So one thing... what if trading for AC makes Wallace available in a Lauri trade? I don't think its serious but this does feel like a domino type deal for maybe both of these teams.

Wonder if Bulls get killed on the twitters and media and decide they have to get 150% on trades going forward. Were already gun shy. It does show they kind of want to shuffle things around rather than rebuild. Not that I want to do a Lavine for JCx2 deal... but it seems a bit more plausible given part of the hand they just showed. Would also think Giddey/White is the starting backcourt now... hmmmm.

Bruh it's not happening. DA isn't taking a Lauri deal headlined by Cason Wallace..

I think it more so signals Dort moving in a bigger deal because he is the biggest salary to send out. Caruso immediately steps into that Dort void.

Maybe. Dort is a big part of their culture and they value that a lot.
 
Kessler seems like the perfect amount of investment for the Thunder. They probably don't want to commit starter money to a big and promise him starter minutes with Chet. Kessler is right there on the borderline of starter/bench player and is super cheap. He can be an innings eater during the season and have his role wound down/saved for specific matchups in the playoffs.

I'm aware. Just think one of Dort or Wallace might be slightly more available but maybe not at all. Was gonna put there is a less than 1% chance at it but wonder if they would consider it for an upgrade elsewhere.

Caruso isn't an undersized guard.

Measured barely 6'5 at the two, he absolutely is. Unless you gonna ask SGA to play the two? Caruso has good size for the point but he can't do any of the point guards things. He is not a liability from outside but he's by no means a knock down shooter either.

It's basically a repeat of all the problems we've seen from Dort during the playoffs. It's even worse when you take into account that their best three point shooter Isaiah Joe is also undersized. It's just a bad fit for them all around and will be a nightmare to figure out the rotation for these guys.

After seeing how Presti rolls I am not sure Ainge and Presti could ever talk. Consensus is Bulls fans are pissed right now that they couldn't walk out with one pick. lol.

Ainge: I would like 3 firsts for Kessler

Presti: How's about the bad Williams and a couple seconds

silence, crickets, tumbleweed... dial tone.
