I really like Jarace...he plays D and can shoot from deep... there's no way I'd trade a first this year for him though... Sochan for Jarace, sure, but not 1sts in 25
Can you tell me about Jarace Walker? I never really followed him that closely during the draft but I know a lot of people were very high on him. I've seen him brought up as a trade target around here now and then - what's his selling point and what's his value? Like is he worth a non top 4 2025 lottery pick? Something like a mid first rounder in this year's draft? Or were you thinking of getting him with some salary and a few seconds?

My thoughts very much echo Mo's above me. Big body, plays good d, has the kind of body that in theory should be a good rebounder, but most importantly can shoot.
Also like Mo, I'd look at it more as a Sochan-for-Walker swap, I wouldn't give up any picks, especially not at this juncture. I wouldn't even necessarily do a Sochan for Walker swap, maybe more like a deal where IND is getting Cam Johnson and we could route Keldon or Sochan to BKN and get Walker if they didn't want him (though I'm not sure why BKN would do this unless we were attaching picks, which I wouldn't do).
I like Nesmith more than Walker, personally.
Surely the Spurs have called Dallas. Blake Wesley plays better defense than Kyrie, and defense wins championships.
I wouldn't mind taking Gafford off their hands, as long as they're doing the whole ruining their franchise bit.
Herb Jones, the best defender in the league on a team primed to be sellers.
Been saying KD is my #1 target on this team all year. Desperately need his size and scoring/shooting on the wing. Make it happen PATFO!
Yeah, give up more draft capital for a 36 year old.
Obv I'm not giving up the farm for him, but you act like KD isn't still averaging 27/6/4/1 on 53/41/83 shooting splits. This dude is a legitimate All-Star caliber player at 36. Would instantly take this team to another level.
KD makes a ton of sense for HOU too if they're willing to trade some of their younger players + picks in a win-now move.
Well, he hasn't taken Phoenix to another level unless you're impressed with a 25-23 record and he's playing with two outstanding scorers in Beal and Booker. His defensive rating is 116, the worst of his career.
Yea his defense has definitely regressed this year with his age and he's not a #1 option anymore like he's being asked/paid to be in PHX. That entire roster is terrible defensively though and they have no rim protection at all. The Booker/Beal/KD experiment has been an objective failure and they really need to blow it up to recoup some of that draft capital they traded to acquire all those guys.
But KD as a #2 or #3 beside Wemby and Fox would be really solid for a couple more years imo, at least offensively, and would help bridge the gap to help guys like Devin and Jeremy develop . Would all depend on the asking price though cause I'm definitely not giving up the ATL picks to make it happen, and they're likely not trading KD without those pick(s) attached. PHX can likely find a more desperate team in win-now mode like HOU to give up more assets unless they're shopping Booker too, in which case I think HOU would be more interested in him.
As a short term hole filler (who we might be interested in longer term), Chris Boucher (currently with TOR). He's an expiring, and at 32 doesn't feature in their future plans. He's on $10.8M; cap wise, we could trade Branham +a vet min (maybe sign someone; we can't use McLaughlin as he can't be aggregated) for him. Could get it done for a second or two....
We need more vets; our bbiq is very low! Dudes are nutting the up with any applied ball pressure!
john collins has been so good this year. wish we had bought low when he coulda been had for SRPs
Just say NO to Nurkic. He was a cancer in the best of times, and now that he's washed he's even worse.
John Collins would be very useful. Barnes and Sochan or Keldon and Sochan work with the money. Don't know that Utah cares about those guys or what else would be needed.
Gimme KD and we ring this year tbh. KJ+ Vassell and 2 FRPs and the Dallas swap. with what star players are going for nowadays I think m maybe one FRP
Tbh OKC should trade for him and ring this year too. But they won’t and will flame out in the playoffs again bc Shay isn’t meant for the playoffs
I'm not expecting much deals done before the last day when sellers will have to lower their demands.
I can see a crazy Thursday coming
How reliable is Evan Townsend, he just tweeted something that we're going for Cam
Netspress mentioned it on Insta

Also Sam Vecenie mentioned it about a week ago.
Most reports are saying Keldon + swap 25 worst of SAS/ATL with BKN via MIL + SAS 29 FRP.
I wonder if the Nets would do Vassell + swapping the worst of SAS/ATL ‘25 with the Nets ‘25 via Bucks (likely to be around pick 20) + multiple seconds. They would have to be stupid and not realise Vassell is a negative asset which I think they’re smarter than that.
i hope they do it...Move on from this current roster.Would send a message imo,That they aint good enough and we want
to win and not wait for anybody.Either step up or gtfo.
We are not going to win with Durant. We are the 12th seed currently. We have no backup big. We have no chemistry with Fox and in this Durant scenario.Gimme KD and we ring this year tbh. KJ+ Vassell and 2 FRPs and the Dallas swap. with what star players are going for nowadays I think m maybe one FRP
Tbh OKC should trade for him and ring this year too. But they won’t and will flame out in the playoffs again bc Shay isn’t meant for the playoffs
kings are dealing with the same problems we have.Yet they are shooting for the playoffs.Fox choose us cause he felt more confidense
with us trying to win.Would make us look bad imo.Kings also good a new look piece and not making excuses for trying to win.
Because Kings making the playoffs as Sabonis as your best player is kinda their limit. Winning a series is their real goal. Their timeline is really now, and their ceiling is low.
