Not surprised Masai was fired. Seemed like he was making some desperation moves at the end.

Per KOC ownership felt like Masai was too spread thin with his work in Africa and supposedly the Toronto team culture was very negative
 
Think Masai being let go makes a Lauri->TOR trade more likely. Masai may have been attached to the abomination he created, but fresh eyes are going to want to add some shooting to that roster.
 
I love how we should just "get rid of" Lauri, Clarkson, Sexton and Collins, as if that's somehow easy.

With Lauri's ridiculous deal, role player image and the terrible year he had, there's very few possible landing spots. Maybe none.

The rest of the guys have zero market.

The Ainge tag team needs to be prepared to take some massive L's if they intend to part ways with these four. Just a fact.
 
Even if Jazz can only get second round picks that may be OK
Look at what Austin has done already for second round picks and free agents
He may have found some roster talent in free agents
 
I’ve scoured the contracts and situations, but I just don’t see an obvious trading partner.

Phoenix would probably love to part with Beal, but they wouldn’t need more backcourt players like Sexton and Clarkson with their recent trades.

I don’t think Milwaukee can dump Lillard for his contract because they have to keep Giannis happy.

The Lakers will be active with their expirings (Kleber, and maybe Vincent) and possibly Knecht and/or Milton.

Paul George will be a situation to watch but I think Philly is stubborn enough to keep him and his terrible contract.

In light of drafting Ace and him (desperately) needing people around him that might be able to provide real positive influence/mentorship, we should go get Dame, even if the compensation to take on his contract is slight or maybe even non-existent.

This is the trade that continues to make the most sense. I just need us to get that 2031 first. I think we can finesse it out tho.
 
Sam Vecenie in his draft grades and athletic pod says a number of teams had targeted NOP as they knew they would do something stupid and they wanted to be the team that took advantage. Lol nba GMs are not that much different than us @KqWIN
 
My guesses

Sexton to the Lakers for Gabe Vincent, Maxi Kleber, and two seconds
John Collins to the Grizzlies for KCP and a top 4 protected Magic pick (KCP sent to another team?)
Clarkson maybe waived.
