  1. There's a reason the hawks didn't want him after giving him that contract! I think he's going to be a big mistake when we look back on it.

  2. Henricks can play the 3,4 and even 5 he should get plenty of minutes. Same with Olymyk they will be the bench options for the front court

  3. I don't see sexton as a point guard, and I think he will be best coming off of the bench.

    The question with Collins will be the 3pt shot. If he shoots 35% + then he will be effective, it not, he shouldn't play with Kessler.

    Why do we not talk about Austin Reaves as a potential FA. The dude can play the pt, and plays defense. I see him fitting in perfectly with the Jazz.

  4. Ainge fleece Nets, Wolves, Hawks and list will go on. Great trade and we lost nothing. A frontcourt with Kessler, Lauri, Collins and Hendricks is really good. And I doubt Ainge is done here. Future is bright

  5. Leif with Hendricks Lauri and Collins all being able to play PF and SF all three of them can play legit starter minutes and not risk development. Playoffs are an 8 man rotation anyways

  6. I see Collins as more of a finesse version of Kyle Kuzma, and Kuzma is about to get a contract that looks just like collins contract coming off a similar year to Collins top year

  7. I think Sexton is being a bit underrated. Is he a pure PG? No but he is the lone guard on the roster who can put pressure on the rim and finish at a high rate. He can still make simple reads passing to the bigs or driving and passing to shooters on the wing. Kid is a walking bucket which is needed when the offense bogs down in the halfcourt. I don't know if he should start but should definitely get 25 minutes a night on this team due to his skillset. THT is the only other guard on the team who puts any pressure on the rim but he is not an efficient player at all.
