Roster Building From Here - FA and Summer of 2023

[YoungJefe]

@NUMBERICA was right about Reaves, Hill Billy Kobe is nice af.
Sign him and draft Gradey D!ck

D!ck, Kessler, Lauri, and HBK would be the 4 horseman of the apocalypse

I read Blazers real GM board Damian Lillard has made very clear to Blazers he doesn't want to stay if Blazers go rebuild.
Should Danny Ainge try a trade for Lillard if he comes available and does Jazz have assets on that without giving Lauri?

The Jazz definitely have the assets. I'm not sure how Ainge would feel about trading for Dame given his age and contract, but it's definitely interesting to think about. Dame and Lauri would be quite the duo.

If we don’t draft Hendo we should really try and steal Naz in FA.

I still wouldn't want Dame right now, not unless we could restructure his contract for less of a cap hit or something, idk. He is going to take way too much of the cap right when we need to be loading up. Look how the Blazers have loaded up around him, on paper that should be a top 4 team in the west easily, yet they are looking at the play-in yet again. Not sure how he helps as he starts to be a declining asset taking up an ungodly amount of the cap right when we need to be peaking in 2-3 years. So unless he agrees to end his contract and sign for less then no way.

Sorry but his name is Mayo Mamba

BTW, we have some problems with trading for a star:
-DA already has a stink on him
-Part of the asking price is not just what the other team receives, but also what the cost is to the sending team. In other words, those with more are expected to pay more

You know what altogether removes those issues? Drafting well.

 

[fishonjazz]

Im hoping the jazz draft well

Luka is Ainge’s target. He’s just waiting to pounce for the right time.

 

[SoberasHotRod]

Yeah, when the comment was made about monitoring the Luka situation it seemed fantastical. Now I'm starting to wonder if Ainge knows something. I still don't quite believe it will ever happen, but I'm getting a sliver of wonder.

I think the odds are like 90% Luka is gone in the next 3 years.

The Mavs have really messed things up. The idea of him leaving isn't crazy, but the idea of him coming here seems like fantasy, but I don't know, maybe not.
