I thought this was interesting. Surprised to see Ayton higher than Gobert on this list, though I suppose one could argue it's the result of the offensive system PHX runs and how much the ball goes through Paul and Booker.

(1) Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter: "The Cleveland Cavaliers are hiring Luke Walton as an assistant coach, sources tell ESPN. Walton joins JB Bickerstaff's coaching staff after spending five-plus years as head coach of the Lakers and Kings. Walton spent his final two seasons as a player with Cleveland a decade ago." / Twitter

Lets see what Udoka has though.
At this point, Udoka has got them further than Stevens ever did in his first year. I think what he has done after a piss-poor start has been quite impressive especially on the defensive side of the ball. No 1 defense in the association.

That's fair. I also think Stevens managed to do way more with less, especially at the beginning of his coaching career. I mean hell he took Isaiah Thomas and turned him into an MVP candidate. The last few years of his career his teams were plagued with injuries and Kyrie.
I think he recognized the talent in the locker room and that they've tuned him out. So kudos to him for stepping down and allowing them to blossom.

This shoot down of NY's chances at Mitchell based on "But MIA can make a better offer" is worthless IMO, because it assumes every team is going to do whatever they can to get every available player, and that's never the case. Is MIA at all interested in Mitchell, with his max salary? Would they really be willing to offer multiple picks? They already have invested quite heavily in their guard rotation (Lowry and Butler), and have quite a bit of talent coming through the ranks.

Would love to have Batum at the MLE if something changes. But sounds like that's still a dead end.
Wonder if there's another "Batum" out there, a skilled veteran who needs a team.

Good option. Although there are rumors Toronto would try to use him in a SnT for a big contract like Gobert. He might also be more expensive than rMLE.
Another name, pending if he will be able to play next season - Joe Ingles. I think Mavs need a couple of vets like that. Guys who can play, but you only use them in a limited role. I would definitely replace Burke and Brown with something like Dragic and Ingles.
I also like SloMo Anderson. It seems Memphis is not willing to resign him. Smart player who knows his role.
Prince, Lamb, Bjelica are some other interesting names, imho.

There's no reason for Detroit to do that. If they get a commitment from JB, they would just sign him.

Why would they trade Bey when he's one of their building blocks? They want to add more talent like Brunson or Ayton.

Frees them up to add two impact players rather than one
RE: AROUND the NBA: TOR eyeing Ayton | UTA weighing Gobert trades|Snyder out? - F Gump - 06-01-2022
It's not really a decision for the Mavs to make.
To do a SNT to DET, Brunson has to decide that's the place and the deal he wants ....then DET has to decide they will make that offer, rather than sign him outright ...and if you are the Mavs in that situation, you obviously say yes (with the alternative being to lose him for nothing).
RE: AROUND the NBA: TOR eyeing Ayton | UTA weighing Gobert trades|Snyder out? - vfromlmf - 06-01-2022
Brunson can sign Detroit's offer for a less money but it would be financially advantageous to cooperate to get a bigger deal. Of course, trading Brunson for anything assumes he's not in the Mavs plans, but I don't think that's right. I already posted the obvious answer to offseason. You resign Brunson in Dallas, reintegrate THJ and add a center at $6 mill or less.

You are aware that DET's contractual limits with Brunson are the same whether he signs outright or arrives via sign-and-trade, yes? If you're just envisioning them clearing some cap room, there are way more desirable (and likely) ways for them to expand their cap room than to give up a high draft pick or Bey. And if they were intent on giving up those assets, either could easily be sold at any time, for draft pick or picks in return that count $0 cap, and cash that counts $0 cap, anytime they wanted.
