No from SAC.

LAC/CLE/PHI
LAC get Kevin Love & Norvell Pelle
- add a veteran with championship experience. He can help that locker room and Clippers wouldn't mind paying him that money because they are competing
- resign Montrezl Harrell with less than max money (only if he wants to stay)
- sign DJ Augustin via MLE, Aaron Baynes min
Pg Shamet/Augustin
Sg Leonard/Williams
Sf George/Mann
Pf Love/Green
Ce Harrell/Pelle
CLE get Ivica Zubac, Mike Scott (exp), 21st pick via PHI & Zhaire Smith
- get some good value for Kevin Love. Get additional pick and 2 young players. If they intend to keep Drummond, they can trade Zubac for another pick or if not, he will be a cheap option at center
Pg Garland/Exum
Sg Sexton/Porter/Smith
Sf Avdija (pick)/Osman/Wade
Pf Nance/Scott/21st pick
Ce Drummond/Zubac
PHI get Pat Beverley & Rodney McGruder
- get 2 usable players. It will be awkward to see Beverley and Embiid on the same team but the Sixers need some more boost in energy. They can start Bev at PG and Simmons at PF. There's not a lot of things they can do and trading a late 1st to get some good rotational players will be better for them
Pg Beverley/Milton
Sg Richardson/Korkmaz
Sf Harris/Thybulle/McGruder
Pf Simmons/Horford
Ce Embiid/Horford
I followed some advise from the Talk segment about trades they would believe (posted by Paris). Clippers & Sixers are trying to compete that's why they are getting players that can help while Cavs are rebuilding so they get some asset. Now is this unbelievable? Why?
1.) 20 Sep 2020 13:50:09
It’s interesting. I’m just not sure that Love is the kind of big that LA wants and a guard that can pass might be their biggest need.
2.) 21 Sep 2020 04:27:30
To me Ind is who passes
19 Sep 2020 22:51:10

1.) 20 Sep 2020 00:22:16
Makes perfect sense for the Rockets but I’m not sure what the Pacers/ Magic get out of it.
2.) 20 Sep 2020 02:48:20
Magic get hosed but I'd love this as a Pacers fan:)
3.) 20 Sep 2020 10:15:10
No from Orlando. Covington and House aren't an upgrade for Isaac and Ross.

1.) 18 Sep 2020 15:45:09
if I were wizards gm I would cut nola. take levert, allen, prince (instead of dinwiddie) and picks. and use 2 first round picks to unload wall's contract. you can find a team for wall if you attach 1 or 2 first round picks and get some above avarage players. hornets, magic, cavs, knicks, detroit, bulls.

