OKC is also going to have to make some decisions on who they pay. Cason Wallace would be awesome, but we're probably going to get fleeced in any kind of transaction with OKC.

Ideally we draft Peterson. I guess Ace could move to the 2 if we got Dybantsa or Boozer. I don't see how we get him, but I would still love Amen Thompson on the Jazz.

No idea.... I do think there is like a 30% chance maybe that Walker is not back.

I could see Ayo/Ellis if its a FA type addition. I could see Peterson/AJ if its a draft addition. I could also see a trade for Trae/Zion/Ball maybe shake things up.

I could also see a stopgap like Norman Powell, CJ McCollum in the vet mode. Zach Lavine if the Kings get desperate to dump him and give us something.

I guess I am most certain about Ace being here and then Lauri but I could see a move there too maybe. I think there are far too many balls in the air. Ace is pretty flexible positionally so I am not sure we are putting the finishing touches on something here.

Tounde is awful.

Oh I love him. Not top 8, but if we somehow drafted in the teens with some draft day trade shenanigans, think he's great value there. Projects as a nightmare defensively.

Cameron Carr's a better defender imo.

I'd also take Coen Carr over him if you want to draft a defensive specialist.

Eason has been my wet dream for a while. He is tge perfect fit.

What is am curious is who is going to round out the roster.

I think Collier and Sensabaugh are NBA talents.
Nurkic has good back up center potential but is already 31.
Filipowski has bench potential.
I want to believe in WCJ but I don't think he wants to be here.
I want to believe in Hendricks.

I guess a Nate Ament would fit in that group. Can't seem to believe the Jazz will get a top 3 pick so.

I like Quintance or Cenac off the bench next to Kyle.

What archetype do we think we need? I think that's the better question. Then refine the list from there. I personally think if we are to have a championship team then we need another wing. One that brings a lot of gravity with him and that plays defense too. I think he needs to be a star imho because Lauri as the third scoring option is legit (AJ Dyabantsa if we tank more?, a younger jimmy butler?) Obviously this is a much harder player archetype to get being an all star go to wing. But that's what championship teams have.

If Ace becomes that guy (which he might) then a defensive juggernaut, switchable defending 3 and d guy might be the fit due to Lauri and Key's defensive deficiencies. (Dort?)
