    Jazz also get a massive $32.5M trade exception. Too bad we couldnt send out Vando, at the very least.

    WTF? $13 million is a massive overpay. Wow.... Another player option? The f***? He wasn't even getting offers near that amount!

    I do wish we could have dumped a guy in this deal.

    Ainge likely wanted a bit of payback for us using him to get the Luka deal done.

    Yeah well see if Mamu ends up looking even nicer in a bigger role playing alongside Luka and AR… but that sounds like a lot, and really don’t think he needed a player option

    We got 3 defenders, which I like.

    Luka
    Austin
    Grimes
    Sancho
    Kessler

    That is our staring lineup

    Makes sense why LeBron left. These were not the correct moves at the prices. If you're going to convince LeBron to take less, why would he stay?
