The Ainge influence is heavy. Danny is co CEO of team, Son Austin is team president. Justin Zanik is the GM.
What is the goal in SLC? Get respectable quickly or keep the yoot plan and then make trade? When?
IN the land of "annoying white folk" Kessler is a good player to build with. I get the logic that we'd have to make an offer they could not refuse. Im not saying we should not.
Some owners just ask for this type of stuff, this team is just poorly managed

Elf Payton could put up 35 points and 10 assists against that defensive lineup

Yeah but what about KAT?
Well was going to share a suggested Kat trade I saw on RGM and this is good a spot as any given King struggles.
Sabonis/Ellis for Kat — works in tracker BUT that deal would put Knicks over 2nd apron as is.
Noticed Sabonis #s are way off thru 1st few games FGA, points and assists all way down despite normal minutes.
Sabonis has issues but he could also be a great facilitator for rest of team that needs more shot creation.
Brunson
Ellis
Mikal
OG
Sabonis
Deuce/Kolek
Clarkson/Shamet
Hart/Dadiet
Yalu/Diawarra
Mitch/Huck
Scoring is kind of ridiculous in many cases around the league — guys putting up 50 like Bonds, Sosa & Maguirre
I find these games boring when defense is a non entity.
Man, Boston over Cleveland and Orlando dropping a game to Detroit and are 1-4.
While the team needs time to gel and learn Brown's faster paced offensive style.... down the road something to consider before the deadline.
Could some type of KAT and inexpensive players/picks (eg McBride,Kolek, Pacome, future #1 pick) for Lauri and Kessler make sense for our roster/future? Ainge can use KAT and reroute him and gain more picks in the process. We would be better defensively, longer and deeper as a team. Lauri would give us similar outside scoring (KAT), along with similar defense too (ouch). Kessler would allow us C/PF flexibility and insurance for Mitch and our lack of defensive presence when KAT plays C due to Mitch's injuries. I get we have been thinking of trying to get Kessler to play next to KAT but maybe this is one of those deals that yields us more options as we will have to make a decision on Mitch soon. Also it bolsters our bench/depth as Lauri starting would move OG to the 3, Bridges back to the 2, etc... we'd be big at most positions instead of slightly undersized at the 3 and 4 spots. Can still play 5 and out as Lauri can offer some minutes at the 5.
Kessler (Mitch)
Lauri (Yabusele)
OG (Hart)
Bridges (Shamet, Clarkson)
Brunson (McBride)
(Hukiporti, McCullar, Diawara, Pacome)
