Ok now we all know everyone likes to mock kings front office on every trade…everyone destroyed them for the Fox trade, but now that Trae young gets traded for no picks just to get out of his 46mm contract and now wizards get the option to extend him…. did the kings do so badly getting 2 1st round picks for Fox and not have to pay him a 229mm 4 yr max deal that won’t age well? Seems like Fox and Trae young similar players bad defense etc …. and well aware took lavine contract but also got out of red velvet contract when he couldn’t hit the side of a barn.

My updated World team in Allstar 2026 game:
Starting: Luka, SGA, Giannis,Jokic, Wemby
Bench: Murray, Giddey and Sengun
*Im putting Kat Towns in USA team side
* Markannen and Siakam are in lower seed team, I dont think they will not be pick in this year Allstar game
*Franz W is injured and his return timeline will affect his chances

8 players per team is a terrible format for me. I believe they should’ve made it 12 vs 12 in World vs USA format. Too many international players deserve to be chosen.
Atlanta - trade Young or Risacher and let Johnson be the man
Boston - upgrade on bigs (can target AD, Sabonis or Markkanen)
Brooklyn - maximize Porter's and Thomas' value and trade them to a contender for assets, Porter can help Phoenix or Chicago, Thomas can be a good sixth man for the Rockets
Charlotte - move on from Lamelo and build around Miller and Knueppel (can swap him for someone like Garland or Dejounte)
Cleveland - swap Garland for a defensive guard or wing (thinking Dejounte Murray or Holiday)
Chicago - get a center who can play defense like Gobert, Allen etc.
Denver - can use an upgrade on backup point guard
Detroit - they need to swing a big move for a star (Markannen, AD or Siakam)
Golden State - a true center and let go of the small ball
Houston - get a backup guard to lead the bench
Indiana - if they can trade Siakam for great assets, do it but if they cant, just tank the season and get a high pick
LA Clippers - they should trade Kawhi and retool around Harden
LA Lakers - a consistent scorer off the bench or a defensive forward like Murphy, Jones, Wiggins, etc.
Miami - a bonafide star, i believe they have assets and good young players to make a great package for someone like Giannis. They can also put together a trade to get Markkanen, AD or even Kawhi?
Milwaukee - Giannis needs all the help he can get or else he will be gone. But the lack of assets can force them to settle for someone like Lavine, Derozan or PG
Minnesota - bench have been underwhelming, they need a replacement to NAW
New Orleans - trade Zion, Poole, Murray and build around Fears Murphy and Queen
New York - only move that can improve them is by making a bold trade for a superstar like Giannis. Do they have the assets though
Oklahoma City - just need to stay healthy
Orlando - a defensive center
Philadelphia - move on from Embiid or PG
Phoenix - they need a true point guard like Garland, Holiday or Murray
Portland - consolidate assets to get a superstar
Sacramento - trade everyone except Murray and Clifford and rebuild
San Antonio - forward upgrade for a better complement to Wemby like Markkanen or Siakam
Toronto - an upgrade at center position and shooting
Utah - get the best package for Markkanen
Washington - they need to start thinking of getting a building block. Someone like Zion, Lamelo Ball, someone with very high potential unlike what they have on their roster

good analysis, you don't often see people with this good knowledge of all of the teams.

Top 5 teams looking like the future is doomed (not in particular order)
Clippers- no choice but to compete but they are completely struggling, OKC own their future and no young player to build around
Bucks- almost same as clippers, yes they can stack some wins but this is not a championship caliber squad tbh.
- Giannis might be gone soon
Pelicans- by now they should be in the position to compete but injuries keep on destroying the teams' potential. I dont see anything good that is happening despite having a lot of picks and young players.
Reco: Trade away Murray, Poole and Zion
Wizards- same with Pelicans, have the assets but there is no clear top notch player on their youngsters. They are bad as is
Kings - looks like a makeshift squad and if your best player is Russell Westbrook (yes he is) at that age, you are doomed
Reco: Get as much assets for Sabonis, dump Lavine and Derozan, they arent winners
Honorable mention: Brooklyn Nets (so many young players with very low ceiling)
Top 5 teams with best future (not in order)
Thunder - man, already won a championship, big 3 is secured and all what they have is simply replaceable with that many of high draft picks - Presti the genius
Rockets - despite having an aging Durant, they still have a lot of young players and building assets for their future. Looks like they can potentially swing a huge consolidating move to elevate their potential even more
Spurs - same with Rockets, and they have Wemby. That's it
Blazers - I believe this team has a lot of good young players and they have assets to swing a huge trade for a superstar like Giannis
Magic - though they gave up a lot for Bane, atleast they positioned themselves to compete now. While having Paolo and Franz having a Tatum-Brown partnership vibes, they can really be special in the future. Just need to be more patient
Honorable Mention: Chicago Bulls - Giddey and Buzelis looking like a pair of stars for their future

Can Scottie Barnes realistically win DPOY this year?
If Wemby misses the 65-game limit, Scottie is next up in terms of stocks (steals + blocks) per game. He's been anchoring a strong Raptors team with decent defence. He's been the POA defender while also playing spot minutes at C.
Who else is in contention? I haven't watched a ton of ball outside of the Raps so I don't wanna be too biased here.
