I don’t disagree, but in the context of Markannen: Vassell has played 6 more games than Markannen in the past 4 years.
I’m a big fan of Dev’s, think he’s a perfect 2 guard for a team wanting to contend, but he’s gotta stay healthy. These weird injuries that he gets each year is troubling for such a young player.

What about that right knee that starts flaring up towards the end of the season?
How many issues has Devin had with the knee? I never got to watch the games the last few weeks of the season. I was trying to watch them on NBA league pass, but I kept getting buffering issues so I gave up. Hopefully it's good going forward and it was just precautionary.
You can see when he lands off a jump shot that it bothers him. Gotta look it up but im sure his season has been cut short because of his knee twice.
Haven't seen it yet, but apparently Fisher is reporting Ainge isn't interested in Keldon.
Of course, this is exactly the kind of thing you'd leak to the media if you're trying to milk more out of the Spurs. Ainge continues to do his job... but I think GSW and SAS are both holding firm.
Just playing hardball, the guy he's really eyeing is Collins to fill the white dude quota for the Jazz. Ok Ainge, you twisted our arm, you can have him.
I see Zach as tank commander at Jazz
Jazz have waived Darius Bazley and Kenneth Lofton Jr.
Just having some fun. I was more optimistic than some, but still pegged it as 25-30%.
Is that really a sign though?
They’re below the floor, so it’s a sign that they have some contracts inbound in some fashion. There’s no reason to cut those guys, otherwise.
While I might want it more badly than you, I'm far less optimistic. I'd say more like 5-10% if Pop isn't in France sipping wine and watching Kerr coach. 0-1% if he is.
They cleared about $4.5 M off the cap, which they didn’t need being below the floor., and two roster spots.
As far as all the scrubs on their roster, these two were actually two of the more useful ones... so it's an interesting move.
And... it looks like they only have 13 guys under contract on their roster after this move.
Jazz Reddit seems mixed on their feelings towards Lofton (some bummed, some meh), but universally indifferent to Bazley being cut.
I Think our assumptions are different. I feel that Ainge is in a corner, and has to make a deal. I think GMs around the league are delighted, and anxious to see Danny take it in the shorts. Everyone seems to be sitting this one out, except us and GS. His market is two, and I don’t see GS being able to outbid us without crashing their franchise, post Curry. Not sure jollying Steph along for his last 2-3 years is worth 6 years in the wilderness.
More than likely much ado about nothing, but it was weird that Paul wasn't asked about it in his introductory press conference.I don't know if it's for Markannen but I buy the Keldon being actively shopped rumors. Lot of weird smoke with him and CP3's number tbh
Less so, but still somewhat weird, is them seemingly going out of their way to block where his number would be in any photoshopped image (could obviously just be that it's not settled) and to pull a Dejounte, in the photos/videos online, Johnson's generally not if at all been seen in the practice facility.
I actually don't think we are that far off in our base assumptions, honestly. I agree with pretty much everything you said except I think the Spurs got an indication of the cost early decided they wouldn't pursue it. I just don't believe this FO has what it takes to make a bold, aggressive, BUYING move. When they eventually make one, I'll be presently surprised.
For the conspiracy theory minded... all of the things TD mentions here, plus the Jazz releasing two end of roster guys, plus the convenient timing of Fisher reporting that Ainge isn't interested in Keldon could lead one to concoct a theory that something is in the works... if they were so inclined.
If the Jazz cut Bazley and Lofton as part of some move that's strange timing. They wouldn't have to cut those guys yet, they could do it as part of whatever deal they make.
Based on on your input. Ainge has to trade Lauri; Spurs really need Lauri; Spurs can easily outbid warriors even with their moderate 4 FRPs. Then we should have a 95% chance of getting Lauri. The other 5% is because Lauri wants to go to Warriors.

I found myself agree with this guy.
