For what Top 10 guy? Jalen Brown isn't top 10. The Article is of course B.S just an aggregation of something MacMahon mentioned on the POD. I wonder what their package for Lauri will look like.
Report: Rockets may trade Sengun...Jazz interest?

Did you listen to the pod? How was it a BS version of what he said? And like I said I have no idea. Actually don't even think there is a clear top 10 currently.
Just brought up Brown because of the Boston connection and they will be a team under financial burden. Agree he isn't too 10, but maybe the coach thinks there is more.

Brooklyn would have to be pretty confident in a Donovan move to trade the last of it's assets (Phoenix/Philly firsts) for Lauri to have a core of Mikal/Lauri. Great second and third options with super role players in DFS/Claxton/etc, but that team would need an engine.
Houston jumping to #1 with the Brooklyn pick and trading for Lauri is probably the best case scenario for a full rebuild if we go that route I think
Hell no.

I don’t think Brooklyn would actually do it but the Phx and Philly picks they have are decently valuable. I think it would likely be OKC or Houston and yes Houston getting a top 4 pick would likely be a big factor. But like I told @Elizah Huge on our pod… I want a lot. So whatever you think is “fair” add like 30-50%. So I’d want a top 4 pick, Jabari Smith and another Brooklyn pick. Maybe sub in Green but I still think there is some fools gold there.
Because the article made it seem like he was reporting something with insider information, when that wasn't the case. They discuss and throw out ideas on the POD all the time. They are usually mindful about what they say to avoid aggregation when having casual podcast conversations.
So what was said?

Thunder is the team that keeps getting mentioned. They are already close to rebuilt and they have the picks to trade for a star.

And I think you could play both teams against each other if they were interested.

I would take 4 picks from any of the 3 teams for Lauri. Statistically, picks represents the best route for the Jazz to make a championship run... period.
Also, I think we should hire the best draft analysts in the biz from Miami, OKC, and anyone else who wants a prime spot for a decade helping launch their careers as draft gurus.

He’s the next Sabonis. I say go all in. If you want to keep Markkanen and get everything out of him. Then we need to stop on this this offseason!!
I listened to the actual pod where this was brought up.
Tim brought up the Rockets have played better without Sengun, specifically Amen and Green. There's more room to drive without Sengun using the ball so much and the defense has improved (also mentioned it's been was a relatively soft schedule). Also said the Rockets seem to be most high on Amen. He didnt say the Rockets are looking to trade Sengun or Green, but he did say GM's are starting to circle and look at the situation and that the Rockets do want to make more splashes to improve the roster and arent interested in continuing to add young talent.
MacMahon also brought up the fact that the Rockets thought they were going to get Brook Lopez and that a defensive first center fits Udoka's mindset more, which is another reason why there is some speculation they might deal Sengun for a star.
Probably not remembering every bit on context because I listened to it yesterday, but that's what I remember.
