Bucks-Pistons

Bucks get ivey, duren, harris, 4 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps

Pistons get giannis

Cade
Beasley
Thompson
Giannis
Stewart

An up and coming team would be perfect for Giannis and the Bucks look to rebuild by getting 2 young high potential players and picks

03 Apr 2025 11:27:14
So the Mavs basically traded Luka for that garbage?

03 Apr 2025 15:31:41
not my mistake they traded Luka.
What can you get for a 32 year old injury prone player?
And what team has the assets to get him? He's only useful for a contender.

Dallas has two options. Pay Irving and built around him and Davis or start a rebuilt. Dallas own their 25 and 26 pick, so they have a two year window to rebuilt. (they don't own the 27 pick and there are swap options on their 28-29-30 pick)

07 Apr 2025 15:19:11
This trade can’t happen without a GM change in Dallas. there is no was he can admit it’s this level of, a, fail and keep his job.

Detroit
C:Duren
Pf:Markannen
SF:A Thompson

Markkanen would be a great get for the Pistons.

03 Feb 2025 16:40:20
You'd rather give up Turner?

03 Feb 2025 17:55:44
Management doesn't want to gove him a New contract.

03 Feb 2025 20:56:40
Really can't picture Indy giving up Turner, a 1st, and a 2nd for a couple of role players.

02 Feb 2025 03:18:15
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter
Hawks get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and two 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)
Pistons get: Vít Krejčí

Why?
Cavs add a tall wing, and we duck the tax.
Hawks get cap relief and a few seconds.
Pistons add another shooter on a great contract.

02 Feb 2025 18:58:08
Can’t see this happening. You are offering two players that are substantially below the talent level from the Hawk’s you are getting in return. They cost about the same this year and could then leave. So it’s really just a salary dump for Cleveland. Lastly, the two draft picks are of little value since both will likely be near the end of the second round.

01 Feb 2025 16:28:20

01 Feb 2025 18:34:27
Wow, you rarely see big trades that make sense. You really put a lot of thought into this one, it looks pretty decent overall.

01 Feb 2025 22:42:33
Pistons don't need Butler's attitude and the trash filler with it. better to keep Tek and Ausar.

02 Feb 2025 01:51:04
A lot of issues here but especially problematic for Detroit.

01 Feb 2025 10:51:47
1)Indy-Detroit-Bucks
Indy: Giannis
Detroit: J wallace
Bucks: P Siakam+ 1rnd pick 28-30 Indy+ 1rnd pick 27 Detroit

2) Portland-Bucks
Bucks: J grant+ return swap option 1rnd pick 2030
Portland: Middleton+ 1rnd pick Indy 28

3) Bucks-Detroit
Bucks: M Beasly
Det: Portis+ return 1rnd pick Det 27

Bucks:
C:Lopez
PF:Siakam
Sf:Grant
SG:M Beasly
PG:D Lillard

01 Feb 2025 11:27:38
1 and 3 are terrible for the Bucks with the end result turning them into a team who has to fight to make the playoffs.

01 Feb 2025 19:27:37
If the Bucks trade Giannis, it will be for a full rebuild not like this.

01 Feb 2025 22:43:29
who tf is J Wallace and why tf do u have Detroit trading a 1st for him? are you stupid?

23 Jan 2025 10:17:00
GS rebuild

GS-Houston

GS- Fred VanVleet, Reed Sheppard, 4 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps

Houston- Stephen Curry

Curry-Holiday
Green-Thompson
Brooks-Tate
Smith Jr-Eason
Sengun-Adams


GS-Detroit

GS- Tobias Harris, Ron Holland & 1st round picks with protection

Detroit- Draymond Green, Gary Payton, 2nd round picks

Cunningham-Sasser
Ivey-Payton
Hardaway-Beasley
Green-Fontecchio
Duren-Stewart

GS gets plenty of picks and 2 young backcourt guys

23 Jan 2025 14:07:16
GSW is not giving up Curry without getting at least 2 proven and high potential young players. Sheppard is not that yet and a deal wont happen unless 2 of Eason, Amen, J. Green, Jabari Smith is included.

23 Jan 2025 23:24:58
hold TF up. Harris, Holland and a 1st for D. Green? hell to the NO.

24 Jan 2025 00:23:25
Add Eason and I think it's closer.

21 Jan 2025 16:57:34
Wolves: J Collins
Detroit: J Randle
Utah: T Harris+ 2rnd pick Det+ return 2rnd pick Utah (from the Wolves)

21 Jan 2025 17:04:10
Randle might not be that good but he is worth more than Collins.

21 Jan 2025 21:38:07
So was KAT over Randle, but the Wolves want to save money.
Collins is on a good contract and the Wolves need a second scorer.

