I don’t think I like any of this for Portland. I’d need at least two firsts. Even then, I don’t think I’d give up Camara for Ellis and a first.

30 Aug 2024 07:02:44
Why would portland do this?

Blazers / Hawks / Knicks / Clippers

Blazers get Powell (trade), Hunter, 1st from Hawks

Hawks get Ayton

Young
Bogdanovic
Rissacher
Johnson
Ayton

Knicks get Capela, Mann

Brunson/McBride/Payne
Mann/Divincenzo
Bridges/Hart/Robinson-Earl
Anunoby/Achiuwa/Okeke
Capela/Robinson

Clippers get Randle

Harden
Kawhi
Batum
Randle
Zubac

20 Aug 2024 08:56:12
wolves: Randle+Risacher

Atl:KAT

Knicks: Capela+J Johnson+ 1rnd pick LA 25

20 Aug 2024 16:07:51
Seems pretty steep for Atlanta and it feels like the Knicks are stealing value.

20 Aug 2024 23:43:19
Maybe remove Jalen Johnson and Atlanta might consider. He could be a good fit with Kat. Now if you can unload Hunter's contract too, that is a good deal.

20 Aug 2024 00:11:56
SAC - BKN

Sacramento receives: Finney-Smith, Wilson

Brooklyn receives: Huerter, future 2nd

BKN waives Keon Johnson

SAC depth:
Fox / Carter / McLaughlin
Ellis / Monk / Jones
DeRozan / Finney-Smith / McDaniels
Murray / Lyles / Wilson
Sabonis / Len / Robinson

BKN depth:
Simmons / Schroeder / Hayes
Thomas / Huerter / Milton
Johnson / Williams / Whitehead
Bogdanovic / Clowney / Watford
Claxton / Sharpe / FA

17 Aug 2024 10:18:04
Final trade:

GRIZ Powell, 1st lottery protected
MAVS Aldama

Aldama is the missing, you small line Center Mavs need. He is quite mobil but can shoot outside, score inside and is good defender with 6.11 size.

18 Aug 2024 23:43:22
Not sure the Grizz would do this. They're not tanking, and a lottery protected first does nothing for them.

17 Aug 2024 00:22:37
Utah-Nop

Utah get Hawkins & 1st rd pick

Nop get Kessler

18 Aug 2024 23:46:06
I think NOP can afford to give up more, which is the only reason Utah considers it.

14 Aug 2024 07:08:29
NO: M Turner+Nesmith

Pacers:Ingram

NO:
C:Turner/Theis /Missi
PF:Zion/h Jones
SF:Murphy/Nesmith
SG:Mccollum/Hawkins
PG:Murray/Alvarado

Pacers:
C:Jackson/Wiseman
PF:Siakam/toppin
SF:Ingram/J Wallace
SG:Mathurin/Sheppard
PG:Haliburton:Nemhard

14 Aug 2024 22:57:24
If I'm Indiana, it's a no. They have a great thing going, no need to take a chance on a player who wants a lot of money and has question marks.

16 Aug 2024 15:05:24
I think Ingram would be great.
Indy has everything accept a closer.

I like Turner, but i believe we can develop Wiseman and Jackson is the better rebounder.
I think other teams are going to overpay for Turner next year, so we would lose him for free. That makes the Ingram trade a small gamble.

17 Aug 2024 12:12:50
Ingram is injury prone but worse than that, he was benched during playoff crunch time while healthy. Forget the players going out, I wouldn't want my team responsible for his next contract.

18 Aug 2024 23:46:48
Ingram is a gamble but at that price, it's a no brainer for Indy.

14 Aug 2024 00:51:14
Cleveland gets: De'Andre Hunter
Atlanta gets: Jaylon Tyson, Georges Niang, Ty Jerome and 2 2nds (2025 and 2026 via Cavs)

Why?
Cleveland gets their starting SF.
Atlanta gets a good prospect and unload Hunter's contract.

14 Aug 2024 22:59:10
Is Cleveland cool paying Hunter 20 mil or whatever with what they are going to have to pay Mobley? I do like Hunter though.

18 Aug 2024 23:50:51
I'm assuming they'd be cool with it. We don't have a single quality SF on the roster, Hunter is a high risk, high reward type of player with low trade value.

11 Aug 2024 21:01:30
Cleveland gets: Tari Eason
Houston gets: Jaylon Tyson, draft rights to Luke Travers, 2030 unprotected swap, 2031 unprotected first, 5 second round picks of their choice.

Why?
Cleveland gets their starting SF.
Houston gets a nice package for a guy who plays their strongest position.

PG: Darius Garland / Craig Porter Jr. / Ty Jerome
SG: Donovan Mitchell / Max Strus / Sam Merrill
SF: Tari Eason / Caris LeVert / Isaac Okoro
PF: Evan Mobley / Dean Wade / Georges Niang
C: Jarrett Allen / Khalifa Diop
Coach: Kenny Atkinson.

11 Aug 2024 02:34:12
Cleveland receives: Rui Hachimura
Los Angeles receives: Georges Niang, Ty Jerome and 4 2nds (2025 Cavs and Bucks, 2026 Cavs and 2027 Nuggets)

Why?
Cavs get a wing. Hachimura is pretty skilled, and I think he still has room to grow.
Los Angeles gets a few 2nds and unload his contract for cap flexibility.

PG: Darius Garland / Craig Porter Jr.
SG: Donovan Mitchell / Max Strus / Sam Merrill
SF: Rui Hachimura / Caris LeVert / Jaylon Tyson
PF: Evan Mobley / Dean Wade / Luke Travers
C: Jarrett Allen / Khalifa Diop
Coach: Kenny Atkinson

Why so many seconds? Initially, I thought about a Strus for Hachimura straight swap as it made sense for both teams. However, Strus is easily our best shooter and losing him could hurt us. His floor spacing is very important for this team.
