I wonder, if Jackson going to the Jazz will open up the ability to sign Walker Kessler for the C's.

Warriors have to know KP is at least ready to play again in the short run, right? 

I just can?t wrap my head around why anyone who is trying to stay in the hunt would give up assets for KP at this point. 
Yup

They really needed another center. Believe they were starting Horford and Green at the 4/5.

I get that, but how much time is he actually going to spend filling that hole as opposed to creating new holes?
Yup

My random guess is that they realize they aren't championship material without a miracle, so they're giving themselves a 1:10,000 chance rather than zero chance.  (Cue the Dumb & Dumber references).  Then, next summer they can sign KP cheap (like us with Vuc) and hope to compete with Butler back.

It's still wild they got as poor of a return possible for Kuminga.

Bulls signed Matt McClung. They add another guard. Somehow i feel that they?ll be sending one of their guards our way together with Vuc.

Edit: They signed him to a 2 way. Still I?m hoping one of their guards (Dosunmu perhaps) comes here together with Vuc.

I know the Warriors are supposedly out on Giannis now, but this trade makes a lot of sense if they were able to get Giannis too.

Butler and Podz plus all their draft picks for Giannis makes a lot of sense. They would be left with Curry, Moody, Giannis, KP, and Green. Horford, Payton, Post, Santos off the bench.

If I'm the Bucks, unless I love Podz, I would not do that trade, but then again those Warriors draft picks do look juicy.

Anyone else enjoy the tiny weirdo no name trades just as much as the blockbusters?  I?m just fascinated by the amount of work these guys must do to make the finances work. 
Yup

I?d love to see another too, but my top priority is that 3pm passes without Giannis to NY, Miami or Cleveland.   If I were the Pacers GM I?d be strongly considering offering a package with their their 2026 #1.  I wouldn?t love that either.