21 Jan 2025 21:40:20
Vooch is cheap and Warriors need a guy like him. Kuminga is overrated.

22 Jan 2025 17:28:59
Pretty good trade, Randle could help the Pistons and Collins is a good fit in Minny.

23 Jan 2025 02:02:25
Robbery for the Pistons. Harris is bad.

13 Jan 2025 14:03:16
The Raptors as a facilitator in a Butler trade



Miami trades: Jimmy Butler, Pelle Larson
Miami receives: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Jalen Hood-Schifino, DET 2029 1st, LAL 2030 2nd

Toronto trades: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Davion Mitchell
Toronto receives: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd via DET, DET 2031 1st (top 10 prot)

Detroit trades: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd, 2029 1st, 2031 1st (top 10 prot)
Detroit receives: Jimmy Butler, Christian Wood, Pelle Larson

Lakers trade: Jalen Hood-Schifino, Christian Wood, LAC 2025 2nd, 2030 2nd
Lakers receive: Davion Mitchell


Why the Heat do this: Trade Butler and save 10 million while gaining good assets. JHS can be a prospect and Brown could easily net additional value.

Adebayo/Ware/Love
Jovic/Olynyk/Johnson
Brown/Highsmith/JHS
Robinson/Jaquez/Richardson
Herro/Rozier/Burks

Why the Raptors do this: They're rebuilding so sell their older players and take on some contracts for assets.

Poeltl/Boucher
Barnes/Harris/Mogbo
Barrett/Agbaji/Fontecchio
Dick/Hardaway/Walter
Quickley/Shead/Temple

Why the Pistons do this: Get a star in Butler to pair with Cade, while not giving too much for a player of his calibre.

Duren/Stewart/Reed
Thompson/Wood/Klintman
Butler/Holland/Moore
Ivey/Beasley/Larson
Cunningham/Sasser

Why the Lakers do this: Get a real, defensively solid PG while not giving up a first, bolstering their rotation.

Davis/Hayes/Koloko
Finney-Smith/Vanderbilt
James/Knecht/Reddish
Reaves/Christie/James
Mitchell/Vincent/Milton


Thoughts?

13 Jan 2025 21:33:58
I don't hate it but Will Butler go to Detroit?

13 Jan 2025 22:48:30
Toronto getting way too much this is lopsided asf.

14 Jan 2025 00:25:30
I didn't notice both 1sts. Take out the 1st going to Toronto.

15 Jan 2025 12:32:00
Good for Lakers, good value for TOR, bad for DET given the fit. A team that got better by surrounding Cade with more shooters around him to trade 3 of them for a suspect one in Butler (40% in small volume this year but historically not good) seems wrong.

30 Jan 2025 16:41:49
Not great but ok.

08 Jan 2025 01:16:50
Miami Heat / Phoenix Suns / Detroit Pistons

Miami Heat: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr, Ryan Dunn, 1st Suns.

Phoenix Suns: Jimmy Butler, Alec Burks.

Detroit Pistons: Bradley Beal.

08 Jan 2025 22:43:21
ok so what do the Pistons get for taking that crazy contract?

07 Jan 2025 18:37:09
Miami Heat / Chicago Bulls / Golden State Warriors / Phoenix Suns / Detroit Pistons / Denver Nuggets

Miami Heat: Tim Hardaway Jr, Michael Porter Jr., Tobias Harris.

Chicago Bulls: Jusuf Nurkić, Ryan Dunn, Oso Ighodaro, Zeke Nnaji, Andrew Wiggins, 1st Warrior, 1st Suns, 2st Nuggets.

Detroit Pistons: Bradley Beal.

Denver Nuggets: Zach Lavine.

07 Jan 2025 19:24:48
Illegal.

03 Jan 2025 10:07:49
What is better for Miami?

PiSTONS get Jimmy Butler
HEAT get Brandon Ingram and Tim Hardaway
PELICANS get Isaiah Stewart, Ausar Thompson and Kevin Love

or

PISTONS get Jimmy Butler
HEAT get Zach LaVine and 1st round pick from Pistons
BULLS get Ausat Thompson, Tim Hardaway and Simone Fontechio.

03 Jan 2025 15:37:01
Not good.

04 Jan 2025 17:20:05
you smoking crack if you think the Pistons would trade Ausar AND a 1st round pick for a washed Butler.

