There have been multiple MORE RECENT reports that they’re pursuing Ayton.
Free replacement, makes sense. We'll see how it plays out with Mitc , though.

Whatever, somebody still going to need Poeltl
Collin Sexton has been offered a deal from the Dallas Mavericks in the range of $21M-$22M annually, sources say.
I think Utah is keeping its options open regarding building around Donovan or blowing it up and trading him. As of now I rekon they’re looking at multiple deals to surround Mitc and try to win (Ayton S&T, Collins trade with their potential TE they’d get if the trade Bogdanovic for Ayton, 3-D wings via trade with one or two of their picks).
Ainge knows what he’s doing. If he can’t get the deal he wants to surround Mitc with the right talent to win, then he’ll blow it up and trade Mitc for a haul of picks. He won’t settle for being a treadmill play in team with just Mic + garbage like the Spurs did with Derozan and Dejounte for the last 4 years
Report just came out that the Jazz are keeping their options open and might still trade Mitc . Spurs fans better hope they don’t or we got a team that‘s gonna outtank us
Well, I think the bottom three teams with the worst record have the same percentage chance of winning the lottery pick 1st pick. So even if we win more games, if we have a bottom 3 record, we will still have the same odds.
Ainge is overrated. He had an absolute HAUL of pick from fleecing the Nets, and never even got a Finals appearance out of all that.
Yup, that's my concern, one more compe or. The worst 3 teams have the exact same odds in the lottery (1 through 4) though, the difference is that the lowest pick you can get is your position (worst to best) + 4, so the worst record picks no worse than 5, the 2nd no worse than 6th, and so on. As long as we end up in the bottom 3, we get the same chances at Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson & co. in the top 4... that's the key. But I fear that Pop's pride might cost us a few games here and there that will keep us outside the bottom 3.
Sure he did. It happened in 2022, remember? He's the reason they have their current core, including their management.
Right now. The teams with the best odds of finishing bottom 6 records imo. Think there’s a step change after these 6.
Pacers
Thunder
Rockets
Spurs
Magic
Pistons
Wildcards
Nets
Jazz
Outside of the tall frenchie, all the other top prospects next year are guards, which is gonna make the head exploding extra special around these parts come draft time.
They don't get there without the moves Stevens did since taking over tbh.
Small back court with Dinwiddie ?
May be.
I don't pretend to be All-Knowing and these are crazy times.
Thanks for underscoring my point, chief. If Kyrie and Kd bail and all they get back are picks, then they're gonna suck balls almost as bad as we will.
I could be over trusting Wright and the spurs brass but I don’t think they tank unless they felt really good about the top 5 prospects in the upcoming 23 class
Teams that are serious about winning dont trade their best player for future 1sts though
as currently constructed, OKC will be better than the spurs and perhaps even the pistons. the rest depends on how the rest of FA plays out and injuries.
Magic, Thunder, and Pistons should be better than us. Will come down to Pacers, Nets, Rockets, and us, major injuries to major players notwithstanding. Jazz could be horrible if they trade Spider-Man. Not sure he's gonna want to stay.
Just thinking, Jrue first trade back in the sixers to Pelicans days. But Jrue was younger and probably better. That's all I can think of that is comparable to Murray. I can't think of anyone that's worse than Murray that got 3 firsts. For those who wanted more. Put that in perspective.
I'm still stunned spurs haven't picked up hartenstein. He is young, center for our future. Replacement for Poeltl upon his likely trade.
his track record is good imo. go back to pulling off the big 3 to begin with.
as for the nets trade, boston traded away their entire core, missed the playoffs for 1 year, and has been there every year since. look at boston's core right now. he handpicked everyone there. jaylen brown, jayson tatum, marcus smart. he brought in al horford to begin with a few years ago too (he was subsequently brought back).
he also timed the isaiah thomas trade perfectly as well right before he fell off a cliff. a lot of people on this forum were ting on him at the time for that
