Kat is not going anywhere imo
They gonna bank on ant taking another step forward, continuity, and some moves around the edges. They could trade D-LO
Imo with sweetner to upgrade for a taller 2way sg-sf if one’s available.
D-LO -Bev is kinda small backcourt
Imo and BeV is really important to what they did this year and for next imo

Yeah would of been nice to see Preston he’s up and get a little burn towards end of season in blowouts instead of moon(who looks like a good gamble on 2-way) hopefully we see Preston in SL again , training camp, preseason etc. clippers might/might not address the pg need with Preston in mind or not in mind who knows. Yeah depends on what pacers get offered for turner? A lot of teams want a center like him in this day in age in the nba, so i think the pacers could get better draft capital/young prospects on rookie deals then what we have to offer. But then again pacers (long shot) could view some veterans in a trade for turner/brogdon to help with the developing of Duarte/Halliburton.
If im pacers I go for more youth
Kinda Memphis style, and avoid as many vets, just my opinion!
Yeah Boucher hart would be awesome center tandem for us imo especially if we use Zu in trade . Give me malachi Flynn and Boucher if Toronto wants some vets in exchange.

Yeah. TWs were pretty careless with the ball, lazy passes. Kind of an undisciplined bunch. Ant will only get better and better. He’s the man there. Memphis will be hard to beat if they keep shooting lights out and Ja wakes up.

Hart’s gone? OK, if you say so…….

Pass on DLo and KATman, they lack high basketball IQ. That last game, KAT just settled for early in the shot clock for long 3-pt shots. They didn’t move the ball around and made it easy on the very good Memphis defense.

Once I remembered that we had Preston and reviewed his potential I exhaled on the point guard needs. He should be totally fine and possibly special. If we could move Zu+ for Turner I’m all in. Otherwise it would be amazing if we could plug someone like Boucher into that TPMLE 4/5 slot. Hart is gone anyway.

Since we’re playing with teams that flamed out of the playoffs, feels like the Timberwolves almost come out of the playoffs looking almost worse than if they lost to the Clips in the play-in games. I mean between people making fun of them for celebrating the play-in win like a championship, to them giving up like 3 late game double digit leads, feels like they’ve been the butt of the joke for a few weeks now.

Any chance the move on from KAT and DLo and truly build around Ant? I mean I don’t think the Clips would have the young assets they’d want, but you could offer up like Mook, Kennard, Powell, Zu, and Boston for KAT and DLo, haha. Hated to throw Boston in there, but they’d want some young guys back for their star, and the Clips don’t really have the picks to sweeten the deal. Still think if building around Ant, they’d rather take back some young pieces and picks from another team than the Clips old guys on big contracts, but at least Clips could offer a few interesting pieces. Maybe KAT’s relationship with PG could grease the wheels if they care at all about that kind of stuff.

Taking on DLo is probably a negative value for that contract, so it’s really what is KAT’s value after this playoff series. Feels like KAT’s reputation took a hit these playoffs, but looking up his stat line of 20 pts/10 rebounds per game on 50/50/90 shooting splits would be nice.

Zu can’t handle these guys either
And Zu is looked at as “ an old school center”
Atleast hart is more mobile and like others have said he can play more switch everything D
And has shown to shoot a couple threes and they don’t look bad when he lets em fly.
If we’re gettting a clear upgrade
Zu would be the first person I move. We got him on a value contract , he played exceptionally well on that value contract but for his next contract?? Time to cash out imo
If we’re not going to get a clear upgrade , and Ty gonna use a ton of small ball for playoffs , then keep Zu for regular season and situational matchups during playoffs.
I’d trade Zu for clear upgrade at pg or center. Zu is not gonna extend for 7mil per year again and I don’t know if he’s worth it for this team to pay 12,14,16 mil per year when his game does not fit the NEWNBA style

I can’t see Hart being able to handle Jokic, Embid or even Jaren Jackson.

Cousins looked surprisingly good his last game.
