Roster Building From Here - FA and Summer of 2023

Trae not even available for reals though. This “report” is they can trade anyone including Trae. Won’t be any discount and in fact would likely need to blow em away a bit or you won’t get him.

I don't really see the Squawks trading Trae. If I'm Utah, I'm seeing if I can pick off some of their younger talent for relatively cheap. If Trae's "available", they're ready for a rebuild/retool.
 
Since we started rebuilding, guys like Locke and Tony Jones have talked a lot about how the Jazz want positional size and length in the starting lineup. I have a hard time seeing them spending a bunch of assets to trade for 6'1 Trae Young.

Sure, everyone wants that, but that doesnt mean they will only take tall/long players.

I would agree... its just Danny though. I really think he chases value... and if that value comes as FVV or Dame... then so be it.

I also think our local guys can trust their sources a bit too much at times. I think with Ainge he is opportunistic so almost nothing would surprise me... so any of us kinda thinking we have a read on what his plans are might be surprised... cuz I'm not sure Danny has a specific plan... more a direction and he takes paths as they appear.

All of this. I have never understood that thinking anyways… if the guy can hoop he can hoop.

Yeah...Ainge is definitely unpredictable. I would hope that we'll be a little bit patient and don't just blow a bunch of assets on the first star that becomes available.

I think its a nice attribute to target (length) but you really have to chase the opportunities. Trae isn't it for me... in part because the price wouldn't be nearly as reasonable as some might think.

that is his other attribute. I have heard Russillo on his pod just say that Ainge is the most patient guy in the room (talking negotiating room). I don't think he forces something. I could see him ponying up for Dejonte Murray or OG without assurance they will re-sign and being comfortable we can get something done. I don't see a bigger target materializing but DA will be in on every call. So if there is something good out there he has the means to strike... and he will know about it.
