League sources expect the Jazz and Pelicans to be aggressive in pursuing trades this summer with their mountains of picks. And the Thunder have more assets than anyone else, giving them the ability to trump just about any offer for any player.

It would be cool if the team name were on the block.

I always expect us to take calls. It’s about Griff actually pulling the trigger is what’s the issue

Hopefully they are aggressive with one another…no diddy

Sounds like a perfect set up to have rumors referencing every big name star and do absolutely nothing.

He also said BI and picks will likely be dangled

Everyone "EXPECTS" them to be aggressive in trade market due to team situation, future draft picks, young talent roster, etc.
But will they be....is the question

Sexton and Lauri for BI?
Posted on 4/30/24 at 10:33 pm to Fun Bunch
The Murray + Center deal for BI and a 1st was where i would’ve made my move..CJ going back to his natural catch and shoot position at the 2 with Trey stepping into that staring role at the 3. But i get the hesitation - we were on a roll but mannn.
Look, just get a PG this summer. Any of these may work IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ROLES:
Chris Paul - honestly, what would it realistically take? He on a no guaranteed 30mil deal for next yr..that ain’t happening. Imagine him being the Mike Conley of our squad..it would be perfect. He’s a floor general who will murder opposing defenses if they sag.
Gabe Vincent - LA may try to accumulate picks to use in a different trade if they run it back.
Colin Sexton - he’s my pick, go get him.
OR
Jordan Clarkson - not sure if he’s a fit but he can absolutely score from the PG position.
VanFleet? Extremely expensive but would you take him if available for CJ or BI?
Just get a legit point guard to orchestrate the offense and it’ll all come together.

Well that was a crap ending. Good season, but Pels for sure, have peaked with the current roster. The outcome was predictable, but the way it played out with the Pels being the butt of National jokes stings. I say predictable due to the janky roster construction. Griff and Langdon constructed an imbalanced roster full of wings, limited primary ballhandlers, and lead-footed post-play and still tallied 49 wins.
I'm not inclined to blow the team up, but what we know is that the team desperately needs a primary ball handler who can shoot above the arc, defend reasonably and distribute the ball to positions for players to just finish a play (easier and more efficient). Additionally, Pels need stout rim protection that can space the floor (horizontally or vertically) while operating in an up-tempo scheme.
Pels should put to bed the notion of Point Zion or BI as the primary ballhandler, neither can withstand the physical demands of the position. For those that look at the record and high points, all one has to do is look at the number of critical turnovers in games that mattered and both being physically compromised going into the playoffs as proof. That was the season in a nutshell.
Pels need one if not two solid frontcourt players in the worse way. Not opposed to keeping either Val or Nance, but both are situational players at this point of their careers. Target a frontcourt player that provides rim protection, can defend on the perimeter, and can reasonably space will take this team to another level. It really should have been done last offseason or at the trade deadline.
Pels have the assets to fill both needs without gutting the roster. As I count, the Pels have Lakers, Bucks, and their own 1st. round picks; Val or Nance's salary, and an abundance of wings to get this done. Pels can add a primary ballhandler and a modern pivot while keeping a core of Zion, BI, Herb, TM3, Dyson, and Hawk.
The key for me is to not waver with its core. Recent history as an example are the Nuggets who were tempted to scuttle their roster after disappointing runs but held firm with a core of Joker, Gordon, Murray, KCP, and MPJ. They continued to upgrade on the margins and It has paid dividends for them and it could as well for the Pels.
