NBA rumours 2

26 Mar 2023 23:01:06
Scenario: LA Clippers blow it up after first-round playoff exit


Trade 1: Kawhi to Denver Nuggets

DEN receive:
Kawhi Leonard

LAC receive:
Michael Porter Jr.
Zeke Nnaji
2029 1st Round Pick


Trade 2: PG to New York Knicks

NYK receive:
Paul George

LAC receive:
RJ Barrett
Evan Fournier
2024 1st Round Pick
2026 1st Round Pick
2028 1st Round Pick

26 Mar 2023 23:13:27
4 x 1st?

26 Mar 2023 23:28:01
I think Porter Jr is widely viewed as a negative contract.

27 Mar 2023 00:05:20
Reverse it. Kawhi to Ny and PG to Den. Based on the value you put.

28 Mar 2023 16:51:17
Would like either in NY, but Thibs does not believe in load management so I do not see Kawhi ever in a Knick uniform.

26 Mar 2023 23:43:31
That's an awesome trade.

27 Mar 2023 00:08:39
Solid no from all 4 teams.

26 Mar 2023 15:22:45
Let's annoy Dalcon

Dallas - Pelicans

Dallas get Ingram, Daniels, Hayes, Lewis & 4 1st round picks & 2 pick swaps

Irving/Hardy/Lewis
Daniels/Hardaway/Green
Ingram/Bullock
Wood/Kleber
Hayes/Powell

Pelicans get Doncic, Bertans & McGee

Doncic/Alvarado
McCollum/Temple/Marshall
Murphy/Jones
Williamson/Bertans
Valanciunas/Nance/McGee

26 Mar 2023 19:42:22
If I was Dallas I would do this in a heart beat. Doncic is a team killer.

26 Mar 2023 21:53:50
Make it two 1sts. 1 swap.

27 Mar 2023 09:48:21
NO can miss 4 first round picks.
And dallas is taking a risk, so 4 seems fair to me.
I like this idea.

27 Mar 2023 12:52:43
4 is too many. you’ve always undervalued Pels Players.

27 Mar 2023 13:44:29
I would overpay to get doncic.

26 Mar 2023 09:11:31
TOR/PHX/CHI/MEM

TOR get Lavine
- gets a scorer

Pg VanVleet
Sg Lavine
Sf Barnes
Pf Siakam
Ce Poeltl

PHX get Anunoby & Adams
- adds 2 defensive guys that fits better with KD & Book

Pg Paul
Sg Booker
Sf Anunoby
Pf Durant
Ce Adams

CHI get Ayton, Thad Young & 1st from MEM
(Send the 1st to Detroit together with Williams & filler to get Bogdanovic)
- get a defensive center a vet big

Pg Beverley
Sg Derozan
Sf Bogdanovic
Pf Young
Ce Ayton

MEM get Vucevic
- gets an offensive big which is a great fit with Jackson

Pg Morant
Sg Bane
Sf Brooks
Pf Jackson
Ce Vucevic

26 Mar 2023 11:02:44
Raptors have cap space to bring LaVine?

Still not enough tho

Raptors got to give @ least two 1st

Anunoby & Young ain’t gonna cut it.

26 Mar 2023 12:37:12
Bulls say no.

26 Mar 2023 12:37:46
Looks good for everyone else though.

26 Mar 2023 13:43:18
I like this for all teams. Ayton is becoming underrated.

26 Mar 2023 16:27:34
I dont think Vucevic is a first-round pick better than Adams. If anything they have about the same value, just in different ways.

I dont think Vucevic is ready to the be the Memphis "enforcer".

26 Mar 2023 19:40:28
ill take it for toronto.

25 Mar 2023 17:49:05
If Dalcon was a Raptors fan, this would be a deal for him.
If Giannis and Embiid decided to get together and form an AllAfrica pro team, they would choose to do it in Toronto, because the Raptors already have Siakam, Anunoby, Achiuwa and Koloko. So here's how the deals go.

Toronto sends - Barnes and Trent (opted in) to Milwaukee for Giannis Antetokuompo
Toronto sends - vanVleet, Young and Porter to Philly for Joel Embiid
Toronto sends - Flynn to Miami for Gabe Vincent
Toronto sends - Harper to Warriors for Jonathan Kuminga
Toronto sends - Boucher to Orlando for Bol Bol
Toronto signs Emmanuel Mudiay from the G League
Toronto sends - Poetl (s&t) to Memphis for Desmond Bane
Toronto sends - Downtin to Cleveland for Isaac Okoro
Toronto sends - Weiskamp to Atlanta for Onyeka Okongwu
Toronto signs - 2 of Giannis's brothers to 2 way deals

Of course, we'll need an African coach, so we'll replace Nurse with Ime Udoka.

Obviously all of Toronto's 1st and 2nd round picks will go, and all pick swaps as well.

