Saw this a couple places recently:
Blazers trade Nurkic and #3
Orlando trades WCJ, #6, and #11.
1.) 19 May 2023 23:50:25
No thank you I don’t want Nurkic on my team I rather keep Carter Jr
I rather stay put than taking Nurkic ?.
2.) 20 May 2023 02:17:53
It’s the “move up for a potential superstar” tax MD.
3.) 20 May 2023 03:40:21
I can give #6 & #11 for #3 that it Bro
I don’t want Nurkic in a deal Carter Jr is way better than him.
4.) 20 May 2023 10:01:43
#6 + #11 is not enough to get Orlando to #3 (especially if Scoot is still on the board)
5.) 20 May 2023 11:42:57
@BMiller don't worry about MD. Orlando would happily take that offer.
6.) 20 May 2023 18:01:33
Shaq really? Nurkic way worst than Carter Jr I don’t want him near in Orlando.
7.) 20 May 2023 23:55:56
MD, your thinking is way below than anyone here (maybe except for notdrainr) . Why only look at the Nurkic for WCJ, you are getting a potential superstar at number for God damn sake.

Blazers trade Winslow, Keon Johnson, and 1-2 second round picks
Jazz trade Vanderbilt
Saw this a few times around Twitter. Seems reasonable.
1.) 05 Feb 2023 19:53:16
Seems reasonable until you realize Danny Ainge is sitting on the other side of the table.
2.) 05 Feb 2023 21:13:14
Eh, I don’t see Ainge as a god like so many. He doesn’t steal in every trade he makes.
Portland and Utah made a reasonable trade last year.
3.) 05 Feb 2023 22:51:09
Think most teams in the league would painlessly beat that offer.
4.) 05 Feb 2023 22:51:50
If Utah goes in full rebuild, I don't think Winslow or Johnson would interest them all that much. I a couple of 2nd round picks probably hold the same amount of interest.
5.) 05 Feb 2023 23:03:29
Why wouldn’t a guy on a rookie deal that was a first round pick not of interest for a tanking team? That’s literally exactly what you’re looking to stockpile.
Are teams really easily beating a rookie deal and two seconds for an 8 and 8 bench big? Has the league gone this crazy? Or am I undervaluing Vanderbilt?
6.) 06 Feb 2023 00:44:59
@Carl especially considering the earliest 2nds Portland can trade is a 2024 and a 2027.
09 Oct 2022 17:18:28
Blazers trade Josh Hart and Keon Johnson
Nets trade Joe Harris and a first
Jazz trade Markkanen
Blazers get Markkanen
Nets get Hart
Jazz get Harris, Johnson, and a first.
1.) 09 Oct 2022 19:25:34
So Hart for Harris and a 1st, then flip both and Johnson for Markannen?
Not sure if Hart is worth a first for the upgrade for the Nets.
2.) 10 Oct 2022 00:40:39
Markkanen has always been a bit overrated. Particularly so in this proposed trade. Would not be a good move by the Blazers.
3.) 10 Oct 2022 20:19:16
If the Blazers can get Markkanen while only giving up those two, they should absolutely do it.
07 Jun 2022 23:21:52
Saw this one on The Athletic:
Blazers get 11, 2023 Dallas first, and Toppin
Knicks get 7, Keon Johnson, and Greg Brown.
1.) 08 Jun 2022 04:08:40
Who is the Knicks looking to get at #7 that they cannot get a #11? Duren?
2.) 08 Jun 2022 12:35:55
Could only think of Duren or Mathurin.
3.) 08 Jun 2022 13:52:01
One would assume this happens because the Knicks fall in love with one of the guys projected just outside of the top 6.
20 May 2022 19:16:23
Blazers trade Keon Johnson and 2025 Bucks first
Wizards trade Kuzma
I’ll admit Kuzma is someone I’ve had a hard time figuring out what his value might be around the league.
1.) 21 May 2022 07:25:31
his value is way higher than this trade offer. if that package can't get them Jerami Grant, then Kuzma is out of the question. i value Kuzma a little bit higher than Grant.
2.) 21 May 2022 12:32:19
Really? I value Grant a lot more than Kuz.
3.) 21 May 2022 15:48:49
I also assumed Grant had more value than Kuzma. But I think they’re very similar on the court impact.

I will reiterate how I absolutely would not have wanted Miami in the first round as a top 3 seed.
1.) 25 Apr 2023 11:17:18
Jimmy Butler is a freakin beast in the playoffs. Damn.
2.) 25 Apr 2023 18:01:42
Jimmy is the Best, to bad he couldn't stay in Philly.
02 Aug 2022 22:46:15
I made a comment about it, but should the NBA just ignore tampering during the dead period? It really doesn’t seem like a big deal.
Does Brunson’s agent making a preliminary deal with the Knicks change the actual outcome? I don’t think so.
I think that teams should be free to discuss deals the day after the Finals end. Why not?
1.) 03 Aug 2022 03:01:12
Not sure teams in the Finals are prepared to make offers at that time. They are usually doing close out interviews.
