ORL-WAS

ORL get McCollum (exp)
WAS get A. Black, T. Jones, Isaac

ORL gets another dynamic playmaker while trading depth

WAS gets a flier on Black while taking vets that can flip them later for more assets. (Both Isaac and T. Jones have started rough but they may bounce back) .

Bane/ CJ
Suggs/ J. Richardson
F. Wagner/ DaSilva
Banchero/ J. Howard
Carter/ Bitadze.

20 Nov 2025 23:16:11
They're not trading Black for CJ, he's an important piece for Orlando.

20 Nov 2025 13:07:37
IND gets Holland, Klintman, T. Harris (exp) +2 1st from DET
DET gets: Siakam

DET get their Second Star, one that doesn't hinder their def. ID (p. e Markkanen)

IND get young wings to retool around Hali
(they do not need a guard like Ivey) .

Cade/ Ivey
D. Robinson/ LeVert
Ausar/ J. Green
Siakam/ BeefStew
Duren/ Reed.

22 Nov 2025 14:54:49
I love Siakam and I think he'd be an amazing fit alongside Cade. I'm just wondering if:
a) Indy wants to rebuild/ retool
b) Detroit would want to give up Holland.

NOP/PHX/IND

NOP get Benedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard, Royce Oneale & 1st round pick PHX
- I dont know how to value Zion at all but here the Pels add some good pieces to build with Murphy and Herb Jones. They should trade Poole and Murray after this though

Pg Nembhard/Hawkins (Murray)
Sg Mathurin/Fears (Poole)
Sf Jones/Oneale/Bey
Pf Murphy/Queen
Ce Missi/Looney/Matkovic

PHX get Pascal Siakam & Jose Alvarado
- gets a star vet player to go with Booker and company and a gritty point guard

Pg Booker/Alvarado/Gillespie
Sg Allen/Goodwin
Sf Brooks/Dunn
Pf Siakam/Ighodaro
Ce Williams/Richards/Maluach

IND get Zion Williamson & Jalen Green
- a super risky move but a jackpot if they can get it together. Haliburton-Green-Zion would be fun to watch (yeah they need to stay healthy)

Pg Haliburton/McConnell
Sg Nesmith/Sheppard
Sf Green/Furphy
Pf Williamson/Toppin
Ce Jackson/Huff/Bradley

19 Nov 2025 14:55:20
Awful for Indy.

19 Nov 2025 06:35:02
BOS/UTAH/HOU

BOS get Lauri Markkanen & Jsean Tate

UTAH get Fred VanVleet, Sam Hauser, Chris Boucher, 3 1st round picks from BOS, 2 1st round picks from HOU

HOU get Derrick White & Kevin Love

19 Nov 2025 14:56:48
Brutal for Boston, White has as much or more value than Markannen, who some view as not worth his contract.

21 Nov 2025 17:59:19
Markkanen is worth more than White very easily. I can’t imagine thinking Markkanen (averaging 31 and 6 on great shooting) isn’t worth his contract.

Maybe not 3 firsts more than White. But Boston’s firsts are not very valuable.

22 Nov 2025 12:47:18
There are people who think Markannen doesn't have a lot of value at the money he's making and it sounds like you're purely looking at numbers. Putting up numbers for a bad team is nothing special. He needs to help a team win and has yet to do that. He may be considered a better player than White, though I'm not sure, but White is viewed as a much better contract and that makes all the difference in value during this era.

22 Nov 2025 13:10:05
Also, the ESPN top 100 has Markannen at 43 and White at 26. That's not everything but it suggests that White has more value even if their contacts were identical, yet in reality Markannen makes significantly more.

22 Nov 2025 16:34:34
I can argue that if you put Markannen instead of White on that Boston’s roster, they can be way better.

23 Nov 2025 00:58:36
Way better? For when? He's never played more than 66 games in his whole career.

19 Nov 2025 04:55:50
Utah gets: Sochan, Johnson or Vassell. and picks

SA gets Lauri Markanen.

18 Nov 2025 17:10:22

Avdija-Thybulle-Cissoko
Giannis-Camara
Clingan-Williams-Yang

Milwaukee

18 Nov 2025 16:19:18
Simple roster balancing swap

Raptors trade Agbaji, Mogbo, and a 2nd
Magic trade Bitadze

Toronto gets a good backup C to soak up minutes and Magic get a rotational piece that stabilizes their defense, and a prospect big.

Toronto converts AJ Lawson

TOR:
Poeltl/Bitadze
Barnes/Mamukelashvili/Battle
Ingram/Murray-Boyles/Temple
Barrett/Dick/Lawson
Quickley/Shead/Walter

ORL:
Carter Jr./Isaac/Robinson
Banchero/Da Silva/Mogbo
F. Wagner/Agbaji/Howard
Bane/Black/Penda
Suggs/T. Jones/Richardson

Thoughts?

19 Nov 2025 14:58:16
Bitadzes not worth all that.

18 Nov 2025 12:42:30
WSH/LAC

WSH get Bogdanovic, Jones Jr & Beal

LAC get McCollum

18 Nov 2025 16:21:15
according to Fanspo LA doesn't have enough players after this trade, and anyway I think they don't need a consolidation trade right now.

18 Nov 2025 08:57:32
spurs:F Van Vleet+Finney smith+ 1rnd pick Brooklyn 27+ 1rnd pick Suns 27+ 1rnd pick Hou 31

Hous: Fox

Hou
C: Sengun/Adams
PF:Smith/Eaton
SF:Durant/tate
SG:Thompson/Okogie
PG:fox/Sheppard

Spurs:
Draft Boozer
C:Wemby
PF:Boozer
SF:Vassell
SG:Harper
PG:Castle

18 Nov 2025 12:40:35
Spurs say no they are not rebuilding.

18 Nov 2025 17:29:41
The Spurs say heck yes. The value is too good, especially for a player like Fox.

18 Nov 2025 21:35:22
If Wemby was out longer it might make some sense but at the same time if you're the Spurs why would you help the Rockets and add another strong contender to compete against.
