Woj says the Jazz are listening to offers for Mitchell

It would depend on what I could spin Herro for. Getting those Suns picks with CP and KD old and an owner that has struggled to have continued success would be much more preferable than the Heat picks.

Simmons is tough though. I think he could be good but also could really prevent a clean rebuild in a few different ways. I think it might be a year or two before teams see him as reliable again. I worry he is completely out mentally and never really loved basketball... but loves attention and money. I just don't know if he poisons the well.

The more I think about it, the more I think Ben is just perfect for where we’re at. He’s a risk…but what is the opportunity cost here? Barrett? Herro? Ben has true star potential. I like getting something more tangible than just picks, and even though he might not want to play basketball again, he has more star potential/equity than a host of picks or either of those players.

If you’re worried about Ben winning you too many games, I’d say that is the least of my worries because he’s been more than happy to sit and Barrett/Herro on their second contracts have just as much potential to middle us out without having the same upside.

I like the Ben Simmons thing. Better premium asset, and potentially better/more picks. The Suns are a great team to deal with if you want picks because they outwardly do not value them, and the bottom could always fall out with Sarver.

The more I think of it the more the human element just makes me feel like I'd pass. I just think we need a clean break and rebuild and having Simmons makes it hard. I'd almost rather have Randle than Simmons... I'd trust Danny to do the right thing.

You’re probably right. I just really don’t want Ayton, which almost makes Simmons attractive by comparison.
 
DM to Sacramento for all of teh Viveks.

From my keyboard to Silver’s ears.
 
Even if the Don to Nets package looks good, I still don’t think NYK gets outbid. I think match/try to match any offer.
 
Even with this flurry of what ifs, I'd still have enjoyed having DM stay and play here. The thing is, where there's smoke, there's fire. Where there's a wall of smoke and orange lights flickering on the horizon off the mountains... there is definitely a forest fire.
I'm having a hard time seeing a scenario where DM stays now after all of this. I'm 99% on this. It's funny to see the Nets back track and say they would be happy to have KD and Kyrie stick around. Yea, right.