02 Jan 2025 22:21:29
GS - SAC - DET

To GS: DeAron Fox, Trey Lyles
- gets a star player next to Curry and will eventually be his heir
- have to trade Dennis when he's eligible to be traded

Fox - Schroder
Curry - Payton - Waters
Moody - Anderson
Green - Lyles
Jackson-Davis - Looney

To SAC: Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski, Isaiah Stewart, Tim Hardaway Jr (exp), 2 1sts from GS, 1st from DET lottery protected, pick swap from GS
- gets an athletic forward and a new young pg they can develop + picks to retool

Ellis - Podziemski - McLaughlin
Derozan - Hardaway
Murray - Huerter
Kuminga - McDermott
Sabonis - Stewart

To DET: Andrew Wiggins, Alex Len
- take Wiggins' contract but i believe they can use him and he is a better starter than Hardaway

Cunningham - Holland - Sasser
Ivey (injured) - Beasley
Wiggins - Thompson
Harris - Fontecchio
Duren - Len - Reed

04 Jan 2025 17:21:01
a 1st for Wiggins? you out your GD mind.

04 Jan 2025 17:21:55
Kuminga to Detroit if they giving up Stew AND a 1st.

30 Dec 2024 22:25:19
Knicks: a Reaves
Lakers:Sabonis
Sac:Hachimura+Vanderbilt+M Robinson+ 1rnd pick 29 and 31+ swap option 26 and 30+ 1rnd pick Det 25 (top 13 protected)

08 Dec 2024 01:29:13
Cavs get: Patrick Williams and Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Simone Fontecchio, Georges Niang and 2 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets) .
Pistons get: Max Strus

Why?
I feel like this trade benefits all sides. Cavs need size at the wing, they address that in this trade.

Chicago dumps Patrick Williams, who just signed a pretty juicy 5-year contract. They also get some good role players and a couple 2nd rounders, and finally, they save some money.

Detroit adds a veteran shooter who played for Bickerstaff.

You could swap Strus for LeVert, but I honestly think LeVert is far more important than Strus. Also, LeVert played for Atkinson when he was in Brooklyn, there is some familiarity there.

11 Dec 2024 16:23:41
Detroit is already overloaded with wings. Simone fits the rotation better.

23 Nov 2024 12:48:52
Lets get beal out this time.

Pistons - Bradley Beal

Suns - Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr, Ausar Thompson.

23 Nov 2024 13:42:47
Not close for Detroit.

23 Nov 2024 14:50:19
That Beal contract is staying in Phoenix unless they stick some valuable assets to it.

23 Nov 2024 17:33:42
Wishful thinking as phoenix is my team

23 Nov 2024 19:04:06
It's not bad to dream but atleast make it fair to the other team. And will Beal approve a trade?

03 Nov 2024 01:35:47
Cavs get: Brandon Ingram, Ziaire Williams, Day'Ron Sharpe and Jalen Wilson
Pelicans get: Max Strus, Isaiah Stewart, Jaylon Tyson and 2031 unprotected first via Cavs.
Nets get: Georges Niang, Jordan Hawkins and 3 2nds ('25 Mil, '27 Denver via Cavs and '27 Chi via NOP.
Pistons get: Caris LeVert, Antonio Reeves and '25 Cavs 2nd.

Why?
Cavs add a potential star wing and add much needed size.
Pes get a good return from Ingram and a starting C.
Nets get a decent package, a promising player and 3 2nds for their rebuild.
Pistons add a player in LeVert who is familiar with Bickerstaff.

Ingram has to agree to a max extension with Cleveland in order for the trade to happen.

03 Nov 2024 08:02:40
This is freakin horrible for Pelicans. I thought it was a return for Ingram alone, then I see Jordan Hawkins. Lmao.

03 Nov 2024 16:59:23
My apologies, @USA. I was using the Fanspo trade machine, saw that Hawkins had a poor LeBron and figured he wasn't that good.

I haven't seen him play at all.

03 Nov 2024 17:48:16
Just stop already. You’re not getting Ingram without Allen.

28 Oct 2024 19:14:15
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter and Jalen Duren
Hawks get: Georges Niang and Marcus Sasser
Pistons get: Max Strus and Jaylon Tyson

Why?
Cavs add a starting small forward and a third big.
Hawks unload Hunter, add a coach favorite and a prospect.
Pistons add a shooter and a prospect.

PG: Darius Garland / Ty Jerome / Craig Porter Jr.
SG: Donovan Mitchell / Caris LeVert / Sam Merrill
SF: De'Andre Hunter / Isaac Okoro
PF: Evan Mobley / Dean Wade
C: Jarrett Allen / Jalen Duren / Tristan Thompson
Coach: Kenny Atkinson.

29 Oct 2024 21:00:12
Crazy good for Cleveland and crazy bad for Detroit.
