Herro Rumors

[Flc]

And If we're really looking to compete this year (which I guess wouldn't be only to convey our 2024 pick to OKC at a perceived weaker draft, but also to impress Markkanen to sign a new contract, as showing a franchise that should be back to contention while he's still in his prime, not one that should start to be actually good only in 4 years time) without a clear established playmaker, and our forward/center rotation including Collins, Kessler and yet to be established players, you're really looking to keep Olynyk at least for this season for both his passing, shooting and veteran savviness.

Markkanen is signing the extension even if we go 0-82.

We have more assets than we can use. Similar to OKC, who has been combining first round picks to move up a couple of slots.

No such thing as too many assets… they are all years out too… no reason to burn them for nothing. OKC used some of their lesser picks to get a late lotto pick a year ago.

That said I’m fine with putting a pick into the Herro deal if DA feels it’s a good use… but don’t touch the 2025 picks.

Gotta keep all our Cooper Flagg lotto tickets…

There was enough attention around him for that he'd be on the radar for bigger markets If he wanna test free agency once his contract is up, especially If he's able to repeat the level of success he had last season.

If we're willing to go on a route that points around being able to start being competitive around Agbaji, Kessler, George and Hendricks second contracts and not his prime, i'd say it's only normal for him to look to move on instead of only looking for postseason success when getting to his thirties.

Looks like the person who said Jazz would give up a pick with tht/Sexton is a known person who just makes stuff up

He told Ainge he loved the Jazz and asked if he was safe to buy a house. He then bought that house. Then there were media reports that his intentions are to sign a long-term contract in Utah. And I haven’t even brought up how agents are reacting to the new CBA.

He’s signing.

Surprising… they have almost 69k followers on Twitter which isn’t nothing.

 

[Park Bites]

Clarkson, George, Dunn
Herro, Agbaji, Wainright
Markkanen, Fontecchio, sensabaugh
Collins, Hendricks, Samanic
Kessler, Olynyk, Yurtseven

I can live with that roster. Sexton is one of my current favorite players so it hurts but I like that roster

We have more assets than we can use.

Six first rounders in the next 3 years?

Two will probably pan out.

Some may be parlayed of course.

We have 4 in the next 3 years (3 of which come in 2025), and then 7 in the following 3 years (4 in 2027, 1 in 2028, 3 in 2029).

Theoretically we could have 1 extra FRP if the one we owe to OKC doesnt convey, but that would require next 3 years of our own pick landing in top 8-10.

Swaps are in 2026 (best of UTA, MIN and CLE) and 2028 (better of UTA and CLE).

I disagree

Yup, at some point you find yourself trading 3 first to draft Osumaine Dieng.

I find hoarding the picks really really stupid.

That being said, you obviously can't be willy-nilly. There's really no way of knowing the "optimal" usage of the picks.
