NBA rumours 2

22 Nov 2025 23:48:22
Cavs get: Danny Wolf and Drake Powell
Nets get: Max Strus and 4 2nds

Why?
Cavs get a couple interesting prospects and save money.
Nets get 4 2nd round picks.

24 Nov 2025 12:36:19
Lmao 0% chance the nets would do his Powell has shown he has potential and wolf is solid. They’re rebuilding they don’t need to add a 30 year old 1 dimensional player for 2nds for 2 guys just drafted in the 1st round when they have 14 2nd rounders in the next 5 years.

24 Nov 2025 19:13:11
Huge no from the Nets and also it doesn't help the Cavs who are trying to win now.

22 Nov 2025 18:44:32
Cavs get: Cam Thomas
Nets get: Max Strus and 4 2nds

Why?
Cavs add bench help and save a lot of money.
Nets get 4 2nd round picks.

Pels-Hawks

Hawks get Trey Murphy, Jordan Hawkins

Pels get Risacher, Kennard, their own '26 pick back

Pels can officially tank and add Risacher to a young core of Fears and Queen.

Hawks get a starting 3 who fits perfectly with what they are doing around Trae.

Trae/NAW
Dyson/NAW/Hawkins
Murphy/Dyson/Krejic
Jalen/Gueye
KP/Okongwu

Murphy is not worth that; you're talking about last years number 1 pick and a potential hall of famer in next years draft.

24 Nov 2025 12:51:35
@Nightcap - those are fair points. My counter would be that Risacher might have been a #1 pick, but he does not have the talent or potential of one. As for the pick, it very well could turn into a hall of famer. It could just as easily fall to #7 and be a complete unknown. I think the Pelicans are probably a little bit better than their record would indicate right now and they have no incentive to tank like Washington, Brooklyn, Indiana, etc. Even if they do end up with the worst record, it’s still only a 50% chance you get one of those three guys.

24 Nov 2025 19:14:02
I also don't think Murphy is all that great.

22 Nov 2025 06:00:49

This does feel like a Pels move. And it’s just so bad. Add another oft injured starter? Heck yeah! Give up even more of their future to try to win now with a team not close to talented enough to win? You know it!

20 Nov 2025 23:59:28

ORL-WAS

ORL get McCollum (exp)
WAS get A. Black, T. Jones, Isaac

ORL gets another dynamic playmaker while trading depth

WAS gets a flier on Black while taking vets that can flip them later for more assets. (Both Isaac and T. Jones have started rough but they may bounce back) .

Bane/ CJ
Suggs/ J. Richardson
F. Wagner/ DaSilva
Banchero/ J. Howard
Carter/ Bitadze.

20 Nov 2025 23:16:11
They're not trading Black for CJ, he's an important piece for Orlando.

20 Nov 2025 13:07:37
IND gets Holland, Klintman, T. Harris (exp) +2 1st from DET
DET gets: Siakam

DET get their Second Star, one that doesn't hinder their def. ID (p. e Markkanen)

IND get young wings to retool around Hali
(they do not need a guard like Ivey) .

Cade/ Ivey
D. Robinson/ LeVert
Ausar/ J. Green
Siakam/ BeefStew
Duren/ Reed.

22 Nov 2025 14:54:49
I love Siakam and I think he'd be an amazing fit alongside Cade. I'm just wondering if:
a) Indy wants to rebuild/ retool
b) Detroit would want to give up Holland.

19 Nov 2025 07:02:12
NOP/PHX/IND

NOP get Benedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard, Royce Oneale & 1st round pick PHX
- I dont know how to value Zion at all but here the Pels add some good pieces to build with Murphy and Herb Jones. They should trade Poole and Murray after this though

Pg Nembhard/Hawkins (Murray)
Sg Mathurin/Fears (Poole)
Sf Jones/Oneale/Bey
Pf Murphy/Queen
Ce Missi/Looney/Matkovic

PHX get Pascal Siakam & Jose Alvarado
- gets a star vet player to go with Booker and company and a gritty point guard

Pg Booker/Alvarado/Gillespie
Sg Allen/Goodwin
Sf Brooks/Dunn
Pf Siakam/Ighodaro
Ce Williams/Richards/Maluach

IND get Zion Williamson & Jalen Green
- a super risky move but a jackpot if they can get it together. Haliburton-Green-Zion would be fun to watch (yeah they need to stay healthy)

Pg Haliburton/McConnell
Sg Nesmith/Sheppard
Sf Green/Furphy
Pf Williamson/Toppin
Ce Jackson/Huff/Bradley

19 Nov 2025 14:55:20
Awful for Indy.
