It would be nice to have someone on the roster that Sharpe could speak Canadian with.

LAL can't trade their '26 pick.

The '25 pick is headed to NOP & the '27 pick is going to UTAH. Earliest available pick to trade is '29

Smh, I don’t even like them as a trade partner then. Knecht is not enough incentive for me to trade Grant.
 
i also don't see the impetus to move ayton immediately. clingan isn't ready to take over starting duties, especially without other strong vets around him.

i feel there's more pressure to move Grant and/or Ant.

Lakers could be pretty bad in 29. LeBron will be way gone by then.

I guess that’s true.

I was hoping on getting an intriguing young talent back that much still have potential left. Guys that we can bring back for fairly cheap who we are confident can at least play a role. I know we aren’t at the point where we are abundant on picks, but I do think we have so many good young pieces already that we really only need maybe one more BIG piece outside of the ‘25 lotto pick.

So yeah, it’d be cool to get a Lakers ‘29 unprotected 1st. But we could get unprotected ‘26 1st + other picks + Moody for Grant as well (salaries aside, just talking value). Or trying to pry someone from the Rockets. I’m not sure how I feel, but I’m pretty firm on feeling Knecht + ‘29 unprotected isn’t enough.

Yeah, clingan isn't ready for 30 minutes a night. Let him back up Ayton, unless someone overpays. Grant and ant and RW3 on the move please

ya we need to definitively open up 15-20 mpg for DC. otherwise, that's a wasted pick.

what is the acceptable return for him in a trade now?

any chance at a heavily protected first, or do we need to showcase him?

Couple of 2nds probably.
Someone said it before, but I don't think showcasing does as much for gms as it does for fans. Everyone knows he is injury prone. Him being healthy for the first month of the season just means a team that wants him missed out on a healthy month. If they read his medical, that should be enough

if that's the case, we need to move him now.

There’s honestly probably more pressure to move Ant if you want Scoot to get all the minutes he can. Buuut Grant probably will command more because we’ve been able to gauge the value of wings with two trades so far this summer. We are all waiting to see if Ingram goes for 3 1sts or something like that. Wonder what his next contract looks like (probably around $40+m/yr?), someone will be taking that on as well on top of trading multiple picks. There might not be that many better options this summer after we find out where PG lands.

I think Grant is the only immediate need to be moved. Thybulle as well, we need the developmental minutes and I am not all too impressed with highlight defensive plays covering up overall undisciplined fundamentals.

Yup. Clingan will only likely play 20mpg. It really helps though this season that Chauncey will have a spry 20 yo defensive anchor or a fresh shooting big that he can sub in for a different vibe whenever he is unhappy with DA’s play.

DA’s perimeter defense has been the welcomed surprise though. I’m really interested to see how DA would look at PF for maybe a solid 6min stretch a night. Guys like Sarr and Wemby and Mobley are going to keep coming into the league. DA is good enough with his feet that we can try two big lineups now before ever acquiring one of those guys.

Overall, I’m happy with this big man rotation. The only goal should be to upgrade the wing position.

my goals:
- open up a runway for scoot/sharpe
- get camara/clingan rotation minutes
- build good habits
- lose

These are the only goals! Seriously I hope our leadership (coaching and front office) are only thinking about those things.
