Maybe players already know who’s gonna get traded. Deadline is near

I think the trade deadline talk is clearly in the mind of some of our guys. Hardy has alluded to it in his last 2 post game pressers. Even mentioned that he wouldn't "trade" this team for any other a few nights ago.

Team camaraderie definitely seems off the past few games.

- Yeah... all the "magic" is gone. Half the rotation is thinking about getting traded because dangling players is all we heard about even in the middle of the win streak. Ainge or Hardy never came out and said that we're going for the playoffs and that they believe in this group. What we're seeing now is not surprising in the least. The mental state of the team was particularly apparent in how they played defense.

- Walker is 6-17 (35%) from the stripe in his last five games. That takes some doing. I'm not joking when I say that he might have made more free throws with his eyes closed. 6-17 is an incomprehensible level of suckitude.

- Remember when Collins looked like a different player? Getting double-doubles, making 3's, succesfully bodying up other bigs and running back after he misses a shot? Remember those far off days of 2-3 weeks ago?

- Sexton never quit. Props.

- I say again... Lauri is not right. He obviously can't take any hard bumps on D with the right side of his body. His shoulder is probably in much worse shape than we've been led to believe. Not sure why the beat writers don't ask him about it.

- BTW, someone recently wrote that Lauri should be trying to draw more fouls... what we just saw was an example of what happens when he does just that. Instead of going hard to the rack, he resorted to slow pivots in the paint, double-clutching, trying to avoid defenders, putting up flat-footed floaters and screaming "HEY!!!" when he inevitably didn't get the call. I mean yeah, he gets mugged in there. But perceptions matter in the NBA and Lauri is not the type of star that gets those calls on the road. He makes it SO obvious when he's fishing for fouls.

- Some things don't need to be that deep. Maybe Keyonte is simply a very bad shooter in the NBA. If that's the case, we have a problem.

Sexton, Clarkson, KO and Collins. All have recently flown around in the rumor mill, and some of the rumors are the type "we are gauging value" or "we are having discussions"... indicating that we are involved and its not just outside hype.

Albeit Collins is the exception. With him we are more like standing in some street corner asking anyone who passes by whether they might need him.

No link?
Is it Danny Ainge being quoted as gauging value and having discussions or woj or something?

Lakers have internally discussed trading for Sexton (I’m sure a lot of teams have) per McMenamin. Nothing about the Jazz actively looking to trade him.

Knicks are interested in Clarkson per Woj and Begley.

Jazz are willing to move Clarkson, Olynyk, THT for the right price. That’s about all that has been reported.

No. Its the rumor birds. DA or any GM for that matter doesnt really give quotes about specific trades, do they?

I think the closest we've seen to a DA quote is before our good stretch when Andy Larsen said our FO wanted to trade away Collins and that they are open to discuss trades about anyone but Keyonte.
