That's why I said he had his quirks. Kelly never took all the 3pt shots he was supposed to, but the fact remains that his skill (both real and perceived) at the perimeter opened up both our spacing and his driving/passing game.
I hope Danny has similar lists prepared. Given the quality of the 2025 draft, the tank battle after the trade deadline will be fierce.
Originated by @KqWIN to give credit where its due, but the trade market is going to be tough/constipated this year. The buyer's don't have many assets and almost no financial flexibility. The Nets have a lot of good stuff to sell, Portland has some stuff too (but don't strike me as a big seller), and I can see the Bulls/NOP selling off some stuff too. I think if you WANT to make a deal and you are DA, you will have to take salvage value in most deals involving JCs, Sexton... or take mid-value for Kessler.
Sure. It's easier said than done to trade any of these players, except Kessler perhaps. Danny probably tried it in the offseason. But I'm pretty sure he'll be at it again before the trade deadline.
For sure. He will make every attempt.
Let's hope so. Our tank needs to be in the best shape possible for the frantic tank battles down the stretch (after the trade deadline).
There won't be any takers.
Lakers would love to get off DLo. He's apparently up to his old antics being toxic in the locker room. They could extend the asset a year by acquiring Collin and fill their bench scorer role. I still think a Kessler+Sexton deal to LA probably makes most sense for both teams. Jazz could just tell DLo to sit at home like they've done with Westbrook (twice).
