I assume that was a joke, but I'll bite. Most larger tournaments are on https://www.ballertv.com/
Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Oh, more trades are bound to happen. I cannot imagine we enter the season with this roster.

We're at 17 players (I think). A consolidation trade will happen.

I’m over the moon that we gave the Knicks the finger. Was kind of hoping we would do a deal with Washington or Orlando. Not sure the picks from Cleveland will amount to much. If Cleveland can keep their core young players and Mitchell buys in, they’re going to be very good for a long time. Kind of think Agbaji was the prize here. Not that excited about Lauri, or Sexton, but I’m fine with giving them lots of minutes and flipping them for more value down the road. Excited to see where the rest of the Jazz vets land, and how much we get back.

Nope. Jazz can still give them a haul for those two picks.
The players I think should stay along with who I think probably will stay even if I don't necessarily agree with it are:
In no particular order.
Sexton
Markkanen
Agbaji
Beasley
Azubuike
Bolmaro
Fonteccio
Horton-Tucker
Juzang
Kessler
Vanderbilt
Johnson
Sneed
It't too early to tell though. We have to take on players when getting rid of who we need to get rid of. We will have to dump some players. Way to early to know who we will have left to know who might be on our roster at the start of camp.
With doing zero research and being completely lazy, I think the ones in bold are my best guess right now at the core for now. I'll probably watch some video and see how right or wrong I am. People used to hype up Stanley Johnson a lot, did he end up being good or fools gold?

Pretty clear that this is the Ainge response to the Rose power move. I actuality like the RJ + 2 protected and 3 protected picks better (assuming one of the unprotected picks was 2026 or later).
Sure, it just seemed to me that a superfluous protected pick in the near future or Knicks rookie scale guy (cuz we don't have any worth a damn) would clinch it. I'm a little more worried now that the Jazz can't get all the way to two unprotected picks.
So I will instead hope that they can negotiate "down" to '27/'29 swaps and '28 unprotected.
Yeah... that is probably a better offer in the end. But maybe there is value in signaling to the rest of the league that Ainge doesn't bluff.

As far as we know Don is good with teammates. He also know he wasn't with Rudy. Was that cause Rudy's a dork, or cause he called out Mitchell for not giving defensive effort and ballhogging.
After the honeymoon, will Don create more drama? Diva Don is his nickname for a reason.
