Might help the Pacers but it sure doesn’t help the Hawks. They have proven this year, once and for all that Okongwu, at 6’8” is not a starting center on a playoff team. Unless a trade nets a starting caliber center in place of or in addition to Porzingis it will not help the Hawks.

05 Jan 2026 20:02:04
Pacers should jump at that package. Risacher and the Pels pick is an awesome return for Siakam, who is in his 30's now.

04 Jan 2026 03:39:40
Cavs get: Jalen Smith and Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Max Strus and 3 2nds ('27 Nuggets, '28 and '32)

Why?
Cavs add 2 excellent role players to their bench.
Bulls get 3 2nd round picks.

IND/ LAL

IND get Dalton Knecht, Adou Thiero, Gabe Vincent (exp), 2026 1st round pick, 2030 1st round pick lotto protected, 2 2nd round picks

LAL get Andrew Nembhard

Lakers need a 2 way player like Nembhard, he is one of those players who fits with anyone. He is also an insurance if they try to trade or dont resign Reaves

Pg Doncic/ Smart/ Bronny
Sg Nembhard/ Smith Jr
Sf Reaves/ Laravia
Pf Lebron/ Hachimura/ Vanderbilt
Ce Ayton/ Hayes.

04 Jan 2026 16:54:22
Keep the 26 pick and make the 2030 pick unprotected.

Washington-Atlanta

Washington- Trae Young
Atlanta- CJ McCollum (exp), Corey Kispert & 2027 1st round pick top 5 protected

The Hawks are clearly better without Trae Young, and his value is really getting lower by the days. But Washington could be a team that can use him because they really lack star power on that squad. Young is a great playmaker who can help elevate Sarr and other young players there. The Hawks add CJ who can give them added scoring and Kispert provides depth and shooting.

Hawks

Alexander-Walker/ Krejci/ Wallace
McCollum/ Kennard/ Newell
Daniels/ Kispert
Johnson/ Gueye
Okongwu/ Porzingis

Wizards

Young/ Carrington
Coulibaly/ Johnson/ Champagnie
Middleton/ Whitmore
George/ Bagley
Sarr/ Vukcevic.

CHI gets Kyrie Irving and Daniel Gafford

DAL gets Coby White, (exp) Nikola Vucevic, (exp) Kevin Huerter (exp), POR 1st, Bulls 2029 1st and a swap

DAL frees up future cap to build around Flagg while getting a look close look at Coby White, a less ball dominant guard than Irving to play alongside Flagg. They also get 2 future 1st and a swap.

CHI gets a top tier scorer to pair next to Giddey and their center for the future and this allows the youth more playing time. while still having cap space and their first for the summer.

Dallas-Utah-Atlanta

Dallas - Lauri Markkanen, Luke Kennard
Utah - Kristaps Porzingis, Zacharie Risacher, D’Angelo Russell, 1st round pick Atlanta, 2 2nd round picks Dallas
Atlanta - Anthony Davis, Nnaji Marshall

Sas-Den-Dal

Sas: Daniel Gafford, Nnaji Marshall

Den: Kelly Olynyk

Dal: Jeremy Sochan, Zeke Nnaji, 1st round pick Sas 2028 top 8 protected, 2nd round pick Sas


Spurs already have a ridiculous amount of talent on the team and Sochan cant find his minutes there, he needs a fresh start and Dallas can give them a chance to grow with Flagg. Meanwhile, the Spurs strengthen their frontcourt even more. Gafford adds toughness and Marshall gives more vet presence. Mavs get 2 young guys to develop and added assets. Nuggets can use Olynyk to back up JV while Jokic is out.

Spurs new depth

Fox - Harper - McLaughlin
Vassell - Champagnie - Waters
Castle - Johnson - Marshall
Wembanyama - Barnes - Bryant
Gafford - Kornet
>> Man, this line up is so deep

Mavericks

Irving - Nembhard - Williams
Christie - Thompson - Russell
Flagg - Martin
Washington - Sochan
Davis - Nnaji - Lively

Nuggets

Murray - Picket
Strawther - Hardaway (Braun)
Johnson - Brown - Tyson
Watson - (Gordon)
Valanciunas - Olynyk (Jokic)

I'm not sure I'm giving up that much for Trae as the Pels.
I like this trade for Indiana though, solid value for Siakam.
