NBA guard [URL="https://www.philstar.com/sports/2022/08/02/2199717/clarkson-coming-town"]Jordan Clarkson is flying to Manila with his mother Janie, brother Bear and a trainer from his Utah Jazz team to play two games for Gilas in the FIBA World Cup Asia fourth qualifying window this month.[/URL] Although the Philippines is automatically qualified to play in the World Cup as lead host, bringing in Clarkson for the window is a key step towards building a competitive lineup for the 32-nation conclave on Aug. 25 to Sept. 10 next year.

“Clarkson is definitely coming,” said Gilas head coach Chot Reyes who celebrated his birthday yesterday. “From what I know, he has an urgent appointment in the US on Aug. 15 so will leave for Manila the next day to arrive here on Aug. 18.” Reyes plans to call his first practice on Aug. 15.

interesting that all of COTM's assistants are front of the bench. Don't coaches usually hire mostly new guys?

[/URL][QUOTE]Though the Jazz lack depth at the center position, Caboclo would have needed time on the floor to develop into an NBA player, minutes that will be allocated to rookie Walker Kessler and oft-injured big man Udoka Azubuike.

Kessler's minutes should be with the Stars unless he's ready. Danny isn't done yet either

[QUOTE]That being said, a disappointing lottery pick in Avdija and an unproven rookie in Davis is not enough to move a player of Mitchell’s caliber. On top of that, the money simply does not add up since Mitchell is making well over $30 million a year and the two trade chips combine for a yearly salary of under $10 million. The Wizards would have to throw in [URL="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/porzikr01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-"]Kristaps Porzingis[/URL] as well, which they may be reluctant to do.

Speaking of the playoffs, do you still think of your loss to the Grizzlies and feel like y’all gave the series away? Anthony Edwards: Man, I feel like we handed it to them man.

On that note, where do you rank yourself amongst the best players in the league. Do you think you still need time to reach to be in that best player category? Anthony Edwards: Yeah for sure. I need another year. [URL="https://www.complex.com/sports/anthony-edwards-interview-best-player-nba"]After this year, I think I’ll be in the (best player) conversation[/URL].

KAT said y’all are championship or bust team this year, you agree and why? Anthony Edwards: For sure. [URL="https://www.complex.com/sports/anthony-edwards-interview-best-player-nba"]Adding Rudy puts that pressure on us. I agree with that[/URL].

If Edwards becomes the Wolves best player they will be tough to beat assuming Gobert doesn't start to decline
[QUOTE] Well, let’s start with this: [URL="https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2022/08/02/wait-why-would-utah-jazz-try/"]the overwhelming feeling among league insiders is that Mitchell is likely to sign outside of Utah at the first available opportunity in 2025[/URL]. Mitchell considers New York home. Mitchell has spent the majority of this offseason in New York this year. His skills trainer, Chris Brickley, operates out of a gym in the city. It makes sense that he’d be interested in living there full time.

There are other places he’s reportedly interested in — Miami being a candidate as well. [URL="https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2022/08/02/wait-why-would-utah-jazz-try/"]There’s a sense that many in Mitchell’s team would prefer he play in a larger market than Utah.[/URL] Such a market would likely earn him a bigger profile, and perhaps more money, from sponsors.

the sponsors won't care if he's not a star. Without Gobert will he even be an all-star or get a 2nd max deal?
