    The "over" should be an entirely moot point if these are the teams we're dealing with.

    Simmons brought up a few names.

    KAT
    Ingram
    PG
    Jaylen

    Can we work out a three way with Miami where Hero and Robinson go to Minny, Dame enda up in Miami, and we end up with KAT and a bunch of picks?

    Think the Twolves should do it.

    Just wonder what our appetite is for a 55 mil Towns three yrs from now. But the lineup is intriguing offensively anyway.

    Scoot / Lowry
    Ant / Sharpe
    Sharpe / JJJ
    Grant / Jovic / Murray
    Towns / ?

    To MIA:
    Dame, Nurk

    To Minny:
    Herro, Nas

    To POR:
    KAT, Lowry, JJJ, Jovic, picks

    forget KAT....Blazers are not going to get out of Dame's super-max deal only to plunge back into a longer super-max for a lesser player

    Agree. Can't see that happening unless it was a shorter deal. The Blazers will hopefully have to pay through the nose for Sharpe and Scoot because they are worth it, can't have KAT on an inflated contract at that point.

    just to remind everybody what KAT's contract looks like:

    For sure. His contract runs out before Sharpe gets an extension - so if it does not work, it's not a big deal. KAT on the other hand...

    I’d rather have Jarret Allen than Towns. His contract is ass.

    Jaylen Brown would be great. Ingram after that I think.

    So what is the story on Orlando Robinson? Is he as good as a late 1st round pick? Good size and good offensive skills. Can he play any D?

    I think if we could get Ingram the deal would be done already, talk about perfect fit.

    JJJ and Jovic are the only Heat youngsters worth anything.

    Orlando is on that Eubanks tier.

    Orlando Robinson measured pretty well at the combine.
    6'9.75” barefoot, 6'11.0” in shoes, 9'3.0” standing reach, 244.4 lbs, 7'4.0” wingspan at the 2022 NBA Draft Combine …
    Good offensive game, just not sure how his D is.

    So if he is Eubanks but a little bigger, he might be worth a spot on the bench.

    Robinson would be intriguing, but the Heat just re-signed him, so I think it would be 6 months before he could be included.

    True.
    But in theory, Miami could place him on waivers & then Portland could 'claim' him prior to him clearing waivers.

    There is a small risk that Houston, Spurs, Hornets, or Detroit would put a claim in - but I think that is a low risk.

    I disagree. I don't think any of the three are worth much.

    I don't see any value in Jovic. He's a slow footed Meyers Leonard... but at least Meyers would go inside the paint and attempt a rebound. I'd be surprised if Jovic gets a second contract. Miami can keep him for all I care.

    Orlando is playable, and I agree that he's on the Eubanks tier.
    JJJ has some value as well, but I think he tops out at a Pat Connauton tier of player (generally a net negative, but plays hard & gets a few highlight hustle plays - so you like their effort).

    Why does it seem like we have the least amount of Bigs of any team?
