Anyone knows the specifics of the Utah trade that Brandon nixed?

A few recent articles are disclosing the story of how Brandon "vetoed" a trade to Utah by letting it be known he would not resign with them if he were to be traded to them.
Curious to know what the trade included and what we would have been receiving back as a result.
Anyone have any info of the proposed trade? Hopefully, it included getting back in return Walker Kessler...

I’m sure it was probably something like Collins and Kessler with two picks from Minnesota, Lakers or Cavs that they have

Griffins failure to get any return for Brandon Ingram and Lonzo is one of the biggest failures in the history of team management.
Likely what we can expect to see in the future with Zion too.

Crazy that Griff is on here downvoting you
Because no unbiased ball knowing human would disagree with anything you just said there.

The three biggest pieces griff got in the AD trade was:
Ingram
Ball
4th overall pick
He really made piss out of those lemons.

Almost eveyone disagreed with me at the time, but not getting Lauri M for Zo was his biggest mistake.

Hindsight of course, but imagine this scenario instead.
Ingram
Markannen
Garland
Garland/Daniels
Jones/Hawkins
Ingram/Murphy
Williamson/JRE
Markannen/Missi
Enough spacing in the starting lineup, when fatboy gets hurt, you just shift Lauri to the 4, Missi to the 5 or murphy to the 4.
So much more flexibility. You don't have to make the McCollum or Murray trade. Hawkins being interchangeable of course with even Boston. Hell maybe you even keep Naji instead as well. But Griff fumbled that big time. Those are moves that either leave you as contenders or pretenders

He was untradeable at the time. The owner saw him as a franchise player

Wtf are you talking about? It was well known Chicago offered him for Ball at the deadline. Then Griffin had a chance to get him again in the sign in trade but preferred the 2nds and didn’t want to give him the salary.
I made a few threads about it and got blasted. Hell even Bronc who I’d say is the most knowledgeable poster on here hated Lauri M and disagreed.

Ingram is unbelievably entitled for a guy who really says nothing publicly. He wants a max contract on a winning team but has never played like a max player on a winning team… hmm
