Milwaukee Bucks Rumours

11 Aug 2024 02:34:12
Cleveland receives: Rui Hachimura
Los Angeles receives: Georges Niang, Ty Jerome and 4 2nds (2025 Cavs and Bucks, 2026 Cavs and 2027 Nuggets)

Why?
Cavs get a wing. Hachimura is pretty skilled, and I think he still has room to grow.
Los Angeles gets a few 2nds and unload his contract for cap flexibility.

PG: Darius Garland / Craig Porter Jr.
SG: Donovan Mitchell / Max Strus / Sam Merrill
SF: Rui Hachimura / Caris LeVert / Jaylon Tyson
PF: Evan Mobley / Dean Wade / Luke Travers
C: Jarrett Allen / Khalifa Diop
Coach: Kenny Atkinson

Why so many seconds? Initially, I thought about a Strus for Hachimura straight swap as it made sense for both teams. However, Strus is easily our best shooter and losing him could hurt us. His floor spacing is very important for this team.

Interesting but not legal.

03 Aug 2024 15:15:42
I think it's legal.
It works on Fanspo.

04 Aug 2024 00:32:28
It's so illegal that it's illegal for both teams.

04 Aug 2024 01:05:48
Suns can't aggregate salary and Jones can't be traded until mid-season.

04 Aug 2024 17:49:32
After that, giannis says i'm out.

16 Jul 2024 14:06:23
The nets are tanking they’re not looking for a star who is projected to get 45 million a year on his next deal. There’s a reason they haven’t added any free agents and their projected win total is 19.5 they want to be in the Flagg sweepstakes.

With the Kings resigning Monk, they are currently projected to be over the luxury tax by around $1 mil which will diminish the amount they receive for their MLE. So trading down or away pick #13 can resolve this issue.

Does trading down with a team with salary cap space make sense?

Barnes (82 games last 2 seasons) + #13 to Orlando for #18? Or to Philly for #16
Perhaps even trading down for both Knicks picks and using one to salary dump Barnes to say Utah.

Once Barnes is off the books, then the Kings could offer their Full MLE ($12.8 mil) to let's say Tobias Harris

This would essentially be swapping Barnes for Harris, getting a rookie in the late teens/ early twenties, and staying below the luxury tax line at the start of the season. Seems doable IMO.

22 Jun 2024 18:50:38
It makes sense but it doesn't raise their ceiling unless Murray takes a big step. Do they want to be a nice team or a contender?

22 Jun 2024 19:25:27
@Nightcap. Pretty sure no one available is going to make the Kings appear as a title contender. Maybe PG13? We are going for consistency in making playoffs and removing some of the stain of Sacramento being a sh! t organization.

24 Jun 2024 11:15:43
Can't say I disagree, and that's the Sabonis dilemma. He's great but needs certain types of players around him.

23 May 2024 04:00:19
i'd say it's a pretty big no from both the bucks and the magic.

23 May 2024 11:30:09
If that's all it took to get Lillard then Miami would already have him.

24 May 2024 15:11:25
Add in Jaquez, Jovic, and 2-3 firsts from Miami and maybe the Bucks consider it. But I don’t think the Bucks are wanting to move Dame.

I’m not trading Ingram for Murray.

10 May 2024 15:46:59
Horrible for Nola.

11 May 2024 10:20:35
If I'm New Orleans, and I have Zion, Trey, and Herb, and I need a PG, I prefer Murray over BI, especially with Murray locked up on a reasonable deal. I don't think BI is viewed the same way he was a couple of years ago.

02 May 2024 15:23:16
Yes from Pelicans. They can use draft assets and Sign and trade JV to upgrade at 5.

03 May 2024 14:45:40
You clearly are not familiar with the Hawks roster. This trade makes no sense for the Hawks.

None of the picks are high level.

01 May 2024 18:30:22
they control NY's future untill 2030 and they get their own pick back
They have two first rounders they can use to get some prospects they can develop. The Washington pick is top 8 protected in 2026 and the detroit pick is top 11 protected in 2027.
And NY is also giving up an All star

I don't think this is a bad package if Giannis wants out.
The bucks still stay competitive or they can trade Lillard, Randle and Middleton for more picks.

Cle: Bridges+Nance

13 Apr 2024 05:05:52
IDK about this from the Pels, that's an awful lot for Garland.

13 Apr 2024 13:03:13
Absolutely not from the Pels.

13 Apr 2024 19:40:54
What sucks is in 2019 the Pels traded the 4 pick to Atlanta for the 8 and 17. They could’ve had Garland instead of Hayes and NAW.

14 Apr 2024 00:19:53
Pels wont trade 2 of their best defenders for the sake of getting a point guard. They'd rather go for someone like Tyus Jones instead.

10 Apr 2024 17:36:39
Cleveland gets: Herb Jones, Jordan Hawkins, 2025 top 5 protected first (via Pels) & 2027 first (via Bucks)
New Orleans gets: Jarrett Allen

Why?
Cleveland moves Mobley to full time center, & they get a good frontcourt partner, a prospect, & two picks.
New Orleans gets their center of the future, one of the more underrated players in the league.

11 Apr 2024 10:21:31
Big fan of Allen but that's a huge overpay. Jones has a lot of value.

11 Apr 2024 16:20:15
Massive overpay. Swap Jones out for Daniels or Nance.

01 Apr 2024 13:22:04
Why would the pacers do this?

09 Apr 2024 03:00:39
to be honest, they don't have a good reason to. But for 1 team out of 15, it'd be pretty easy to transfer another first to them or something.
