1.) 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.
2.) 26 Mar 2023 12:37:12
Bulls say no.
3.) 26 Mar 2023 12:37:46
Looks good for everyone else though.
4.) 26 Mar 2023 13:43:18
I like this for all teams. Ayton is becoming underrated.
5.) 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".
6.) 26 Mar 2023 19:40:28
ill take it for toronto.
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
1.) 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.
2.) 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.
3.) 25 Mar 2023 20:24:28
No thank you I rather keep all my guys growth as a team.
4.) 25 Mar 2023 21:44:05
Banchero and Doncic would e a great tandem,
5.) 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.
6.) 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.
7.) 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.
8.) 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.
9.) 26 Mar 2023 05:00:28
Luka and Paulo would be an even better duo. Luka is generational.
10.) 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.
11.) 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.
12.) 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.
13.) 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?
14.) 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.
15.) 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….
22 Mar 2023 15:29:32
TOR/NOLA
TOR get Brandon Ingram & Garrett Temple
NOLA get Fred VanVleet s&t 4yr/110mil & OG Anunoby
I dont how it happened from the previous trades, but is a st + other player a possibility? Enlighten me. Thanks
1.) 22 Mar 2023 16:17:02
Nahhh.
2.) 22 Mar 2023 19:05:38
I’d be worried on Ingram’s lack of availability.
3.) 23 Mar 2023 22:49:26
No matter how good Ingram is, his health makes this essentially a two for one deal for Toronto, and 2>1.
4.) 24 Mar 2023 10:48:55
In a S&T, the receiving team (Nola) can't receive anything other than the player that is getting S&T.
20 Mar 2023 04:39:23
LAL/POR/CHI
LAL get Nurkic & Lavine
Pg Russell
Sg Lavine
Sf James
Pf Vanderbilt

CHI get Simons, Bamba & pick from POR

1.) 20 Mar 2023 06:19:33
Lakers better score 140 a game with that 1-3 defense pair.
2.) 20 Mar 2023 17:56:06
I have the Lakers saying yes because of Davis health issues. Their defense would be atrocious though.
18 Mar 2023 04:32:07
MIN/ATL/NOLA
MIN get Ingram & Collins
Pg Conley
Sg Edwards
Sf Ingram
Pf Collins
Ce Gobert
ATL get Valanciunas, Prince & 1st from NOLA
Pg Young

Sf Bogdanovic
Pf Hunter
Ce Valanciunas/Capela
NOLA get Towns
Pg McCollum
Sg Jones
Sf Murphy
Pf Williamson
Ce Towns
1.) 18 Mar 2023 10:48:50
Wolves may have to add a first to hawks and pels protect the pick they send or dont send a pick. Ingram is younger and wolves need the deal more than pels so pels have some leverage.
2.) 18 Mar 2023 13:02:32
@ahooper. I don't think the Wolves have a first available to be traded after that Gobert trade.
I don't get it from Atlanta's point of view. That is alot of salary space tied up in your starting and backup centers.
3.) 18 Mar 2023 14:40:10
I don’t think age 27 to 25 rly warrants having to add a 1st. Especially since Ingram hasn’t played more than 62 games since his rookie year.
4.) 18 Mar 2023 18:55:10
Need a better trade package for JV.

