Chip. I am not a Clarkson booster. Not needed here. Standing pat. Thanks. Looking forward to seeing what Cam brings to the table this season.

So my recollection of FaciliTaTing a Fournier > Clarkson exchange is faulty. 

Point taken. 

Cam?  Would really like to see him compete with Toppin, RJ, Fournier, Grimes and IQ.

Sign & Trade combo guard Colin Sexton

Stretch 4 Lauri Markkannen

Shooting Guard Ochai Agbaji, out of Kansas, drafted #14 by the Cavs in 2022

THREE unprotected #1 picks

TWO Pick Swaps

Bullet dodged.

I will be watching the team defensive rating in Cleveland and how their morale shapes up.

Allen and Mobley provide a lot of coverage, but will it be enough.

CAVS

PG: Darius Garland, Ricky Rubio, Raul Neto
SG: Donovan Mitchell, Caris LaVert
SF: Isaac Okoro, Cedi Osman
PF-C: Jarret Allen, Evan Mobley, Isaiah Mobley, Kevin Love, Robin Lopez

Not too shabby a 12-Man rotation. 

CLEARLY...

Ainge had this deal in his back pocket...all along. 

Was just a matter of seeing if he could finger blast Leon Rose and use the media and fan base to give up WAY TOO FUCKING MUCH in draft capital and young players. 

Leon didn't go for it.

It was not a full fleece, but Ainge did well.

I expect his next move is to go get some picks off the Lakers for Russ.

Hey, a damn good haul for the Jazz

Sexton can play on and off the ball, is 23, and a Mitchell doppleganger, who can team with Conley [assuming he ain't dealt to the Lakers], and Taylor Horton, plus big wings Bolmaro, Alexander-Walker and the kid from Kansas. 

Markkanen is a 7-foot stretch 4 and 25. 

They got rookie Kessler from Minny to play center [21]

SOMETIMES THE BEST DEALS ARE THE ONES YOU DON'T MAKE

Leon Rose determined that the Knicks were not going to be punked. 

I APPLAUD HIM

Thank god this shit is over with.

I was never an advocate of the Mitchell trade at any price and, as I've said 100 times, really hopeful that a scrappy point guard can spark our collective talent.

I just get irritated by the pipe-dream tendency of mis-using stats and elevating guys just because they're wearing a Knicks uniform. Last year, we were a losing team and we should not have been. Apparently nobody wants to take any blame for that.

If Barrett can change that equation, he's got my vote for sheriff or mayor or whatever fucking title he wants. Even star.

Just something he's gotta earn.

Yeah, I agree. I kept reading that no one could offer a deal like the Knicks....but if I'm the Jazz, I'd be feeling pretty good with this.

Losing team and shouldn't have been? 

Well...if I may? 

The KEMBA trade, and Rose going down [not to mention Noel going down], queered our season, and certainly played a part in the crappy start both of our bell cows, Julius AND R.J. had through the all-star break, not to mention how IQ & Obi struggled with inconsistent minutes and looking over their shoulders.  Of course, the whole COVID thing didn't help either.  Both Grimes AND McBride had some breakout games and then had to sit out in protocols. 

Thibs has to shoulder some of the responsibility, in so far as his response to Walker and tasking Burks with being a point, did not help.  And NOT PLAYING OUR PUPS. 

In fairness to him, we got the D together more or less after the All-Star break.

Yes, nice pass by Leon

Cavs ahead of Knicks right now - but at least Mitchell didnt land with Heat.

I'll sleep well knowing we still have ALL OUR PICKS, Four extra picks, a wild card in Cam, and some light-blue chip prospects on rookie deals.

Leon has all the clay he needs to make the trade he wants to make.

JUMP BALL!

Let us see what our play looks like before we start planning the next deal.
