The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

[KqWIN]

Would you rather have Christian Braun or Keegan Murray?

Mid off….jk Braun is alright.

As a big VJ fan at the draft, not sure I’m loving the way he’s been playing in SL and preseason despite “good” numbers.

One last thing here. Our tank goals are now directly opposed to Walker's goals for the season. Imagine him playing really well and it messes up the tank... plays so well a team offers like 35-40M per on a 3+1. So you missed out on cheaper Walker contract AND effed the tank.

Only thing that really makes sense with how we handled this is we end up moving him in season and you'll hear about how that was the plan all along.

I think Lauri and Tre would make a really good tandem. I also covet the Pelicans pick. If Lauri dominates and they offered that pick plus filler, I would be good with a 2 x 1sts for Lauri deal.

Say something like...

 

[The Jazz Wonderbra]

I am bullish on Lauri. I expect a great season. He is a better fit next to tre than Porzingis for sure. Onyeka's deal is no bueno. And the Hawks probably hold out for Giannis first of course.

But having 2 top 10 picks in this year's draft would be phenomenal.

No extension for Eason. So there will be another RFA on the market.

I see nothing here that tells me soneone is backing up the truck for Walker. Lakers will always blow whatever they have on a washed up "name" player. Kessler isnt selling any luxury suites.

You are right. The Lakers have never shown any interest in Walker... oh wait.

Wiz, Nets, and Bulls also could easily have interest. Wiz have so much space they can offer Walker and wait.

The FA list is not very big. We should not brush off the potential of an offer or threatened offer that increases Walker's price.

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

I expect the Lakers to give Kessler a 3/90 offer sheet where year 3 is an TO fwiw.

Jazz offer 4 at 28 and win. A young player would be foolish to sign for only 3 years.

Lakers liked Kessler when they thought they could dump their trash on us. Cap room opens up the possibilities of trades for the Lakers. We will see if Walker is at the top of their list then.
