NBA rumours 3

25 Sep 2025 04:58:26
Cavs get: Dalen Terry
Bulls get: Dean Wade

Why?
Cavs add a back-up 3. Hunter is our only true 3 and he has an injury history.
Bulls get a veteran stretch 4 who can mentor their young forwards.

25 Sep 2025 03:52:50
Cavs get: Ousmane Dieng, '26 first via Jazz and '28 srp via Jazz

​Thunder get: Dean Wade


Why?
Cavs get a player they liked in the draft who still has potential and also get a 1st round pick and a 2nd.

Thunder get a battle tested stretch 4 on a cheap deal. Thunder don't have a true stretch 4.

25 Sep 2025 16:10:09
Thunder not giving up a young player and a 1st for that.

24 Sep 2025 21:03:54
Miami Heat: Dorian Finney-Smith, Steven Adams


Houston Rockets: Terry Rozier III

24 Sep 2025 23:23:14
Miami owes value. Finney Smith and Adams are important role players for Houston.

25 Sep 2025 00:34:33
Joke of the year candidate.

With all the talk of Giannis and potential getting traded i like this trade the best

Raptors and Bucks

Bucks would receive Ingram, dick, CMB, and a bunch of first round picks.

Barnes would stay and if the bucks wanted him they you switch him for Ingram. Keeping Barnes would be better for defense but Ingram is probably better beside Giannis.

Utah - Detroit - Portland

Utah get Jerami Grant, Jaden Ivey, 3 1sts from Detroit, 1st from Portland (lottery protected), 1st round swap Detroit

Detroit get Lauri Markkanen & Doup Reath

Portland get Tobias Harris (exp) - can be flipped by deadline


Utah gets a haul for Markkanen
Detroit gets a star
Portland saves money for the future


Cunningham/Sasser
LeVert/Holland
Thompson/Robinson/Green
Markkanen/Reath
Duren/Stewart/Reed

24 Sep 2025 14:01:00
I would prefer Holland (+ Klintman or Sasser) if I were UTA, which has many guards but not enough wings, and I think he is also more expendable in DET as well.

24 Sep 2025 18:35:45
From a Portland perspective, absolutely positively no. No world I’m giving up a first for Tobias Harris, or to be rid of Grant. Portland really doesn’t need to clear cap. Picks are far more valuable if they want to make a move and add talent. They’re not signing anyone in FA, they’d have to add via trade.

27 Sep 2025 08:37:34
I disagree because by next off-season they are gonna have to give an extension to Camara and Shaedon Sharpe. And 2027 they are gonna have to make a decision about Scoot. Plus how can you really justify having a player coming off the bench that's making 32 mill this season and next year making 34 and has a player option for 36 mill. They missed their opportunity to trade Jerami Grant last off-season now no team wants his contract without giving something else up. Plus they have Jrue Holidays contract which isn't gonna be easy to move as well.

White-Holiday
Thompson-Sheppard-Hauser

- next season

Vanvleet-Pritchard
Brown-Simons
Tatum-Shierman-Gonzales
Smith Jr-Walsh
Queta-Boucher-Tillman

23 Sep 2025 20:52:10
Love it for the Rockets. Not sure about Boston, the value seems fine but having to absorb FVV with such an expensive roster, don't know if they'd do it.

22 Sep 2025 20:45:24
Cavs get: Goga Bitadze and Jett Howard
Magic get: Max Strus and Craig Porter Jr.

Why?
Cavs address some needs and save money.
Magic get a young point guard on a team friendly deal.

22 Sep 2025 19:55:29

Bulls get: Max Strus and 4 2nds ('26, '27 Nuggs, '28 and '32)

Why?
Cavs address some needs and save some money.

21 Sep 2025 22:54:41
Philly - Nola

Philly gets dejounte murray, herb Jones & 3 1st round picks

Nola gets maxey & oubre

Given murray's injury, it requires nola to give up more than a 1st to acquire maxey. Maxey is a star who gets a chance to be in a new environment

Murphy/Oubre/Mcdaniels
Williamson/Bey/Queen
Missi/Looney
