NBA rumours 4

Mavs need to be brace and confident!

Go for Harper to get your guard and go for another good pick like Peat or be lucky and get Boozer - having some picks and future CAP in addition.

Bulls want the playoffs and Spurs want a ring and you never know how long a tall guy like Wembanyama stays health!

CHI Irving, Johnson, Gafford
DAL Harper, Essengue - fillers SAN & CHI
SAN Davis, White, Marshall.

Dylan Harper is untouchable. It would take an insane offer to pry him away. Anthony Davis ain't it.

31 Jan 2026 09:10:00
A lot of chatting here - are there also serious experts?

Look, Harper is not even top 10 in rookies ranking. He is a great talent - but what does he need? BTW like Flagg. Playing time - and time.

So if SAN says, look we are building - no way.

But they got for Fox. You have Wemby - look at 76ers - with 10y health Embiid they would one of the leaders - are they?

If SAN says, we want to win the next 3 years, what do they have? 3 PG Fox, Castle, Harper - PF? Barnes?

White delivers better impact as Harper for now - Davis AND Mashall improve the roster on the forward side - SAN becomes a real contender - still have a lot young players.

Mavs give away a lot - in point of view "winning". But they build and with Flagg and Harper and even, Christie, Lively, Essengue around they may be able to build become contender in some years.

Facts.

It doesn't matter if Harper isn't getting starter minutes. The Spurs are high on him. He's almost as untouchable as Cooper Flagg.

There’s a report telling that Giannis might consider pairing up with Ant in Minnesota. But Minnesota doesnt really have the assets to acquire him so they would need to be creative:

Minnesota-Milwaukee-LA Lakers-Detroit

Minnesota get Giannis, Turner, Vincent, Trent Jr, D Robinson
- they get the superstar pairing with Ant and get rotational players who can shoot

Divincenzo/ Conley/ Vincent
Edwards/ Trent Jr
Robinson/ Shannon
Giannis/ Reid/ Ingles
Turner/ Beringer

Milwaukee get Ayton, T Harris, Knecht, Dillingham, Kleber (exp), Vanderbilt, 2 1sts from Lakers, 3 1sts from Detroit, 2026 & 2032 1sts from Minnesota, 2028 swap with Minnesota
- rebuild

Lakers get Gobert & Levert
- gets a defensive anchor and a bench scoring option

Doncic/ Smart/ James Jr
Reaves/ Laravia
Lebron/ Levert
Hachimura/ Timme/ Thiero
Gobert/ Hayes

Detroit get McDaniels, Randle, G harris
- consolidates and goes all in

Cunningham/ Jenkins/ Sasser
Thompson/ Ivey/ Harris
McDaniels/ Holland
Randle/ Klintman/ Reed
Duren/ Stewart.

29 Jan 2026 23:42:00
Giannis would make a difference!

DET LaRavia, Knecht
MIL Reaves, Hachimura, Thiero, Kleber, LeVert, 1st 2027 DET, 1st 2031 LA, 1st swap LA 2030 and 2029
LAL Giannis, Prince, Harris, Thianis, Alexanis : )

Ayton, Hayes
Giannis, Vanderbilt
Prince, LeBron
Luca, Harris
Smart, Vincent.

Who is alexanis.

Trade between pelicans/ Pistons helps both teams.

Pelicans trade:
D. Murray, K. Looney, K. Metkovic
$40,756,480



Pistons trade;
C. Levert, J. Ivey, P. Reed, Klintman
I. Jones
$33,457,811 (works on trade machine)

29 Jan 2026 19:54:54
How does that help the Pistons when Murray is injured and they lose rotational pieces.

29 Jan 2026 22:49:57
It doesn't matter if he takes the rest of the season until next season begins. Do you think 1 of 29 teams would like to get 14m under the tax or maybe two teams at 7m? Or 4 teams at 3.5m and receive a couple 2nd rounders?

29 Jan 2026 22:58:58
Pistons trade exemption
14.1m
Got to use it or lose it!

29 Jan 2026 02:17:51

Build nextgen:

Simple trades work:

Detroit improve to content now:

DET Irving, Gafford, Martin
DAL Ivey, 1st 2026 >> LeVert, Robinson

Spurs become contenter immediatelly:

SAN Davis, Ivey
DAL Harper, Sochan >> Olynyk, Barnes, Waters, Biyombo

Mavericks have a future to content, some first 2026 and a max CAP.

Warriors keep Butler and improve:

GSW Thompson, Marshall, Sochan
DAL Kiminga, Moody, Santos

Mave trade Washington at draft day and try to go for Boozer.

Harper, Christia, Flagg, Kuminga (Boozer or so), Lively.

28 Jan 2026 16:27:19
Dallas can only get Harper by trading Flagg.

26 Jan 2026 21:34:55
HOU gets Ausar Thompson and Jaden Ivey

DET gets Tari Eason and Jabari Smith.

27 Jan 2026 00:02:29
Love it for both teams.

26 Jan 2026 21:32:42
MIN gets Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Patrick Williams, Dalen Terry, Trey Jones 3 1st round picks, a 2nd and POR 1st

CHI gets Anthony Edwards, Rob Dillingham, TSJ, Joan Berringer

Bulls

Giddey/ Dillingham
Edwards/ TSJ/
Buzelis/ Huerter/ Okoro
Smith/ Berringer/ Essengue
Vucevic/ Collins.

26 Jan 2026 22:20:00
Horrible for a contender like Minnesota.

27 Jan 2026 18:41:13
Chicago doesn't have the assets to get someone like Edwards. It would take a massive overpay to get the TWolves to consider trading Ant.

26 Jan 2026 17:03:42
Pels. Morant KCP
Grizzlies. Murray Poole.

27 Jan 2026 17:43:12
I like this.

26 Jan 2026 11:52:32
NYK-SAS-DET
SAS get: Yabusele, Dadiet
NYK get: Sochan, Lanier
DET get: Waters, NYK 2026 second

Spurs swap their backup 4 with a rotation wing/ big in a team-friendly contract and a flier on a rookie contract. Helps that both are French.

Knicks get a wing defender that they lack and a recent 2nd round pick in Lanier.

Pistons grab a shooter who played for them last year, and a 2nd for helping facilitate the trade.
