Several teams are considering trade avenues to acquire Trae Young, per @JakeLFischer. If the Wizards select Darryn Peterson in the upcoming draft, it could open the door for Washington to at least gauge the market value of the All-Star guard.

Couple things that would make me VERY happy to be over with pre draft. Giannis trade and the Aspiration investigation. It's really crippling the Clippers trading Kawhi. @NBA stop screwing around. Adam we love Jewish people and you are the GOAT commissioner we promise.

@dadof4princeses @Tjonesonthenba We won’t know that. People always said Draymond was only good because he got to focus on D with Curry/Klay, then we saw him lock up Kawhi when Curry wasn’t peak, at older age etc. None of us know. All we know is Harper looks insanely good on both ends for a rook

@Clipper_Revival @Tjonesonthenba Let’s put it this way: without Harper, wemby is STILL dpoy and arguably the best defender on the planet. Without wemby, Harper may not be a good defensive player (he wasnt in college)

Kawhi Leonard, Ja Morant, and Trae Young are widely considered to be backup options for the Miami Heat should they miss out on Giannis Antetokounmpo, per @JakeLFischer. (via open.substack.com/pub/marcstein/…)

@dadof4princeses @Tjonesonthenba We don't know that. His style of defense hasn't really been cheating off the ball or high risk plays. It's been more man to man stops. He's looking to me more like 2014 Kawhi breakout, and I'm not just saying that because it's the Spurs.

@dadof4princeses @Tjonesonthenba “Making someone better” is very different than gives you confidence to roam more because they have your back etc. because as I said under that criteria good ball stoppers also make paint defenders better by being competent

@Clipper_Revival @Tjonesonthenba Dude… Rudy made the Utah the best defensive team in the league by a mile with 2x 6’ guards, a 6’4” power forward and JOE FREAKING INGLES. Wemby is different by a mile

@dadof4princeses @Tjonesonthenba No, you are strawmanning. I am simply saying it’s not accurate to imply rim defense MAKES perimeter defenders better. They are literally two strings of the same instrument. You don’t think better POA also makes Wemby better or his defense easier??

@dadof4princeses @Tjonesonthenba Okay and I’m explaining to you that the value of a guard/wing can be as high as a big. SGA had a higher EPM than Wemby this year and Jokic last year.

@Clipper_Revival @Tjonesonthenba Yes that is exactly how pick and roll/pop works. The center can’t rotate to help the ball handler because of the lob threat. This is how JOE INGLES was at the top of the league finishing at the rim during his jazz years.

@dadof4princeses @Tjonesonthenba Hell look at the Clippers in the Kawhi era several years. Zubac was a top 3-4 rim anchor defensively but they couldn’t get back in transition or guard outside POA. Both wing defenders and and rim protectors make each other better

@Clipper_Revival @Tjonesonthenba Yes that it is in fact how basketball works. That is how the jazz had the leagues best defense during the Rudy years and also how the wolves did most of the last half decade. A dominant defensive anchor means wing defenders can gamble because they have baseline support

@Officialwilleno @JeremyWoo @ShamsCharania SGA had a WAY better first step, and a 6’11 wingspan. Every prospect that “isn’t athletic” isn’t equally unathletic. There are levels. Oh we will see about that, I’m making it happen

One correction... they didn't negotiate and closed off the conversation a week or two before they needed to. So neither side really knows where the deal zone was last year. Gotta run all the way through first... ya never know.
Art Cummings@ArtTakesNote

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Walker Kessler is a bit upset. The front office basically told him last summer what they thought he was worth and didn’t budge. Combine that with multiple trade discussions throughout the past year as well. Kessler is reportedly willing to take a shorter prove-it type of contract if they can’t reach some type of middle ground. Jazz think he’s worth 20-25M a year and Walker thinks he’s worth closer to 35M. Definitely some middle ground there and I am confident a deal gets worked out overall.

Bill Simmons on the Clippers being a facilitator to get Giannis to Boston, and Kawhi ending up in Miami: “I heard this too during the weekend. Could the Clippers with the 5th pick move in there and be the 3rd team and then the 2nd piece of this, would they then send Kawhi to Miami as a consolation prize?”
