3 . Blazers get KD & Joe Harris. Nets get #7 pick, Anfernee Simons (sign-and-trade), Jusuf Nurkic (sign-and-trade), two future first round picks w/ protections + two pick swaps.

4 . Wizards get KD. Nets get #10 pick, Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious-Caldwell Pope, Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert, two future first round picks w/ protections + two pick swaps.

Ayton and bridges are way more valuable than Williams and smart, yet phx has to give up same amount of picks? Even with ayton playing soft he still avg. Almost twice as many pts as Williams and has way more upside. Bridges should hv been def. Player of the year. Smarts a great def. But bridges usually covers the other teams best player every night whether it's 1-5. Smart doesn't guard guys like kd and lebron, yet bridges still has to guard small guys like Lillard, trey young.

Michael Grange on Twitter:

"Pretty good pre-draft workout for Raptors today at OVO: Pascal Siakam; OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes. "

I think we can put all those outside rumors to rest.

23 Jun 2022 20:16:08
One workout doesn’t change trade rumors. Players have been traded mid game before.

24 Jun 2022 01:54:17
guys who want out don't show for off season workouts. or teammates charity softball games for that matter.

24 Jun 2022 06:12:25
Robert Covington did.

Also Jared Dudley was trade right after a summer practice while finding out in the locker room.

Can definitely happen if the offer is good.

Can't Philly just let Green walk? Thought he was non guaranteed.

24 Jun 2022 02:00:43
@Nightcap - his salary can bring back a player of similar salary who can contribute, going over the nontax MLE without using that MLE. they'd have to attach an asset (1st) but if there's a team with a lot of young players (like OKC) that can afford to carry the unproductive salary (like Houston and John Wall last year) . if they don't guarantee him they basically lose that $10M roster spot because they can't replace it while over the cap.

Cavs getting 49th from Kings

23 Jun 2022 19:12:49
Cleveland has purchased Kings second rounder #49. Can't just send cash considerations so Cleveland included the rights to a foreign player who will probably never see the NBA.

23 Jun 2022 18:47:47
Raptor's and king's.


Raptor's get 4th pick 2022, holms and Barnes.

Kings get Siakim and Flynn.

Kings would do well with siakim and sabonis two bigs who can play off each other. Then you have fox and others on the wing.

23 Jun 2022 19:13:58
easy pass by Kings. Trade fills one of two holes the Kings have while creating a new hole on the wing.

24 Jun 2022 11:34:13
You get an all-star like Siakam, you take that lol.

23 Jun 2022 18:17:51
Looks like Orlando is trading pick 35 to the Lakers for cash and a 2028 2nd round pick.

That is beyond bad for Orlando.

23 Jun 2022 18:39:02
Great move for Lakers to add a young rotational piece.

23 Jun 2022 19:48:12
Today's number 1 pick of Orlando will someday go to the Lakers too. Shaq? Dwight?

Boston - Utah - Philly

Boston get Mike Conley

Utah get Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle & pick 23

Philly get Derrick White, Daniel Theis, Bojan Bogdanovic & 2nd rd pick Boston

Then Utah send Royce Oneale & 23 to Denver for Monte Morris

Utah

Morris
Mitchell
Thybulle
Harris
Gobert

Philly
Sign Tucker

Maxey
Harden
Bogdanovic
Tucker
Embiid

Boston

Conley
Smart
Brown
Tatum
Williams/Horford

If Conley has enough left then I think it's fair for Boston.
