Feels like Markkanen is getting in the way with every team trying to go for him and Ainge being Ainge

The constant melt has to be exhausting.

Orlando and Utah are the teams with too many centers. That fact remains, whether or not those are the teams that want BI.

Miles Bridges and Derozen may also be slowing things down.

If the teams that want BI have stuff Orlando/Utah want like picks and role players, that could still work.

Griff’s not a panic kind of guy.

Im sure Griff is trying to get in on the Markannen deal either as a direct partner or 3rd team. Hopefully, in a manner that focuses on Kessler as the target moreso than MArkannen. The market for centers are dwindling and we need 2 of them and a backup 4. Gotta believe Griff is in on this and last resort is going back to the Atlanta deal and expanding it to get Capela as a last resort.

I'm really surprised that we didn't get a minimum (or close to it) guy today to be our backup. I don't feel comfortable with counting on Missi or JRE to play real minutes.

We will be able to get a minimum guy. They are not any team's priority in this early FA period. Griff is swinging for a trade to get at least 2 bigs out the deal I believe. Hopefully, we get in on any Utah deal for Kessler and maybe even John Collins as a backup. That would ideal for trading away B.I. plus picks.

I don't think it's even debatable. And that's the frustration because the talent is so apparent. If he had an ounce of dog he could be a real star. But I don't think that's a trait that can be manifested unfortunately.

As someone who uses "hemp products" somewhat frequently, I can see how being a stoner can make one passive. I suggest that he replace his weed habit with testosterone injections.

It was pretty funny when he did an interview saying that every thing in his life revolves around playing basketball, then said he wouldn’t play unless he is 100% healthy like a couple months later.