Season overachievers:
Miami (When Butler came, they are a playoff team but not to the extent that they will reach the ECF and a great chance of going to finals, amazing)
OKC (who would have thought that after losing 2 stars, they will take the Rockets into a very close game 7, not mentioning that analysts game them 1.5% chance of reaching the playoffs
Boston (yes, they are strong on paper but i only expected them to last until the 2nd round but here they are, just like Miami)
Honorable Mention: Raptors (they lost Kawhi and still manage to pull a fight for the championship they are defending, just fell short)
For lottery teams i think Memphis
Underachievers:
Bucks (i expected a finals loss at least)
Clippers (i thought the west finals is the least they will go with how they built that team)
Sixers (partially because of how bad the team is built that they didn't notice when the season started but most thought how they are good on paper)
Honorable Mention: Rockets (Warriors are their nemesis and i thought without the Warriors they'll be on top along with LA teams but the fact that they ruined their team and embrace the small ball approach turned into a horrible nightmare once again)
1.) 17 Sep 2020 20:07:52
I would put Nuggets as honorable mention for overachievers as well. They’re a great team but I’m pretty sure no one had them in the WCF (kindve like your description for the Celtics and Heat)
2.) 18 Sep 2020 06:47:59
I think Nuggets are expected to be this strong just overshadowed by LA teams in the conversation.
3.) 18 Sep 2020 14:29:11
They’re just as strong as Boston imo.
17 Sep 2020 13:05:56
CP3 is an all NBA 2nd team. If it wasn't because of his enormous contract he probably is one of the best trade targets for contending team.
1.) 17 Sep 2020 14:04:29
The problem is he’s still 35. Best case scenario you get one more good year out of him. Contenders would love to have him, but no one is giving up multiple firsts and/ or good youth for him.
16 Sep 2020 10:04:20
What pairing would you like to see?
Booker-Giannis
Both getting to their prime years. Comparable to a Kobe-Shaq duo?
Trial Offer: Ayton, Oubre or Bridges plus 3 to 4 1st round picks
Lillard-Giannis
Potentially the best 1-2 punch if it happens
Trial offer: CJ, Collins, Simons, 3 to 4 1st round picks
Paul-Giannis in Milwaukee
Giannis might need a vet talent in CP3 and try it one more time in the east
Trial offer: Bledsoe, Ilyasova, Wilson, 1st rd pick
Or any other?
1.) 16 Sep 2020 17:45:05
I say lbj and Davis the best one two punch.
14 Sep 2020 13:59:19
NYK/MIL/CHI
NYK get Eric Bledsoe
- get a defensive pg that Thibs would want
- draft Devin Vassell with the 8th pick and Terry at 27
- go to FA market and sign some quality players at a right price (Bertans, Harris, Gallinari, Morris bros?, etc)
Pg Bledsoe/Ntilikina/Terry
Sg Barrett/Bullock
Sf Vassell/Ellington
Pf Randle/Knox
Ce Robinson/Gibson
MIL get Zach Lavine
- add some offensive power to make Giannis happy
- sign Jeff Teague via MLE
Pg Hill/Teague
Sg Lavine/Brown
Sf Middleton/Connaughton
Pf Giannis/Ilyasova
Ce Lopez/Lopez/Wilson
CHI get Dennis Smith Jr, Donte Divincenzo, 1st round pick MIL, 1st round pick DAL via NYK 2023 & Bobby Portis (waive)
- get 2 1st for Lavine. Let White be the primary scorer
- draft Deni Avdija 4th pick
Pg White/Satoransky/Arci
Sg Avdija/Divincenzo/Smith Jr
Sf Porter/Hutchinson
Pf Markkanen/Young
Ce Carter/Gafford/Felicio
1.) 15 Sep 2020 03:16:00
I like it. I would start Divincenzo at SG to put some defense beside White. Let Avdija run 2nd unit and start at SF next year when Porter expires.
14 Sep 2020 13:49:51
ATL/MIL/IND
ATL get Giannis & Oladipo
Pg Young
Sg Oladipo
Sf Reddish
Pf Giannis
Ce Dedmon
MIL get Collins, Hunter, 6th pick 2020, 3 future unprotected 1st from ATL
Pg Bledsoe
Sg Middleton
Sf Hunter
Pf Collins
Ce Lopez
IND get Huerter, Capela (send to a team needing a center for a 1st rd pick) & 2nd rd pick from both teams
20 Sep 2020 13:08:37
TonyO, in what world are you living? Bulls need to give more? Rubio and Oubre isn't even worth the 4th pick and Porter is not that bad of a contract to dump because it's an expiring one. And i also remember you proposing a trade that sends Porter and Thad to Charlotte for their 3rd pick and Graham. I don't understand what basketball logic you have.
18 Sep 2020 12:12:06
If that's the return GS rather take Wiseman themselves.
16 Sep 2020 22:54:07
Oladipo and Turner is the value i think.
15 Sep 2020 01:19:26
If the Bulls are desperate to land a big name sure.
15 Sep 2020 01:17:43
It's not doable because you can't sign and trade a player with another player and s&t needs to be atleast 3yrs long.
ATL can actually beat that team in some games
I'll put Vucevic higher, maybe around number 9
I'd say Markieff to at least top 15
Curry, Paul, Westbrook, Wall, Lillard, Irving, Lowry, Rose, Conley, Lawson, Bledsoe, Kemba, Teague, Parker, Rondo, Holiday, Rubio, Jennings, Knight, Williams, Mcw, Collison, Hill, Beverley, Burke, Lin, Calderon, Chalmers, Smart, Payton
Jimmy Butler all over Klay Thompson, Anthony Davis all over Curry as long as Pelicans could make playoffs (doubt)
