Utah is struggling to add talent around Lauri… he’s 27. Ainge isn’t going to hold Lauri to be a 10th seed. Utah will rebuild. Stacked 2025 draft too… no way Markkanen is a Jazz come next years deadline. I say this offseason he’s gone.

It’s not insane, it’s expected for LeBron’s son. LeBron has done plenty for the Los Angeles Lakers… signing his son to a rookie guaranteed contract is not detrimental, in any way.

Why are you hating on Paul George? He wanted to be back with the Clippers, gave them the opportunity to bring him back… the team wouldn’t give him that 4th year.

Utah Jazz’s Lauri Markkanen feels more likely to be traded than not.
@wojespn
said that rival NBA teams that spoke with the Jazz regarding Markkanen, left with the feeling that Utah will end up trading him. Won’t be easy to get him… Utah loves Markkanen. It’ll be a lot of assets

Important to note regarding Lakers’ offer to Hurley. On paper, the offer may be “more”, but situationally, it will likely come in a bit lower than UCONN’s from an overall financial perspective, without mentioning long-term job security.
$70M over 6 years in LA -> ~$5.67M take home / year
$50M over 6 years in Storrs -> ~$5.01M take home / year
Per NerdWallet, to maintain Storrs standard of living in LA you’d need ~$7.07M take home / year.
So LA was ~$1.5M/year short of a laterally priced offer vs UConn’s offer

Could the Philadelphia 76ers trade for Jimmy Butler again?
@ShamsCharania
reported the 76ers aggression in making a move ahead of free agency… and they have the cap space to absorb his $48.8 million contract.
Jimmy Butler is eligible for an extension, but the Miami Heat have been hesitant to meet his desired terms. Turning 35 in September, Butler is set to earn $48.8 million next season with a player option for $52.4 million the following year. He is a potential trade candidate.
