    I can’t see us making a play for Zion, Mitchell and certainly not Lamelo.

    Zion isn’t worth it, Mitchell wouldn’t play for us and neither would Lamelo (cost would be unreal).

    Tyrese Hally was the play to make, but clearly we didn’t have what the Kings wanted or were willing to make a substantial offer for him.

    I feel that. I’ve moved beyond it all considering we did nothing except own their ass when we were contenders. Now that we’re in the lottery I don’t hold any animosity toward any player

    regardless of Wolves’ history, it’s for KAT to determine how he approaches his career. Hats off to KAT if he endeavors to alter the narrative.

    Totally agree with you. It would need to be numerous moves if we were to trade for Mitchell.

    I like Lamelo, can’t see the hornets parting ways but I like his skill set. Could be a nice piece for this team, any team.

    C’mon man don’t fall for this fake PR stuff the Rockets put out on an annual basis. By the way we ain’t getting Lamelo Ball….keep fantasizing.

    Are you not giving him at least a little bit of credit for that? Yeah I'm assuming nobody darker than me wants to live in Utah, is that incorrect?

    Willing to roll with whoever is available. Mitchell - Green - Tate - 1/3 - Sengun is a shitload better team than what we offer now. Year after that we roll into the offseason with a max contract available too. Porter, Martin, Christopher, Nix, Mathews, Garuba bench? Things could be a lot worse than that.

    No but I believe him when he says Utah is smelly.
