This is a nice little trade to get us a backup big who fits the system.



We’re definitely done with Mann and Poku so this moves off them too while Olynk can provide some physicality and can pass and shoot.

    Nah, i think mark to flex our tank squad when we are up 20 in games

  2. Every single trade in this sub just makes me disappointed

    Not sure why people are criticizing this. It’s become pretty clear Mann and Poku are mostly out of the rotation. It does us and them not good to rot at the end of the bench. We need a big because Jwills defense right now is at times Kanter-level bad. Another vet voice in the locker room also makes sense. I dig this trade but I don’t know where Kelly is in Utah’s rotation so I can’t tell if this gets the deal done.

    Over the last few months we’ve seen a ton of hyper unrealistic trades that definitely didn’t seem like a thunder move. Like Ayton. These types of smaller conservative moves where we can consolidate some pieces so they also get a chance elsewhere feels like a win win. Is this a championship level move? No. But it hypothetically helps some of things we see most nights.

  4. If you’re gonna make this trade, why wouldn’t you just not make this trade and instead get Muscala back since he 1)costs less in assets b)costs less in salary and III)we already know he likes the org/city and plays well in the Shai+shooters lineup

    This shouldn’t be downvoted. These guys could use some more time on the rotation, and Mark has them FAR below ***Lindy Waters***

    Give them a chance to grow. Bring in a guy that could be situationally useful. Everybody wins.

    Trade scenarios generally make me cringe, but this one kinda makes sense.

    If he’s physical and can rebound then anything else is a nice bonus

  8. I think it might cost a little more but would be happy to bring in Olynyk.

  9. Remember when Olynyk tried to break Kevin Love’s arm? Fuck Kelly Olynyk.

  10. I just want to see poku and chet in together for a few minutes
