    He passes like Magic Johnson, and now he has become a very good shooter. He is an exciting player to watch. But, yeah he has been with a smaller market team for his career, you would think he would be less known.

    I would give up one first and a bunch of seconds for Kessler.
    I like Cam, but wouldn’t do a first based on his age- he doesn’t fit with a rebuild timeline.
    I have mild interest in Sexton.
    Zero interest in Kuz, Ingram, or Lonzo. The first two are way too expensive for what they bring and I will never trust Lonzo’s ability to stay healthy.

    With Gabe looking more like his Miami self the last few weeks, I'm not sure swapping him for Valanciunas is a net gain anymore.

    keep thinking about how dallas nabbed gafford and pj washington last year and really changed the way the team played to great effect. is there anything out there like that this year? i'm not sure, as most guys on the market are older and/or more offense-oriented.

    For us i think that'd be DFS + a functional big. Whether it's Jonas or Sharpe or someone else, either type works. JJ can figure it out. Just a big who's good enough to log 18 minutes, gobble up rebounds, matchup against at least one type of center, and prevents it from falling on Rui and Bron when AD sits. JJ doesn't trust Koloko enough and our backups we're paying may not ever get off the injury list. They're trade fodder and nothing more.
