The players they have are slightly better fits positionally and they also received pretty good draft capital for them.
Well we have one more pick and another swap now.

Not just any pick and swap.
Jazz already owns three TWolves FRPs, might aswell add another one.

Sources: Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith is declining his $5.4 million player option and will enter unrestricted free agency, Hoopshype
has learned. Smith shot a career-high 59.2 percent from the field and 42.4 percent from 3-point range for the Pacers last season.
START BANGING THAT DRUM exstatic
Interesting to see Grimes to go DAL as a throw in on the Hardaway Jr. dump. I like him as a flyer on a potential bench scorer. Would have been game to throw an SRP away for him and challenge Branham. Oh well.
What’s the deal with the Graham contract again? Basically we have to use it here soon right, unless they just want to waive him?
And if they did how much could they take back in a lopsided trade? Like could the take back a 20M contract?
How much would be ready to pay for him?
Bare in mind Okc prob also wants him and can offer load of picks too
I think his salary becomes fully guaranteed on 7/1
I would imagine the Jazz would love the Hawk picks because Wemby/Lauri picks aren't worth much. Also doubt the FO does this deal unless they are very confident they can extend Lauri now or next summer.
If I am Ainge I ask for all the Hawks picks, the most favorable pick of the 2030 swaps and Sochan.
Before people start complaining you're not getting Lauri without surrendering premium assets because future Spurs first rounders carry less value because of Wemby/Lauri.
If you prefer to better preserve future draft capitol you'll have to part with Dev. Cant have it both ways.
Unpopular reminder that every team Markkanen played for got better after he left.
Mainly because he gives up as much as he gets. I know, I know, "We can fix him."
I agree
He'd be way too expensive and wouldn't match the timing. He's for a win now team
Also, we can find our Lauri in the 25' draft
I just wanted to know what some would be ok to pay to get him now
cleveland was playing him out of position at SF and its not like he just left and they magically got better, they also received donovan mitc
ATL ready for a rebuild??

The Toronto Raptors are picking up the $23 million option on guard Bruce Brown’s contract, sources tell ESPN. Brown will be a valuable trade asset on an expiring contract for the Raptors.

Brown's agents Ty Sullivan and Steven Heumann of
@CAA_Basketball
negotiated the 2-year, $45M deal with Indiana before it landed in the Pascal Siakam trade. Raps picking up option gets Brown deal's full value and now it likely becomes part of a trade this summer or during season.
Lets just get Trae. Atlanta wont blow it up without getting their own picks back.
Defensive On/Off Numbers since joining the Jazz playing at PF/C
2023
On the court: 115.6
Off the court: 119.4
2024
On the court:119.8
Off the court: 121.8
Biggest worry for Lauri is that as he ages he might not be playable on defense as a PF out on the perimeter.
Yeah, they got an actually compe ive player.
How would yall feel about this:
DET Gets: Lavine + CHI Pick owed to SA (top 10 protected 25, top 8 in 26 & 27) + 2 2nds from CHI
CHI Gets: THJ
Spurs Get: Ayo Dosunmu
CHI gets off Lavine without having to give up another first they don’t already owe but that costs them 2 2nds + Ayo
DET gets 2 more 2nds + a shot at a top 10 pick from CHI
SA give ups CHI first for Ayo who has very good potential. Not sure if any of these teams do this �� but it makes some sense.
Wonder if it would be something like Keldon + Tre + CHI first for Herro?
Really believe they want to get rid of Trae so, so badly. He's just a loser. His performance in the play-in game this year was eye-poppingly bad. That's a player you can't move forward with. That was terminal .
I'm sure they saw what Mikal Bridges got and got a chubby. Hopefully someone like LAL will go for him.
Hard pass
He's not a good defender, but he's not terrible, either.
Don't forget John Collins was their starting center.
To me he's as good of a fit with Wemby as it gets.
How are you supposed to guard a Wemby team that has another 7 footer who's one of the best shooters in the league?
If Castle develops according to expectations and Spurs can get another elite 3-D guy, Herb Jones type, that's all we need, imo.
Devin-Lauri-Wemby trio would have more than enough points between them.
My bet is on Orlando. They're as good of a fit for Trae as it gets.
Lakers don't have enough assets, others aren't really interested.
PJ Tucker has exercised his $11.5 million player option for the 2024-25 season, per ShamsCharania
.
Would Bruce Brown make sense if Toronto wants to dump him for a few 2s? Oddly enough, I think he’d make a great mentor for both Castle and Ingram. Castle is far more talented, and Ingram is just the opposite, but they can both stylisticaly do similar things as Brown as connective pieces and defenders.
