Twolves & Sac may have to be 3-team trades…Minny was no future assets & Sac still needs to give Fox his Max extension or trade Sabonis. Don’t see it making sense, but would love to get Naz in a 3-way, surely Minny would rather move off KAT (+ Dilly for someone to take that K?),
What's MINN going to offer? Complete ownership of their team? Don't buy that at all. MINN has literally nothing of value to send to Utah unless the price for Lauri is next to nothing (which its not).
Sacramento? I can't see it either. The Kings seem desperate to do a big move, but I don't see how they can compete with GSW and SAS (even we are even actually competing).
So many people looking to feast, Markkanen is going to be very expensive.
What's the most KAT could fetch to do a 3-way deal? Seems like KAT alone can't return enough to land Lauri.
we have the assets to go for two of these types of guys. The second guy would be the all-in guy cause it would require everything we have left after getting someone like Markhannen.
Then we do the same, tbh.
"showing interest" = asking for the price
Ainge is smart and connected enough to use it
As usual with PATFO, nobody knows ...
We don’t need a 3 star super team because Wemby = 2 stars by himself.
No way Utah wants KAT if they're tanking/rebuilding
Too many people look at trading drafts as we're losing something... when in reality we gain the security of knowing Brian Wright can't select any more Primos or Branhams. Trading picks for Lauri is a win-win, in that sense.
The second and third article I saw seemed to be parroting the first re Lauri to Spurs.
We have excess draft capital.
Even if Sacramento had a lot of assets, which they don't, having both Sabonis and Markkanen makes no sense whatsoever.
They either have to move Sabonis or give him a Gordon, like Nuggets did with Jokic.
After making the trade with us, Minnesota is done.
In summer 2025 they'll be almost over the second apron with just Conley, Ant, KAT, Gobert, McDaniels and two current rookies on the roster.
Gobert and KAT no real value because of their contracts, they can only move them in lateral moves with other contenders or salary dump them.
They'll have to choose between keeping McDaniels or Naz, with NAW walking either way.
They better hope Dillingham is the next Iverson or they're ed in a few years.

Found Ainge's burner account
Nah, I see Mark as a real possibility there. Presto is going to use his assets to build the strongest four year window to get a championship. So trading his numerous assets for Mark and then maxing him makes a ton of sense. Right now is the time to do this. Chet and Jdub are on rookie contracts. They will then go into rookie max contracts which aren’t really bad contracts at all. Shai has a few years before he goes into a really high max contract. I have no doubt Presti can handle that easily with a growing cap and lots of assets left over.
‘’Don’t be surprised at all if Okc is Spurs biggest competior. They could offer:
Dieng
Wallace
Kenrich Williams
4 unprotected firsts
2 unprotected pick swaps
4 seconds
and not even bat an eye.
as "Ainge unofficial's spoke person"?
The first tweet in that thread makes it sound like a deal is happening. Then you have Jake Fischer saying the exact opposite. Lots of smoke, especially with the reports of SAC and MIN trying to get in on the action.
It’s not going to happen guys, no chance in you’re giving up all these assets for Markkanen. Go try to get Cam Johnson
No worries. Lauri will turn OKC down by refusing extension. He doesn't want to be their 3rd banana and average only 15 points per game.
If Lauri gets dealt and it's not to us, then I ing hope and pray it is some absurd overpay offer that makes no sense. Because if we goes for a deal that we could have reasonably competed with, I might lose my .
Thing with dealing with someone like Ainge is you need to be patient and not outbid yourself. I think the Spurs have the patience but this place doesn't. Will be fun to watch.
I’m pretty sure we can pony up as many as 12 second round picks if necessary
Foolishness.
If the Spurs really want him, just wait a year when they’ll have boatloads of cap space as well. Keep Castle. Keep Vassell. Keep all the pick.
