worthless incompetent garbage front office

give away #8 draft pick (to a conference RIVAL!!!) for nothing

They deserve the benefit of the doubt for a few more weeks tbh. What if they they do Lauri thanks to it...

But if they come up with nothing I'm targetting the local medias even more than PATFO

[barakz21]

Stupid question, and I ask only because I haven’t seen it happen (and if it had, I probably missed it). Is there any chance that a FA agreed to sign with a team during legal tampering period, signs with that team, BUT the signing wasn’t announced during the tampering period? Or rather, is that possible for a signing to be kept under wraps only to be announced once they actually sign?

I’m probably just in denial and holding out hope they had FAs signed but not announced besides CP0.

i would love to be wrong - but this has been years now -

stockpile and stockpile and trade away assets and next draft and tank again and tank once more -

this year you get TWO TOP TEN PICKS! - (im not buying the garbage that this was a weak draft)

and what did they do?
Fulfill the fantasies of a team who had no business even being near the top ten -and a RIVAL -

these clowns

when buzelis and dilly and even knecht go on to have nice rookie seasons - these clowns will be nursing chris pauls hammies

I think it's happened, and we would have missed it if it did because nobody leaked it.

12 minutes in and nothing has happened

[Seventyniner]

Yeah, typo, my bad.

Jazz were at .500 before they shut him down in 22-23 season.

I guess we all have favorites and are subjective when it comes to evaluate players, but I don't see a single actual basketball downside for Markkanen as a second option.
If he goes anywhere else for a reasonable price, I'm going to be ting on PATFO all season long.

Since the Jazz were so much better with Markkanen than without, imo this makes it less likely the Jazz will trade him to GS. The Warriors' 2025-2028 picks won't be all that valuable with Curry still on the team (albeit at the end of his career) and Markkanen making them better. The Warriors will have every reason to stay compe ive if they don't control their own drafts, and their owner doesn't seem like the kind to ever embrace a true tank job.

On the other hand, the Spurs can offer the Jazz picks and swaps from third-party teams, like the Hawks picks and swaps with ATL/BOS/DAL/MIN down the road. Those picks/swaps can end up being great even if the Spurs are a good team themselves.

Markkanen being that good should mean that the Jazz wouldn't want to trade him for the receiving team's own picks if possible. That takes just about everyone out of the running other than the Spurs. Stockpiling picks from multiple other teams for just such an occasion is an interesting strategy, if the Spurs get Markkanen it could be a case of preparation meeting opportunity.

If there is any chance for the Spurs to have some benefit of the doubt on the value of their first rounders, it's now. An extra pick or two looks gaudy and has less value.

Reports said a few days ago that deals are being worked out and tied together into multi-team trades. That's why it takes so long. So I assume we'll see 2-3 mega trades with 4 or more teams involved in it.

Caleb Martin is an idiot...

I agree on the pessimism but let's wait a few weeks

Sure but the outright FA signings shouldn’t have complications

Whoever advised him to turn that down should be fired. Out of a canon. Into the sun.

[LeBowen]

WHAT NOW!?!?

OUR PLANS HAVE BEEN THWARTED.

[Pauleta14]

Someone explain pls

In exchange of what??

Getting to $28.9 mil would allow SA to absorb one of Harrison Barnes or Kevin Huerter into cap space, then have enough to sign Chris Paul.

[Robz4000]

Harrison Barnes it is

Yeah, as I wrote earlier Markkanen isn't off the table with salary match trade.

I just didn't think Bulls wouldn't accept Graham's $2M cap hit after waivers.
SRP wasted!

makes sense

Things are moving. I would guess the SAC-CHI trade is all but done at this point, although it sounds like Demar is going to Sacramento to talk first?

Question:

Who's the preference, if there's a choice? Huerter or Barnes? Both have strengths.

Picks hopefully
