    So all of Ace refusing interviews and refusing workouts get him to Utah. Can't imagine that was his groups plan?

    There were lots of reports his group wanted him to be on the East Coast and possibly in Washington. If Ainge sees that maybe he's demanding a haul from the Wizards to flip spots.

    Didn’t Ace wanna be on the East Coast? That backfired.

    What if we somehow ended up with Lauri and Ace. That would be wild. I’m sure it would cost us Tou.

    Problem with draft is so much dead time they have to fill up with chatter and quickly run out of anything insightful to say.

    I think picks are not going in order from here on in the draft. I think picks are more need than best player. The rest of the talent is all in the eye of the beholder

    I wouldnt even bother picking up the phone. Ainge would probably demand multiple picks and Scoot too.

    Yeah I wish they had a "Manning cast" version with a couple good podcasters or such.

    Really I normally like the trades much more than the picks but there's been zero of them so far.

    Khaman Maluach, watched a number of his games. He has incredible upside and at 7’2” his speed footwork quickness off the charts for his size

    He's one of my favorites. If we are getting rid of Ayton and Rob then I'd like him to be a small ball big to platoon with Clingan.
