@Jason_Shetler Hell yes for Rakell. Rust would hurt and it would need to be for the RIGHT player. But……he has MAYBE 2 seasons of production left that doesn’t fit our time line. Cash in now. Again, we have 38 mil in space, move them and we have 49. Assets to go after Jaron and RT
@Jason_Shetler If we deplete our picks and 2-4 prospects not Horcoff, Brunicke, Plante. But we add Jrob, Thomas, resign Silvos, and Yegor that leaves 15 million for a winger for Sid, 3rd liner and a D or 2. Buyout dump Graves and Justin B and you should easily be able to do so.
@play_eighteen@SpencerKeele Would have like Trevon Brazile. Let’s see how Jaxon Kohler works out, hope he sees a lot of action in Summer League. Robert Williams is probably too pricey and CANT shoot free throws
@SpencerKeele We need one more dawg now in addition to Key, Collier, DP, Ace, Lauri, JJJ, Kess, Nurk and Flip instead of waiting 3 more years to try to make a deep run.
Bring in a sharpshooter and some muscle
Utah Jazz are pretty much set for next season. I think they just need 1 or 2 of:
◾️Marcus Smart (Ainge connection)
◾️Quentin Grimes (Wanted him in Donovan trade talks)
◾️Mike Conley (ik he’s cooked but as the 8th or 9th player in the regular season rotation would be awesome for this Jazz squad IMO)
My pitch for JRobo:
Rakell
Horcoff
'26 1st
'26 2nd WPG
'27 2nd (Conditional--earlier of the two of PIT/NYR)
'27 2nd PIT (DAL if they want it for offer sheet purposes)
@Matthew_Sean96 Might see a move during the draft but I’d say we’re looking at FA market for any major changes. And for anyone thinking we should try for Robertson, hopefully came to their senses today when it was reported he wants 14M/yr
I know Penguin fans are probably getting impatient with Kyle Dubas considering all the trades taking place in the NHL, but the Penguins don't have a lot of draft capital.
@JakePenrod You take talent when it’s available. Thats all.
Also, we can always make moves afterwards to find a big center that can defend and rebound.
We don’t have to have this be the final roster lol.
Hornets new starting lineup:
Coby White
Kon Knueppel
Brandon Miller
Miles Bridges
Moussa Diabete
Naz Reid
Hannes Steinbach
Is Charlotte a playoff team 🤔⁉️
@john_keeffer Average games played
Lauri 55 games
JJ 57
Keyonte
George 65
Kessler 65 minus last year
Grant it we weren’t good so no reason to push and we were tanking, but still an injury is an injury. Now instead of tanking, depth will be a reason to not rush back from injury
The Jazz are going to have a problem of having too much talent and not enough minutes.
The Jazz will sign Walker Kessler which means one of Ace or Darryn has to come off the bench. That doesn’t work for long, and leads to needing to trade Lauri, JJJ, or Kessler down the road.
Jazz fans, please don’t freak out if/when Will Hardy has Peterson come off the bench to start the season. He’s done that with every rookie, and most have made the starting lineup within a couple months (Kessler, Keyonte, Collier, Ace)
League average shot attempts per game is around 90. How are you divvying those shots up if you’re the Jazz?
Lauri, JJJ, Key, Ace, DP, Brice, Kessler, etc….
Good problems to have undoubtedly, Will Hardy must be licking his chops right now. 🔥🔥🔥
I’m guessing the reason the Pens haven’t been more active, with all due respect to the players, is that Rust, Rakell and Novak are not many teams’ “Plan A” when Jason Robertson, Dylan Larkin, Zach Werenski and Connor Hellebuyck are available