Starters - Vincent, Anunoby, Giannis, Siakam, Embiid
Bench - Bane, Okungwu, Kuminga, Achiuwa, Mudiay, Bol, Okoro, Koloko and the brothers Antetokuompo

And of course it's unbelievable because read the first line.

25 Mar 2023 21:07:29
No thank you.

25 Mar 2023 21:41:39
Giannis is born in Greece, so it's more logical he wants to team up in Dallas with Doncic and Jokic :-p.

25 Mar 2023 22:05:39
That's not enough for Fred VanVleet.

27 Mar 2023 16:23:49
Anunoby is citizen of Great Britain.

25 Mar 2023 11:48:44
ORL/DAL

ORL get Luka Doncic & Davis Bertans
- gets a superstar to play alongside Banchero, could potentially be one of the best young duos in the league

Pg Fultz/MCW
Sg Anthony/Houstan/FA
Sf Doncic/Okeke
Pf Banchero/Bertans/Wagner
Ce Carter Jr/Bol/Bitadze

DAL get Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Isaac, Gary Harris & 4 1st round picks & pick swap
- if Doncic became unhappy, this is a great package

Pg Suggs/Ntilikina
Sg Hardy/Hardaway/Green
Sf Wagner/Bullock/Harris
Pf Isaac/Kleber
Ce Powell/McGee

25 Mar 2023 14:09:47
That's a pretty good offer, but I'm not sure the Mavs consider it without Banchero in it.

25 Mar 2023 16:49:59
I think Mavs would consider it with Wagner and Suggs if they get both top 10 picks this draft.

25 Mar 2023 20:24:28
No thank you I rather keep all my guys growth as a team.

25 Mar 2023 21:44:05
Banchero and Doncic would e a great tandem,

25 Mar 2023 22:05:23
Honestly, I'd rather keep Franz straight up over Luka. Luka is great, but already costs too much, and I'd rather keep our assets, plus Banchero is our future.

25 Mar 2023 22:21:53
Franz over Luka for any reason whatsoever is one of the worst takes in the history of this site.

25 Mar 2023 23:42:26
Shaq Magic better of keeping Franz & Paolo together would be dynamic duo In years to come & grow as a team together

Luka next to Paolo wouldn’t be good fit.

26 Mar 2023 03:52:07
Yeah that's a bad take luka and paolo would obviously be great youd trade franz and never think twice.

26 Mar 2023 05:00:28
Luka and Paulo would be an even better duo. Luka is generational.

26 Mar 2023 05:43:34
The only way Luka and Banchero are a bad fit is if they’re selfish idiots and bad teammates.

Concerns over fit are almost always people overthinking the logic of “great player plus great player equals great basketball”. If Banchero comes anywhere close to his ceiling, that duo wins a lot. A lot more than Banchero and Franz, because Franz is simple no where close to the quality of basketball player as Luka.

26 Mar 2023 08:51:20
These Magic fans are obssessed with what they have, I understand, they are a great young team. But if I can get Luka and keep Paolo, i'll sign up quicker than a lightning.

26 Mar 2023 10:38:42
@usa it’s take my team years to get guys like Paolo & Franz I’m truly grateful for that but Luka is great player but he is crybaby

Luka had KP & Brunson in his first three years what happened they’re gone now he have another star is Kyrie Mavs are struggling to beat teams they’re supposed be beaten also supposed be top 5 in West no question

I don’t wanna throw Franz in a deal for Jaylen why the world do I wanna throw in for Luka?

I rather keep my players grow as a team together

I want my team to build team like Spurs or Warriors

Warriors develop Curry Thompson Green Barnes they win championship as team and next year they let Barnes and bring Durant in free agency and win championship again

Spurs develop Duncan Robinson Parker Leonard Ginóbili they win championships

Raptors develop Siakam Anunoby DeRozan Poelt Valančiūnas Powell Ross than they traded Ross plus 1st to Orlando for Ibaka and they traded DeRozan & Poelt + 1st to Spurs for Leonard & Green also they traded Valančiūnas & Miles & Wright 2 2nds to Grizzlies for Gasol they win championship

Orlando Magic can do the same bro Shaq & I doesn’t need Jaylen or Luka.

26 Mar 2023 14:45:30
It took years to get a guy like Paolo and Franz, and how many decades will it take to get a generational talent like Doncic?

26 Mar 2023 15:24:57
@MD you want your team be built like Spurs or Warriors? Then you can stop making delusional trades if that's the case.

26 Mar 2023 15:37:14
So all you need is for one of your guys to turn into a top 12 all time player? That sounds easy….

Nightcap & Celtics fans u can't say no to this deal

Raptors fans u ain't says no neither

25 Mar 2023 01:32:03
This is honestly a very interesting trade. You're getting better at this.

25 Mar 2023 03:02:46
I will say no for Cektics then.

Brown+Williams > Siakim+Carter.

26 Mar 2023 12:40:29
Is rob williams valuable anymore?

26 Mar 2023 16:32:44
a 10/ 10/ 2 defensive guy will always be valuable. Especially for a team with a hole in the middle of their defense.
