Off-Season Rumblings

Yeah they read our discussion and just figured to skip the Jazz as a middle man.

Wait what

Caruso got traded for Giddey.

 

[Coach Ellis]

John Collins would have to be moved for an OG signing. Lauri R+E is happening 100%. Dumping Clarkson doesn’t give us enough to give OG the max.

I actually wonder if a FVV style deal would be enough to persuade him. Give OG the max for 3 years? It could work. I think he’d likely choose PHI over us.

If he chooses us, we could send John Collins back to New York. Otherwise OKC would be the top salary dump location IMO.

Is OG worth the big bucks over someone like Lavine?

Jazz should’ve learned their lesson with Favors. Stop dumping guys for assets. Suck it up and figure something else out. John Collins off the bench is better than dumping Collins and having to attach picks to the deal.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I mean we didn't have the two extra picks we are using this year before the trade deadline and we used last year's picks pretty well. They have more value now than they did as picks. Not sure what you mean by less options. . .

Trading Olynyk was fine, but I’d still rather have Fontecchio for what came back. Think that was a missed opportunity.

Shocked the Bulls made a smart trade

How is that a smart trade? Caruso for Giddey straight up? All those firsts and seconds OKC has and Chicago came away with not a single pick. This was a great trade for OKC.

I think it was a win win for both. Giddey has the potential to be a solid longterm piece for them and Caruso was a perfect pending free agent.

The Philly deal would have to be like cap space for Lavine. I would think the #11 pick would have to be involved there. At very least a swap and trade back to 16. Wonder if its an either/or with Utah/Philly or a three way scenario.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Ainge is a collector, he just can't help getting in on any deal involving a defensively limited guard on a deal.

Man. What an absolute dump truck of sun-baked used diapers picking up Miles Bridges and Lavine would be for our off-season.

This is how you know it’s true.
