combine history while Harrison Barnes tested as one of the five best athletes in NBA combine history. Tre not getting steals, rebounds, blocks, free throws, or paint touches is probably a better descriptor of his physical tools. He's like...

No it doesn't make a difference as Siakam and Indiana worked out a max extension before the trade.

Yeah, Cody's completely broken midrange jumpshot actually reminded me most of... SGA coming out of college, lol. But Cody has not managed to fix it so far! And both were just comically thin coming out of college as well. But SGA's handle and feel for the game and motor were just a billion...