Teams that fire coaches/ GMs should be given time to make hires before FAs can talk deals. The GMs & coaches should have feedback on those players.
GMs/ FOs should not be distracted with FA signings at the same time they are scouting and mock drafting for the NBA draft. Just be focused on one thing at a time.
2.) 03 Aug 2022 20:19:03
I think the biggest thing to consider with that is that teams would still be tampering, they'd just be doing it during the playoffs, which would be worse.
15 Apr 2021 17:35:54
Sad to see Lamarcus Aldridge forced out like that. He was a huge part of the resurgence of the Blazers after a horrible decade.
Hopefully he gets his jersey in the rafters in Portland one day. And in the HOF.
1.) 16 Apr 2021 16:23:50
Kinda wondering if his medical condition was the real reason that the Spurs put LMA on the shelf earlier this season.
15 Dec 2020 17:23:34
Giannis with the max extension. How’s that guarantee he’ll be in Dallas going ddrainer?
1.) 15 Dec 2020 17:52:51
Also, does this totally change the outlook on trades this season for the Raptor fans? With him off the board, does cap space lose a lot of its value?
2.) 15 Dec 2020 18:56:58
I was thinking more about Miami than Toronto.
3.) 15 Dec 2020 19:08:07
Miami and Toronto will be fine. Contingency plans are always in their GMs minds.
4.) 15 Dec 2020 19:26:02
That James Harden market might be about to heat up.
5.) 15 Dec 2020 23:24:37
1st thing to look for from Toronto is OG's extension.
Maybe a Lowry extension too. keep the contract for a big dollar trade. if neither happen then they will deal at deadline to get roster into the shape they want for offseason.
6.) 16 Dec 2020 12:41:24
Aaaaaahhhh there's still Kawhi, Dipo, Gobert, and others. . .
7.) 16 Dec 2020 15:06:49
Are you really refusing to take on future salary for a shot at Oladipo or Gobert?
Kawhi isn’t an option, and you know it. He won’t go back to Toronto.
8.) 16 Dec 2020 16:22:36
You can't fully rule out Kawhi coming back. Honestly, we don't need to clear anymore cap space, but we're not taking on multiple years of contracts for Lowry.
9.) 17 Dec 2020 20:16:14
Dude Toronto done I say they miss playoffs just my opinion.
10.) 18 Dec 2020 15:07:43
lol II we can still beat your lakers just saying.
12 Dec 2020 19:39:05
Fredman, talk me down from the insane hype that Giles is causing throughout the Blazer fan base. He looked incredible.
Heat fans, same thing for DJJ. He was awesome last night.
It’s just one game, but the Blazers looked good.
1.) 12 Dec 2020 21:32:37
Giles a beast
2.) 13 Dec 2020 04:25:41
His knees will give out about 20 games into the season. His biggest problem in Sac was that he couldn't stay on the court. Whether that be injuries/ knee pain or foul trouble.
3.) 13 Dec 2020 17:24:45
Seems like that’s every big man the kings draft.
02 Oct 2023 13:48:52
Hell no MD. That would be terrible. Grant isn’t a full time SF. Ayton shouldn’t be a full time PF.
Local media expects the starters to be Scoot, Simons, Thybulle, Grant, Ayton.
02 Oct 2023 13:47:34
How are people disagreeing with the fact that Porter’s contract is mostly non guaranteed? It’s just a fact. He has 23/ 24 fully guaranteed, then only 1 million next season, and 0 after that.
01 Oct 2023 13:44:27
S&T requires 3 fully guaranteed non-option years. Specifically so teams don’t do that.
27 Sep 2023 20:34:07
Brogdon and Williams for Jrue makes a lot of sense to me.
10 Sep 2023 05:06:05
But the Bucks will never get a player of SGA’s level for Giannis. Period. It’s not an option. Getting two elite prospects is the best they could hope for.
When you trade a superstar, you get unknown prospects. That’s just how this works. And the trio of Chet/ Williams/ Giddy are about as good of prospects as you could ever want in a deal like this.
20 Sep 2023 04:04:43
And the first substantial rumor of Toronto making calls about Dame begin.
19 Sep 2023 19:24:01
I still think Toronto looking into Dame makes way too much sense. That roster is exactly one superstar away from contending to me. Dame, Trent, OG, Siakam, Poeltl is a contender. And Barnes alone is far more enticing than everything Miami can offer. Throw in either Dick, or two firsts.
03 Jul 2023 14:04:02
Starting Aminu, Harkless, and Evan Turner as the best forwards over a 6 year period was why Portland failed to build around Dame. Not paying good players. They never paid good players, outside of CJ.
02 Jul 2023 22:00:21
If Toronto was never going to pay FVV max, why did they not trade him at the deadline?
02 Jul 2023 06:02:29
Is 5m per year really swinging that much change?
Grant is the 47th highest paid player in the league. He’s not an all star/ all NBA, nor is he paid like one.
