I wouldn't call 3 first round picks nothing.

Lakers 2027 pick will be bottom half, Utah pick in 2027 will be lottery, and who cares about a 2031 pick.  Add in the fact that unless you are picking in the top 5, the odds of landing a superstar like Jarren Jackson Jr are slim at best.  Even if you pick in the top 5, the odds to get someone as good as him NOW, is slim.

I would have like to get him, I think he's an upgrade to Miles but team chemistry is really high right now and makes the most sense to do nothing 

Based on what the Jazz gave up, we could've given up 2 of the 3 2027 firsts we have, and our 2031 first, plus whatever bums off the bench make the contracts work like the Jazz did. 

This was a deal the Hornets could've easily done, without given up any of their studs.  You replace Moussa with Jaren Jackson Jr in the starting lineup, and this team is a top 3 or 4 team in the East.

Our front office failed us once again.

Would you trade for giannis if it included Kon? I personally wouldn't. If we can trade miles saliun and grant Williams plus like 4 firsts I would do it but if it includes miller melo or kon it would be a non starter for me.

Not BS, doesn't mean they'll get him but they are involved and talking with Milwaukee.

Giannis is 30+ and been hurt a ton. I'm keeping Kon

Im just gonna post this this here haha.  When our starting 5 is healthy this team is legit.  Spend a little extra time praying for Melo's ankles Even if you are an atheist.  Just to be safe pray anyways

Yeah fans of the current iteration of the NBA need to realize for these newer generations of players the 30 mark might as well be 40. There are already guys who have missed a ton of games in their twenties. The league is either going to have to adjust scheduling accordingly or watch viewership slowly dip lower and lower.

Would be a good move.  We need more bigs, loaded elsewhere.

A little late for the Wizards to be doing all this but ok

Sexton was really hit or miss coming off the bench I am floored we flipped him for an upgrade.

Now let's get a C.

A lot better than those Lonzo rumors yesterday. Luckily he just got shipped off to Utah.
