Suns: Iveyu+Stewart+Harris+ 1rnd pick 26-28-30 Detroit+swap option 27

Detroit:
C:Duren
PF:Grant
SF:Thompson
SG:Booker
PG:Cunningham

28 Sep 2025 22:32:58

28 Sep 2025 09:10:14
Portland: T Herro
Detroit: J Grant
Miami: T Harris+ 1rnd pick Port 28-30 (or bucks swaps)+ 2rnd pick Detroit 27.

23 Sep 2025 23:53:35
Utah - Detroit - Portland

Utah get Jerami Grant, Jaden Ivey, 3 1sts from Detroit, 1st from Portland (lottery protected), 1st round swap Detroit

Detroit get Lauri Markkanen & Doup Reath

Portland get Tobias Harris (exp) - can be flipped by deadline


Utah gets a haul for Markkanen
Detroit gets a star
Portland saves money for the future


Cunningham/Sasser
LeVert/Holland
Thompson/Robinson/Green
Markkanen/Reath
Duren/Stewart/Reed

24 Sep 2025 14:01:00
I would prefer Holland (+ Klintman or Sasser) if I were UTA, which has many guards but not enough wings, and I think he is also more expendable in DET as well.

24 Sep 2025 18:35:45
From a Portland perspective, absolutely positively no. No world I’m giving up a first for Tobias Harris, or to be rid of Grant. Portland really doesn’t need to clear cap. Picks are far more valuable if they want to make a move and add talent. They’re not signing anyone in FA, they’d have to add via trade.

27 Sep 2025 08:37:34
I disagree because by next off-season they are gonna have to give an extension to Camara and Shaedon Sharpe. And 2027 they are gonna have to make a decision about Scoot. Plus how can you really justify having a player coming off the bench that's making 32 mill this season and next year making 34 and has a player option for 36 mill. They missed their opportunity to trade Jerami Grant last off-season now no team wants his contract without giving something else up. Plus they have Jrue Holidays contract which isn't gonna be easy to move as well.

15 Sep 2025 16:49:10
Detroit: P Siakam
Pacers: T Harris+ Ivey+ 1rnd pick Det 27-29-31

18 Sep 2025 12:04:30
Siakam is a very good player, but this suggests he has more value now than the last time he was traded. If that's true than maybe? But I don't like the target for Detroit.

21 Sep 2025 20:52:37
He was on an expiring contract then. He proved again he can lead a team in playoff succes.

SG:Ivey
PG:Cunningham

GS:
C:Green
PF:Harris
SF:Butler
SG:Hield
PG:S Curry

16 Jun 2025 02:27:21
Ok MEM might be rebuilding, DET should take the chance to get the stretch big they want

MEM/DET

MEM get Tobias Harris, Ron Holland, 4 1st round picks & 2 pick swaps
- I assume that Ja will be dealt too so Holland and Cole Anthony wll handle that PG position for a while

DET get Jaren Jackson Jr

Pg Cunningham
Sg Ivey
Sf Thompson
Pf Jackson Jr
Ce Duren
- hell defensively, great balanced offense, could use the shooting of Beasley and Hardaway off their bench

On paper this could be unbelievable and overpayment but Bane gets a serious haul, DET might be few pieces away from contending

11 Jun 2025 19:55:38
Detroit - Boston - Utah

Detroit get Derrick White
- derrick white is a great fit with Cunningham

Cunningham
White
Thompson
Harris
Duren

Boston get Lauri Markkanen, Simone Fontecchio & Marcus Sasser

Pritchard
Holiday
Brown
Tatum
Markkanen

Utah get 1st from Boston, 1st from Detroit, Kristaps Porzingis, Sam Hauser, pick swap from Boston

15 Jun 2025 16:40:56
If I’m the Celtics I’m keeping Derrick White. Considering his defensive impact, he will do more for your team than Lauri Markkanen.

10 Jun 2025 23:09:48
Detroit: K Durant
Suns: Harris+Stewart+sasser+ 1rnd pick Det 26+ 2rnd pick bucks 27+ 2rnd pick Dal or Bucks 27

Det:
C:Duren
PF:Durant
SF:A Thompson
SG:Ivey
PG:Cunningham

11 Jun 2025 00:34:17
An argument can be made that Detroit shouldn't go in this direction but that team looks nice.

09 Jun 2025 06:34:09
Pistons - Bucks

Pistons get Giannis, Jackson Jr

Cunningham
Beasley
Thompson
Giannis
Stewart

Bucks get Harris, Duren, Ivey, Fontecchio, 3 1sts & 2 swaps

09 Jun 2025 23:51:52
Not a good enough offer.

11 Jun 2025 14:05:55
Maybe the best defense, but this offense misses terribly 3-point shooting.

07 Jun 2025 08:04:49
Pistons-Pelicans-Hornets

Pistons acquire: CJ McCollum
- Continue to build a contending team in the east, i feel like CJ fits in, his locker room presence would be good for this young team. They can absorb the rest of his expiring contract too

Pelicans acquire: 4th pick via Hornets, Jusuf Nurkic (exp) & Nick Smith
- move up on this draft and pick the best talent that they can get to fit in the roster

Hornets acquire: Simone Fontecchio, 7th pick 2025 via Pelicans, 1st round pick Pelicans 2027 top 12 protected, Detroit 1st round pick 2026 top 18 protected, pick swap 2028 Pelicans, 2nd round pick Detroit
- move down but get some nice assets in return

20 Jun 2025 04:55:56
Better get Austin Reaves

Reaves+Hachimura+Kleber
For
Murphy+Olynyk+Brown.

