IMO, Green should be the more valuable trade asset because of Kyrie's age and injury history. Plus, I think Dallas kind of has to trade him. I would argue that Green is a great fit next to Flagg and Morez. They should send us a pick or 2.

Just took a year off from posting, since several people wanted me to leave, and Mori told the mods to meet and decide whether I should be banned, but I was never notified of their decision, so I just decided to stop posting. It was never my intention to make the board an unpleasant experience for anyone.
Also, life kind of got too busy for a while to have any time for message boards anyway. And just to clarify my post from the Miles Bridges thread, I am not renouncing my lifelong Suns fandom, just not going to support the decision or player, or support the team financially. Like Sose says on his site, it’s about holding the organization accountable for their decision. I think all of us fans have plenty of experience with having players on the team that we don’t like or root for.

I am sorry to report that the All Things Ayton thread is still fairly active, and fairly negative. But I think you knew that would be the case.
Re: 2026 Offseason
Gotta say that I am chuckling a bit at the Lakers' offseason. They've traded almost all of their picks and ... wait for it ... gone "all in" on their current team based on Luka. Hmm, where have I heard that before? Now, in their defense, they were at least a playoff team last year, a non-play-in team. And the mighty OKC Thunder proved mortal after all. So maybe they can convince themselves that they have as good a chance as anybody to come out of the West. But I still think they've acted in a short-sighted way that leaves their cupboard bare and may make it hard for them to replenish their roster with young players. Maybe since they're the Lakers they will be able to find young talent willing to come play for them. But they won't be able to build organically with picks.
I still can't believe they gave up that much to get Kessler, a guy who wanted out of Utah anyway. Ainge is the king at extracting huge concessions to get rid of players he was done with already. Have to admit that I'm envious about how he is building their pool of assets. They've been bad for years now and probably will not compete for a playoff spot next year either, but he is wisely not breaking the bank to keep marginal or mediocre players and is maximizing return on his various assets as they depart. And he has some of the best young upcoming players in the league thanks to their past few drafts.

Wow, I feel like Jalen Green and a couple firsts would have been better than that. Celtics got pennies on the dollar
Re: 2026 NBA Offseason
Wowwww that is a horrible deal for Boston. What are they thinking? Great upgrade for Philly.

Brad Stevens saving Rob Pelinka from NBA public ridicule in less than a day was definitely not on my off-season bingo card.

Basically every fan is looking at the roster of their team and thinking the same thing.
