Keegan Murray could be considered a second draft guy but they’ve been very resistant to trading him. We need to deal with the Kings one way or another. Maybe that’s a Lauri mid season deal.

I think you need to basically be borderline all star level to get past the full MLE level and get paid like starters. Nobody wants this archetype and it’s an extremely easy role to fill. I think Monk is pretty much the peak of this 6MOY/Borderline starter level, but that still likely only...

IMO, even the very best "6MOY" scoring/no defense types will struggle to get the full MLE. So if you're above that (i.e. Monk/Sexton) you have no value.

Yes he's 100% negative.

You could include the RFA holdouts into this discussion. I’m still interested in how this Kuminga situation shakes out. I’m kind of surprised that there was zero smoke about him with the Jazz, he seems to be exactly Ainge’s type. There are definitely some similarities between he and Ace, on and...

This off season has shown that if you wanted a player like Collins/Sexton, you could pretty much get them for free. I get the idea behind the quick pivot, but realistically Lauri was the only hard one to replace and you could argue it's not really that difficult to get a player of Lauri's...

Just based on what people seem to say about these prospects, seems like Boozer fits my type of prospect. Not as flashy, not as (vertically) athletic, but extremely productive.

Yeah I don't know how he could possibly drop that low based on his. Injury or not, I thought his play was fine. The Kings are not a logical franchise, however, and it seems like their focus is WB. If they bring in WB and keep Monk, they'll have no minutes for him and he'll just rot away. I...

I wonder what the deal is with Devin Carter. I don't think his value would have dropped off to the point where he's nothing, and if it did you would think there is at least one team willing to take a flier on him. Does SAC have an asking price, or are they trying to give him away and not getting...

I definitely have had gripes with @Tony Jones , but fans also got to recognize that their fandom is not an actual source either lol. I love following the draft, but the thing that annoyed me the most were people taking everything from a stan/fan perspective. People get way to...

I don't think Lauri has too much trade value right now. Tbh, I think DA fumbled the Lauri situation really badly and it's been a bad outcome for both parties. It's a clear case of when being a stubborn and greedy negotiator bites you in the ***.

The point of my post was to say that if the TWolves are signing an extremely similar player to Dillingham, they probably don’t have much confidence in him to seize that role. On top of that, this is the role/player type that is most easily filled and least valuable in the NBA.

I don't think he is either and neither are all the guys listed. But I outlined some scenarios in my earlier post that could cause some tension in the extension process. There's no runway for him to be a starter, and what's probably best for him is to play for his next contract on a team where he...

Tari Eason: A beast on the box score while also being a +/- god in APM metrics. I think he has the potential to be as good as JJJ.

Besides the dumpster bin guys, I think Tari Eason's contract extension is one to watch. If there's a potential star hiding in plain sight I think it would be him, his analytics are off the charts and he could potentially have an even greater offensive role. The Rockets have already traded for...

I think the Jazz are a great destination for second draft guys, the one thing we'll have a lot of is opportunity. Of that list, the guys I like most are Black and Carter. Carter we might be able to get for free. The only player I'm against adding on that list is Ivey, who I don't think is a...

I expect some of that, but I also think he will have improved (using rookie season as comparison). If TH establishes himself as an NBA caliber player this year, you could argue that makes the biggest improvement for the franchise. There are honestly so many ways to define "most improved". Cody...

From his rookie season? I think he will be improved. You can never really know the extent of injuries, but gap years for young players seem to lead to development regularly. I expect him to be better, but Cody would be my pick for the most improved given how low his starting point is. If you...

Could be the case that the Hendricks injury is extra bad, but several young players have come back from a major injury better than they were before. For example, there are a lot of "rookies" who missed their first season but came back a better player because they were able to improve their...

Prime AK47 was an incredible player:
