17 Feb 2025 15:42:57
Sixers: J Poole+ Middleton
Wizards: P George+ Oubre+ 1rnd pick clippers 26 (or swap with Thunder)+ 1rnd pick clippers 28

20 Feb 2025 21:11:05
This makes sense. George has no trade value with that contract.

02 Feb 2025 14:36:26
Los Angeles Lakers / Chicago Bulls

Los Angeles Lakers: Nikola Vucević, Jevon Carter.

Chicago Bulls: Gabe Vicent, Dalton Knecht, Maxi Kleber, 1rnd pick

02 Feb 2025 19:39:00
Take out Knecht or the first, and it's probably still too much.

02 Feb 2025 20:04:19
Overvaluing Vooch much? No wag i give Dalton for him.

04 Feb 2025 13:16:28
19/ 10 plus a shooting big is more valuable to lakers than any rookie in their roster.

27 Jan 2025 22:25:02

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 08:38:49
The Jimmy Butler saga so far

-Jimmy wants Phoenix & GS, doesnt want Memphis or Bucks who have shown interest in him

-GS prioritize size over him and unwilling to deal wiggins & kuminga for him
- Phoenix can match the salary by trading Beal (they will not trade either Booker or Durant ofcourse)
- Beal is willing to waive his no trade clause for Miami but the Heat dont want his contract
- No one might be willing to take Beal's contract (maybe only small market teams which Beal could turn down)
- Can trade him to Sixers for a reunion but need to give up PG (the Heat needs to approve if they want)
- Rockets and Mavs could push a trade but are they willing to destroy their Chemistry for this guy?
- Clippers can package Mann, Powell & others but Miami would want more

What do you guys think about this?

08 Jan 2025 14:29:20
As a Blazer fan, I think it’s hilarious. And I think they should “do right by Butler and send him to the team he wants, regardless of the return they get”. Pretty sure I heard those words on repeat for an entire summer from Heat fans.

09 Jan 2025 20:41:53
I think the Heat will end up disappointed with the return they get.

18 Dec 2024 18:21:53
Portland firesale

Portland-Los Angeles Lakers

Portland receives: DAngelo Russell, Jarred Vanderbilt, 1st round pick, 1st round pick swap

Los Angeles receive: Deandre Ayton

Portland-Sacramento

Portland receives: Kevin Huerter, Trey Lyles, 1st round pick & 2nd round pick

Sacramento receives: Jerami Grant

Portland - Brooklyn

Portland receives: Ben Simmons (exp) & 1st round pick

Brooklyn receives: Anfernee Simons, Mattise Thybule & 3 2nds

19 Dec 2024 12:53:22
This is believable to all trades but the Brooklyn trade you are giving up your best player plus Mattise thybule and 3 2nds round picks for someone as bad as Ben Simmons and 1 1st round pick from Brooklyn you would need Simmons and 3 1st round picks to get that trade and it is not the best you can get I would try trading that same trade but instead try to invest in a Cameron Johnson trade or Brooklyn is not worth the trade.

19 Dec 2024 22:53:13
Yeah, I’d rather just keep Simons. But if the other two are on the table, I’d take them in a heartbeat if I’m Portland.

I might take the Ayton deal without picks.

21 Dec 2024 16:18:54
Lakers taking on too much salary.

28 Nov 2024 13:37:52

Clippers:
C:Zubac
PF:Zion

SG:Mann
PG:Harden

28 Nov 2024 15:03:28
No way, Zion ain’t gonna play good with zubac, spacing problem.

08 Nov 2024 22:19:09

Chicago Bulls are going nowhere, they should just rebuild around young players like Giddey, White & Dosonmu and trade away their vets for the best possible deal they can get

Lavine's value is low to negative due to his contract and injury concerns, there might be a few teams that will have an interest like Lakers, Hornets or even the Clippers

Vooch can still help a contender, he has value of a late first or few seconds maybe

Lonzo could be unloaded too with his expiring contract

Let me try some deals:

Charlotte-Chicago-San Antonio 3-way deal

Charlotte acquires: Zach Lavine, Blake Wesley
- they need a big name for the city, if healthy, the starting 5 could be a fun team to watch with athleticism all around

Ball - Mann - Curry
Lavine - Micic
Miller - Wesley
Bridges - Smith - Salaun
Williams - Richards

Chicago acquires: Zach Collins, Josh Green, Grant Williams, Cody Martin & 1st round pick from Spurs

Giddey - Lonzo - Carter
White - Dosonmu - THT
Williams - Martin - Green
Williams - Buzelis
Smith - Collins


Spurs acquires: Nikola Vucevic, 2nd round picks from Bulls & Hornets
- with Sochan out, Wemby can move to pf position and let Vooch man the paint

Paul - Jones
Vassell - Castle - Champagnie
Barnes - Johnson - Branham
Wembanyama - Bassey
Vucevic - Mamukelashvili

07 Nov 2024 19:05:22
Not a good trade for Chicago if they dont get their own 2025 pick back from SA.

03 Nov 2024 17:37:06
Thunder: Giannis
Bucks: Hartenstein+K Williams+ J Williams+ 1rnd pick Clippers/Hou or Thunder 25-27+ 1rnd pick Miami 25+ 1rnd pick Philly 25+ 1rnd pick Clippers 26+1rnd pick Thunder 28+ 1rnd pick Denver 29

Thunder
C:Holmgren
PF:Giannis
SF:Dort
SG:Wiggins
PG:SGA

04 Nov 2024 17:45:07
I don't think anyone beats this offer. Good trade.

28 Oct 2024 08:11:53
Heat:K Leonard

Clippers: J Grant+T Herro

Portland: Tucker+D robinson+Larson+ 1rnd pick Heat 2029

21 Oct 2024 00:11:39
CHA - LAC - POR - MIA

CHA: Tyler Herro
- gets a dynamic SG to pair with Ball & Miller

Ball
Herro
Miller
Bridges
Williams

LAC: Jerami Grant, Duncan Robinson, 1st round pick & swap with MIA
- gives James Harden a new running mate instead of just waiting for Kawhi to have any interest again

Harden
Mann
Jones Jr
Grant
Zubac

POR: Grant Williams, Josh Green, 1st round pick MIA & CHA
- get assets for Grant

Henderson
Simons
Sharpe
Avdija
Ayton

MIA: Kawhi Leonard
- the only logical place for Kawhi that I can think of right now. Wont give much though

Rozier
Butler
Leonard
Jovic
Adebayo

21 Oct 2024 12:07:12
Without looking at if the money works, I actually like this quite a bit. I've been thinking about Kawhi to Miami for a while now.

21 Oct 2024 13:59:59
Hornets give up two rotation guys and a first for Herro? Wow so ball Herro defense will work?

25 Oct 2024 13:35:58
That charlotte pick should be lottery protected.

19 Oct 2024 21:42:54
LAC-BKN-CHI

LAC: Zach Lavine, Dorean-Finney Smith
- give Harden pieces to compete

Harden-Porter-Dunn
Lavine-Powell
Mann-Batum
Jones Jr-DFS
Zubac-Jones-Bamba

BKN: Kawhi Leonard, Bones Hyland
- let Kawhi sit and try to build for next year

CHI: Ben Simmons (exp), 1st round pick BKN
- get out of Lavine's massive deal

20 Oct 2024 20:58:22
Not the direction Brooklyn is going in and Kawhi could flat out refuse to go there.

16 Oct 2024 08:54:16
Denver Nuggets go all in:

Denver trades: Michael Porter Jr, Zeke Nnaji, Daron Holmes, 2 1st round picks
Denver gets: Kawhi Leonard

Healthy Murray-Kawhi-Jokic in the playoffs is unbeatable

Murray
Braun
Leonard
Gordon
Jokic

Westbrook, Watson, Strawther, Jordan

Clippers trade: Kawhi Leonard, PJ Tucker,
Clippers get: Michael Porter Jr, Bruce Brown, 1st round pick via Denver
- goes run and gun and let Harden be the man

Harden
Mann
Jones Jr
Porter Jr
Zubac

Porter, Dunn, Powell, Batum, Brown, Coffey, Bamba

Raptors trade: Bruce Brown
Raptors get: PJ Tucker (waive), Daron Holmes, Zeke Nnaji, 1st round pick via Nuggets
- get something for Bruce Brown

11 Oct 2024 14:53:27
Clippers - Warriors - Nuggets

Clippers get Wiggins, Jackson-Davis, Moody, 2 1sts from Warriors, 2nd from Nuugets

Warriors get Leonard, Nnaji

Nuggets get Payton

The trade might not happen because they are rivals but Steph-Kawhi can make one to two years championship run together

Nuggets add defense at guard position

Clippers are going nowhere

15 Oct 2024 08:13:56
it's not going to happen, but i like this trade idea.

07 Oct 2024 13:21:35
Midseason deal

Cleveland - LAClippers - New Orleans

Cleveland - Kawhi Leonard, Amir Coffey

Darius Garland - Craig Porter
Donovan Mitchell - Sam Merrill
Kawhi Leonard - Emoni Bates
Amir Coffey - Georges Niang
Evan Mobley - Dean Wade

LA Clippers - Brandon Ingram, Caris Levert & 1st round pick from Cleveland & New Orleans (protected), pick swap from Cleveland

James Harden - Kris Dunn - Kevin Porter
Terrence Mann - Caris Levert
Brandon Ingram - Norman Powell
Derrick Jones Jr - Nic Batum
Ivica Zubac - Mo Bamba

New Orleans - Jarrett Allen, Max Strus, Bones Hyland, 2 2nds from Cleveland

Dejounte Murray - Jose Alvarado
CJ McCollum - Bones Hyland - Jordan Hawkins
Trey Myrphy - Max Strus
Zion Williamson - Herb Jones
Jarrett Allen - Daniel Theis

07 Oct 2024 19:12:29
Cavs aren't trading Allen. They hired his former coach.

07 Oct 2024 23:46:14
If the Cavs want to win, they should be willing to make a move like this. Like what Toronto did. Pretty decent imo.

07 Oct 2024 23:53:01
Kawhi has glass knees. Trading for him is a huge risk.

08 Oct 2024 14:59:31
High risk, high reward.

05 Oct 2024 14:16:08
Lakers and Warriors are the most fan favorite teams, here are the possible starting lineup and depth

Lakers:
Russell-Reeves-Vanderbilt-LeBron-Davis
Bench:Vincent-Christie-Knecht-Hachimura-Hayes-Bronny-Reddish
(If uninjured, Jared is better in chemistry and defender rather than Rui.. and Rui will provide firepower to 2nd unit)

Warriors:
Curry-Wiggins-Kuminga-Green-JacksonDavis
Bench: Melton-Podziemski-Hield-Anderson-Looney-Payton-Moody
(Podziemski vs Kuminga, I want the size and quickness of the starting lineup with their 3 best veterans)

Add,
Clippers:
Harden-Mann-Leonard-Jones-Zubac
Bench: Dunn-Powell-Porter-Coffey-Batum-Hyland-Bamba
(Giving a chance for Porter to play and Tucker no longer have playing time due to Batum on the team)

28 Sep 2024 00:43:06
Clippers - Hawks - Knicks

Clippers get Julius Randle

Harden / Hyland / Dunn
Kawhi / Porter
Batum / Powell
Randle / Jones Jr
Zubac / Coffey / Bamba

Hawks get Terrence Mann, PJ Tucker, Jericho Sims, 2nd round pick Clippers

Young / Bufkin
Mann / Bogdanovic
Rissacher / Daniels / Roddy
Johnson / Hunter / Tucker
Okongwu / Nance Jr / Sims

New York get Clint Capela, Garrison Matthews & 2nd round pick Clippers

Brunson / Payne / McBride
Hart / Matthews
Bridges / Divincenzo / Okeke
Anunoby / Achiuwa / Toppin
Capela / Robinson
