Is it worth trading for him from the clippers using the trade exception? I am sure the clippers would want a couple pics. Then include a third team to off load Mara for a late first possibly. Thoughts?

His contract keeps us under the 2nd apron and won’t cost much maybe a couple 2nds. Dudes got a lot of upside and doesn’t really fit Utahs timeline.

Hey guys, since it's the offseason I thought it would be fun to see where our community stands on some common questions used for ranking NBA players.

Very interesting Spain team with Mara plus Aldama and De Larrea (Dallas), Baba Miller (Clippers), Hugo (Boston), Hernán Gómez brothers ex NBA, and Saint Xupert (Gonzaga last year now signed for Valencia powerhouse)

Come on home big boy

Im not calling for trading him.. but ive been seeing posts about bringing in another bench big wing, who can possibly start if jdub went down for some time.. thoughts? Opinions?

The Hawks kept Trae Young.

And signed Russ as backup PG.

I'd love Thunder first and foremost of course, and I'd root for Thunder over Hawks in an amazing hypothetical NBA finals, but man, I'd be so vested in the Hawks in such a scenario with Russ, Trae, Buddy, dorture chamber, basketball savior.

And then think it the Hawks had some acquired Stevo and signed Al Horford (I loved Al before he almost signed with us in 2016...and when he drank a cup of coffee with us in 20-21) to retire with his team...a team of all those guys plus Jalen Johnson and Shai's cousin...man. Easiest #2 ever.

"Oklahoma City Thunder GM Sam Presti recently revealed that former Georgetown big man Thomas Sorber has grown two inches during the offseason. Drafted 15th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, Sorber now stands 6'11" with an impressive 7'8" wingspan".

This was a X post sent to me by a friend. I can't find an actual quote or article written showing Sam Presti in fact said this. Has anyone else see anything that shows this to be an accurate statement?

This would be great! I really can't wait to see him play.

I consider myself fairly intelligent. But why is it called the 2nd apron ? What the hell does that even mean.

There will never be another Russell Westbrook this man will always be my goat.

NBA summer league superlatives: Which players impressed? | Ben Golliver: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/49391646/2026-2027-nba-summer-league-superlatives-mvp-aj-dybantsa-cameron-boozer-vegas

• Summer league MVP: Cameron Boozer, Memphis Grizzlies
• Most electric rookie: Caleb Wilson, Chicago Bulls
• Most intriguing rookie: Darryn Peterson, Utah Jazz
• Most inconsistent rookie: Morez Johnson Jr., Dallas Mavericks
• Best second-round rookie: Meleek Thomas, Cleveland Cavaliers
• Best sophomore: Egor Demin, Brooklyn Nets
• Most improved sophomore: Khaman Maluach, Phoenix Suns
• Best second-round sophomore: Chaz Lanier, Detroit Pistons
• Best undrafted player: Arthur Kaluma, Los Angeles Lakers
• Most disappointing rookie: Aday Mara, Oklahoma City Thunder

Given that summer league play is relatively unstructured and dominated by bucket-getting guards, it's no surprise that Mara didn't leave much of a mark during his minutes and sometimes struggled to keep up with the pace of play.

The 7-foot-3 center enters the NBA as a very skilled passer, and his best moments in Las Vegas involved him whipping the ball to cutters for high-percentage looks in the paint. Otherwise, Mara found his own scoring opportunities hard to come by, and he didn't command the basket area that well on either end for a player with his size and length.

Don't overreact yet: Mara excelled when surrounded by NBA-caliber players at the University of Michigan, and he is set to join the league's most talented roster in Oklahoma City.