I want to see a Kings-Knicks finals. Or New York have a harder way to make it, maybe a Kings-Sixers will do:
Kings projected opponents if they end up at #2
Kings vs Thunder or Lakers or Mavericks
I believe it will be tough against the Lakers or Mavs but i think they can beat them in 6
Round 2 will be against Memphis (yeah they can beat the Warriors)
- Kings can find a way to beat this team
Then West finals will be against the Nuggets. Nuggets have the tendency to collapse in the playoffs. Sabonis can match up well with Jokic. Will be tough though
Kings path will not be so easy especially if they meet the Warriors but the way they play, making it to the finals isn't impossible.
1.) 20 Mar 2023 11:05:53
I'll be rooting for the Kings but I think it's inevitable that their D is not close to good enough. Really like that Knicks team and could see them giving anybody a tough time.
2.) 20 Mar 2023 12:25:30
I am actually think the Warriors are the easiest team for the Kings to beat in the first round. Especially with home court and the Warrior's horrid road record.
3.) 21 Mar 2023 04:50:42
Love the confidence Fred, but i wouldnt bet against the Warriors with a healthy Steph Klay and Draymond in the playoffs.
4.) 21 Mar 2023 19:37:31
@USA. No Wiggins and no bench? Yea, not scared of the Warriors.
18 Mar 2023 11:43:22
These Lakers wont even make the play-in. They are not good and not so "lucky" enough to qualify ??♂️
1.) 18 Mar 2023 13:06:07
Actually, I think I disagree with you. Lakers will probably make the play-in as Minnesota is going to drop out with Edwards probably missing the rest of the season with an ankle sprain so bad that he probably strained some knee ligaments as well.
02 Mar 2023 18:33:13
If LAC fails this year, they need to tear it down i guess?
Kawhi Leonard and Paul George becomes available, what are you going to offer realistically?
1.) 02 Mar 2023 19:21:36
Kings would pay fair amount PG13. Picks plus anyone not named Fox, Sabonis or Murray.
2.) 03 Mar 2023 01:26:41
Raptors fans would love to see Kawhi back, but it would be tough to match salary without involving Siakam. With OG as the headline going back you'd have to include Boucher, Young's option picked up, probably Koloko and more, and still the Clippers would want more picks than Masai would give up. Just a pipedream. An expensive one because they'd have no choice but to pay up on Fred, Gary and Jakob this summer and go way over the tax line.
3.) 03 Mar 2023 07:57:31
Brooks Kennard Adams + 2 1sts
I’d then look to send LaRavia out for a true center
Morant/ Jones
Bane/ Roddy
PG/ Williams
JJJ/ Aldama
TRADE/ Clarke.
4.) 03 Mar 2023 07:57:48
I would sent the house on often injured players.
5.) 03 Mar 2023 23:18:16
Wouldn’t* lol.
02 Mar 2023 18:29:39
PHX vs GS
SAC vs DAL
Would be a fun 1st round to watch
DEN and MEM would easily beat any of LAL, MIN, POR, would have a little hard time against the LAC & NOLA though
1.) 02 Mar 2023 19:23:20
I just dropped a bet that the 4-5 first round will be Kings vs Clippers.
2.) 03 Mar 2023 07:59:00
Honestly Ik a lot hate the Lakers… but IF* fully healthy going into playoffs I don’t see the Nuggets easily beating them, if at all.
3.) 04 Mar 2023 17:07:19
I guess it would depend on how you define "easily". But I think the Lakers major problem is figuring out which players/ rotations work. With the injuries and newly acquired starters/ players, Coach Ham is back to square #1 in trying to figure out his rotations right now. And once Lebron comes back in 3 weeks, then he has to switch everything again. Just no chemistry and/ or consistency to consider the Lakers a real threat to win any playoff series.
28 Feb 2023 18:50:33
POR vs HOU
Pg Lillard/Stoudemire
Sg Roy/McCollum
Sf Drexler/Pippen
Pf Aldridge/Wallace

Vs
Pg Paul/Francis
Sg Harden/Gordon
Sf McGrady/Battier

1.) 28 Feb 2023 19:24:59
Duckworth over Camby?
28 Mar 2023 15:09:52
Rockets wont do it.
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 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.
23 Mar 2023 14:03:40
So you got your eyes on Austin now.
20 Mar 2023 11:58:27
This is the route that both teams should do. Looks beneficial to all parties.
26 Mar 2023 14:49:02
Yes, and maybe for your bench, Tatum, Giannis & Booker would be amazing.
26 Mar 2023 08:52:39
If Paolo and Franz turn into a Tatum-Brown combo or better, they'll be good next year. But I suggest to get some vet help ala Horford, Iggy & Adams.
21 Mar 2023 04:50:42
Love the confidence Fred, but i wouldnt bet against the Warriors with a healthy Steph Klay and Draymond in the playoffs.
11 Mar 2023 08:51:48
I'd like to keep the team especially DLo, Vanderbilt & Reaves and see how they'd do in a fully healthy roster. I also want AD to be playing PF again by getting one legit center.
09 Feb 2023 22:18:17
Lmao the 1st round pick for Bamba that you dream didnt come.
