15 Oct 2025 04:20:28
Why do the Wolves want k-love. He left.

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.

23 Sep 2025 23:53:35
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.

10 Sep 2025 22:34:57
I really like this for the Celtics. Hornets and Hawks do pretty good as well.

Not sure Utah accepts this package; those firsts are mediocre.

Miami Heat: Lauri Markkanen, Georges Niang

Washington Wizards: Andrew Wiggins, Simone Fontecchio

Utah Jazz: Terry Rozier III, Khris Middleton, 2x1st RP (Heat), 1st RP(Wizards)

17 Aug 2025 20:01:30
Washington would not have the slightest interest in doing this.

11 Aug 2025 03:40:19
Cavs get: Royce O'Neale and Nick Richards
Suns get: Kyle Anderson and '27 SRP via Nuggets
Jazz get: Max Strus

Why?
Cavs get Mitchell's bestie and a back-up big.
Suns add a point forward and a second-round pick.
Jazz adds a veteran shooter.

Thunder gets: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Mobley needs to get more touches. We get a great package for Mitchell.
Thunder gets a superstar who fits great next to SGA.

sixers: Markkanen+Martin
Jazz: P George+ Bailey+ 1rnd pick Clippers 28

31 Jul 2025 17:44:53
Isn't Bailey already on the Jazz?

*jazz: p george+ edgecombe+1rnd pick clippers 28.

01 Aug 2025 11:51:36
Pretty bad for Philly. Markannen has lost a lot of his luster. He had one great season for a bad team and is now getting paid. His value is not great.

27 Jul 2025 10:42:06
BMiller if I propose this, would you consider?

POR/UTA

POR get Lauri Markkanen

UTA get Jerami Grant, Kris Murray, 2 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps (UTAH's choice)

POR start to build pieces to compete

Fully healthy

Pg Lillard/Henderson
Sg Holiday/Sharpe
Sf Avdija/Thybulle
Pf Markkanen/Camara
Ce Clingan/Williams/Yang

28 Jul 2025 01:49:24
I think I would. Though specifics on the picks might make me pause. I don’t think I’d give up any fully unprotected picks. And I’d wanna keep the Bucks pick and swaps.

I also think the first half of this season probably sways me a lot if this is a trade deadline deal. If Sharpe pops to an all star tier guy and Deni’s second half from last year continues, I’m in. If Scoot and Sharpe don’t improve at all, and Deni regresses, I’d be less inclined to make that deal.

22 Jul 2025 23:36:38
Spurs- markannen
Jazz- vassell, johnson& 2 1sts

24 Jul 2025 01:53:58
This would be such a perfect fit for SA. Not sure if it’s enough, but I love it for the Spurs.

17 Jul 2025 04:58:31
Since we're a second apron team, it got me thinking: Why not explore trades on a pick that we might lose anyway? Use it to upgrade our bench while we still, have it?

Cavs get: Walker Kessler and Brice Sensabaugh
Jazz get: Max Strus and '31 unprotected first

Why?
Cavs add bench depth, which includes a much needed big. We also save a lot of money.
Jazz get a high variable first.

Offer Walker Kessler a 4-year, $70 million extension.

Cavs get: Ousmane Dieng
Thunder get: Dean Wade

Why?
Cavs add a prospect they liked who could contribute. Wade is injury prone.
Thunder add a stretch big that would be a good fit in their roster.

Offer Ousmane Dieng a 4-year, $50 million extension.

PG: Darius Garland / Lonzo Ball / Craig Porter Jr.
SG: Donovan Mitchell / Sam Merrill / Tyrese Proctor
SF: De'Andre Hunter / Brice Sensabaugh / Jaylon Tyson
PF: Evan Mobley / Larry Nance Jr. / Ousmane Dieng
C: Jarrett Allen / Walker Kessler
Coach: Kenny Atkinson.

17 Jul 2025 18:36:00
The Jazz said no to Knecht +'31 1st, so why would they want Strus instead? Plus they add Senasabaugh? I know Jazz players arent that popular but this is horrible for them.

10 Jul 2025 20:57:23
DET/UTAH

DET get Lauri Markkanen

Pg Cunningham/Sasser
Sg Ivey/Robinson
Sf Thompson/LeVert
Pf Markkanen/Reed
Ce Duren/Stewart

UTAH get Ron Holland, Tobias Harris, Bobi Klintman & 3 1st round picks

Pg Collier/Holland
Sg George/Williams
Sf Sensabaugh/Bailey
Pf Harris/Filipowski/Anderson
Ce Kessler/Nurkic/Hendricks

09 Jul 2025 19:55:41
Miami Heat: Lauri Markkanen

Utah Jazz: Terry Rozier, 2RP(Heat), 1RP(Nets)

Brooklyn Nets: Andrew Wiggins

10 Jul 2025 20:41:51
Heat fan in the house.

06 Jul 2025 17:48:54
Cavs get: Bennedict Mathurin, Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, '27 and '29 unprotected firsts and 3 2nds ('27 Jazz, '28 Mavs and '29 Blazers)
Pacers get: Donovan Mitchell

Why?
Cavs trade Mitchell to give the keys to Mobley, getting some great 3&D players and picks and save some money as well.
Pacers get a superstar to compete next year and a good fit next to Haliburton.

06 Jul 2025 22:03:25
I take that
Haliburton, michell, siakam could be a great trio.

06 Jul 2025 22:56:26
Appreciate the feedback, especially one that comes from a Pacers fan.

07 Jul 2025 10:57:36
Trading 3 perimeter players for one when they just suddenly lost their center doesn't make any sense. Even if I didn't know a Cavs fan posted this, I'd know a Cavs fan posted this.

01 Jul 2025 18:50:11
Miami Heat: John Collins

Utah Jazz: Terry Rozier III

01 Jul 2025 23:02:22
I was thinking Collins for Derozan. Collins is a fit next to Sabonis and Derozan can mentor Ace. They're all expiring, but I don't see the motivation here for Utah.

30 Jun 2025 13:09:31
1)Pacers-Lakers-cleveland
Pacers: Reaves
Lakers: J Allen
Cleveland: Toppin+ Kneght+ 1rnd pick LA 31

2)Pacers-Warriors
Warriors:Siakam
Pacers:Kuminga+Moody+1rnd pick GS27 and 32

3)Pacers-Jazz
Jazz:Mathurin
Pacers: Bailey

4)Pacers:
sign Ayton

C:Ayton/Jackson
Pf:Kuminga/Walker
SF:Nesmith/Bailey
SG:Reaves/Moody
PG:Nembhard/McConnell

Pacers go in rebuilt mode, waiting for Hali to return, aiming for a high draft pick in 2026 and keeping the team under the Luxury tax. (Let Turner walk and trade Mathurin for a rookie contract)
