Nope, not if you rely solely on insiders.

Utah isn't done making moves though, I can tell ya that.

[Wretch]

Man.....this offseason is WILD! LOL

[thecampster]

This is the most amazing off-season I think I've ever seen and its only getting started.

GS front line brought toughness. That's a big factor.

Our front line would be:   Hunter, Simmons, and Clint.

Say what you want about Simmons.. let's throw the mental health aside for the moment (that may have been a work - A work so serious that when he started it, he had to stay the course).  Those Defensive first teams that Simmons made it on are not just given to you because you play in a tough city.. or because your name sounds tough.   It's earned by a player that makes it hard for the offense to score. 

Simmons/Clint could be a really hellacious defensive duo... mix with that Murray and Hunter and we have ourselves a strong defensive team.  Hunter has to pull his weight but I think with the moves he sees around him, he'll step up.

I know not everyone is for it. And just to be clear I am not saying that I want this to happen. But if JC ends up in Brooklyn for Ben Simmons, I want y’all to stand back and look at our lineups. Bc that is a very crazy good defensive team. And if defensive was our biggest problem last year…

I'm ok with a Simmons move because it means we are trying. I am not excited or pushing for it. But I will understand it and respect the effort.

I know i'm in the minority but defense was one of our biggest problems but honestly if you look at our fourth quarter offense that was a huge problem.   A lineup with 3 guys who aren't 3 point threats isn't going to be successful imo no matter how good the d is.

Well. Utah blows it up.

[JeffS17]

KAT moving to PF will be interesting to see... that team is going to be pretty solid, but who is their PG?  Need a good PG to really unlock that roster.

yeah, but then offense become a problem.

Maybe i'm just ignorant but i'm not buying Simmons as a PF.  So far not a single coach has.

UTA is going BIG with that roster. Will be fun to see how they play together.

Windhurst was implying that on first take. I wonder if they are going to send Mitchell somewhere.

[theheroatl]

Wolves sent the GODFATHER OFFER?

Maybe they’re clearing out for a retool around Mitchell ?

Crazy offseason leads to crazy season imo.  All the roster turnovers is going to make for a super exciting season.

They probably take as many Miami assets as possible. Miami desperately wants him.

From here, what moves would you or wouldn't you make with our roster?  I'm asking because I know w/e happens you will retrospectively be in favor of the opposite and condemn the FO. 

I would love to hear your ideal vision for the our roster based on where we are today.

Keep John obviously and see what we have until the trade deadline.  Don't want Durant because of his age and the fact we would have to gut the team to acquire him. That could end in disaster in 2025 and beyond. Definitely don't want Ben Simmons. Ayton is interesting at the right price.
