2024 NBA Free Agency Thread

[NUMBERICA]

If you're feeling really saturated you can often kick the can down the road on draft night like the Spurs did with Minnesota. Teams often talk themselves into players on the board and a dollar today can be more valuable for teams than a dollar tomorrow

To what end, though? Is the point to win championships? Cuz that’s hard and you kinda have to do some perilous stuff to get to the mountain top. Also, there’s only so many development opportunities with your own roster. In other words, to stack the deck of actual players, to some degree you probably have to acquire developed players from other teams.

[Thee Jazz Fan]

If this has been posted someplace else I apologize. If we trade Lauri this will be used as the reason. https://bleacherreport.com/articles...ridges-trade-to-entice-star-to-leave-clippers

Wow, if true they really did go big game hunting.

This Jazz rebuild isn't going to be 1 or 2 years. It's going to be 5 years. I can see the Jazz moving Lauri in that context, but that doesn't mean they need to do it this summer.

To my knowledge the jazz in Utah have never done a 5 year rebuild. It’s needed.

What are the rules on extend-and-trade these days? Didn't Cleveland just do this when they traded us Sexton?

No we extended Sexton.

 

[NUMBERICA]

No we extended Sexton.

Again: The Jazz did not extend Sexton. He was a restricted free agent then signed and traded to the Jazz.

Danny Ainge held Paul Pierce throughout the Celtics tank years before trading for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen using the other assets he'd accumulated.

So Drew Eubanks huh? What a surprise!

I think he’s an upgrade from Yurtseven and might (hopefully) teach Kessler how to get tough.

I can probably pitch in a few bucks.

I am willing to start the official GoFundMe to buy the Celtics, then we can force Brad to trade Tatum/Brown to the Jazz for cash considerations
