That's what I'm thinking
He's coming here in his prime to play and win for a bigger contract
Don't think he wants to sit and watch

Meh. This doesn't change things one way or another. We still need to field a team. Maybe we find a diamond in the rough. Maybe we don't.

Tank for one year and if we can get lucky with 2023 draft and get the guys we want(3FRPs already and another FRP incoming with the DM trade). Why not start competing in 2024? OKC owns our 2024 FRP after all I know it's top 10 protected but still

6’7”, 40.2% on 3’s….. interessante

Keep DM, trade some of those Miny picks and a couple of players to Brooklyn for KD. Win it all, then blow it up next year.

Lol yes this means the tank is off. This guy is leading us to the play-in game!!!

 

[Hekate]

Oh, he is a fun dude. Much better option than anyone on the SL team.

Wonder how long we'll have to wait for local confirmation on this.

The word was out just a few hours ago that he was headed to the NBA, but all the speculation was on the Lakers. Now we have one report that it's the Jazz (though still in future tense). I'm guessing this report to the Jazz is likely right, but I'll wait for local confirmation before I start figuring out where he fits into the lineup.

How is he on defense?

The timing of this deal is strange to me since any Mitchell deal will entail that we take back a lot more players than we send out so there will be a numbers crunch on roster spots for a short period of time. I would guess that this is an agreed upon deal that may not be signed for a little while until we get a few things sorted out. Personally if it is one or the other I would prefer to have Juancho back rather than signing this guy but hopefully Juancho is still in our future plans. On a tanking team where he can get a decent amount of touches I think he could build some decent trade value.

You want to tank but you don't want complete scrubs out there. You need to field some talent to have a watchable product that can actually be competitive in games they lose.