04 Jun 2025 12:48:31
With the nba full of surprises

Suns-nets-pistons

Suns-t harris, c johnson, m sasser, pick swap from detroit, 1st from detroit 2028 lottery protected
Nets- 2026 pistons 1st, simone fontecchio
Pistons- durant, 2nd from nets and suns

Pistons conpete with what could possibly be a wide open east next year

Cade schroder
Ivey holland
Thompson beasley
Durant reed
Duren stewart

08 May 2025 03:21:56
Cavs get: Tari Eason, Dyson Daniels, Reed Sheppard, Terrance Mann and '27 and '29 frp via Suns
Rockets get: Donovan Mitchell and Onyeka Okongwu
Hawks get: Alperen Sengun and Jock Landale
Pistons get: Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang and 2 2nds ('25 via Bucks, '27 via Nuggets)

Why?
Cleveland adds size and defense. They also save a ton of money.
Rockets add a superstar number one option and a good big man.
Hawks add a star big man who is a good fit next to Trae Young.
Pistons get some players who are familiar with Bickerstaff and some 2nds.

29 Apr 2025 01:54:29
Bucks-Pistons

Bucks get ivey, duren, harris, 4 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps

Pistons get giannis

Cade
Beasley
Thompson
Giannis
Stewart

An up and coming team would be perfect for Giannis and the Bucks look to rebuild by getting 2 young high potential players and picks

02 Apr 2025 10:45:15
GS:A Davis
Detroit: Kuminga
Dallas: T Harris+ 1rnd pick GS 26-28+1rnd pick Det26+ return 2rnd pick Dal 31+ 2rnd pick GS 30

GS:D Green/Post
PF:A Davis/TJ Davis
SF:Butler/Podziemski
SG:Hield/Moody
PG:S Curry/Payton

Det:
C:Duren/Stewart
PF:Kuminga
Sf:Thompson
SG:Ivey/Beasly
PG:Cunningham

03 Apr 2025 11:27:14
So the Mavs basically traded Luka for that garbage?

03 Apr 2025 15:31:41
not my mistake they traded Luka.
What can you get for a 32 year old injury prone player?
And what team has the assets to get him? He's only useful for a contender.

Dallas has two options. Pay Irving and built around him and Davis or start a rebuilt. Dallas own their 25 and 26 pick, so they have a two year window to rebuilt. (they don't own the 27 pick and there are swap options on their 28-29-30 pick)

07 Apr 2025 15:19:11
This trade can’t happen without a GM change in Dallas. there is no was he can admit it’s this level of, a, fail and keep his job.

17 Feb 2025 15:46:26
Detroit: Markannen
Jazz: Stewart+ T Harris+ 1rnd pick 26-28+swap option 27-29

Detroit
C:Duren
Pf:Markannen
SF:A Thompson
SG:Ivey
PG:Cunningham

20 Feb 2025 18:27:00
Markkanen would be a great get for the Pistons.

03 Feb 2025 09:19:21
Pacers: Stewart+ C Thomas+ Santos
Det: Kuminga+ K anderson
Nets: Podziemski+ 2rnd pick Indy
GS: M turner+ 1rnd pick Indy

C:Stewart/Bryant
PF:Siakam/Toppin/Walker
SF:Nesmith/Mathurin
SG:C Thomas/Nembhard
PG:Haliburton/McConnell/Sheppard

Det:

SF:A Thompson
SG:Ivey
PG:Cunningham

GS:
C:Turner/Looney
PF:Green/Jackson
SF:Wiggins/Moody
SF:Hield/Payton
PG:Curry/Schroder

03 Feb 2025 16:40:20
You'd rather give up Turner?

03 Feb 2025 17:55:44
Management doesn't want to gove him a New contract.

03 Feb 2025 20:56:40
Really can't picture Indy giving up Turner, a 1st, and a 2nd for a couple of role players.

02 Feb 2025 03:18:15
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter
Hawks get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and two 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)
Pistons get: Vít Krejčí

Why?
Cavs add a tall wing, and we duck the tax.
Hawks get cap relief and a few seconds.
Pistons add another shooter on a great contract.

02 Feb 2025 18:58:08
Can’t see this happening. You are offering two players that are substantially below the talent level from the Hawk’s you are getting in return. They cost about the same this year and could then leave. So it’s really just a salary dump for Cleveland. Lastly, the two draft picks are of little value since both will likely be near the end of the second round.
