Pacers trade is awful. We would not trade for another guard
If the blazers land scoot and want to keep dame. Package him and sum picks to the raptors for OG and siakam
Blazers trade is trash. Simons plus 3 (essentially) for one guaranteed year of siakam ? While including a 23 21ppg scorer (as second option ) and the 3rd overall pick that’ll either be a generational point guard talent or an extremely good small forward talent ? If that’s the trade I don’t think Portland does it
No way orlando gives up that much. Orlando has 2 first round picks I believe they will keep
Trade Beal for Maxey and Harris.
As a Raptors fan, I’m praying for the Siakam trade, I’d take Shaedon over Simons, but I’d accept nonetheless
Pacers trade is awful for them
Blazers aren’t trading the 3rd pick.
Masai has said over and over. There's no rebuild coming
Siakam ain’t saving no one. You can keep him Toronto
Lavine trade is trash
Zion for Simons and 3rd pick
As a mavs fan giving up both the 10th and hardy, no thank you
Would love to trade Turner for that package.
Pascal Siakam and Damian Lillard would win a ring
If I was the Magic I would 100% make that trade, If I was Blazers hell no would I make that trade, As for Raptors getting the 8th pick for a sign and trade is a solid deal, Washington is fooling itself if they feel they can compete by adding Van Fleet it would be soooo stupid but that is what Washington does consistently. The Mavs trade I like for BOTH teams IF and a big IF, IF Maves resign Irving. I would only make this trade knowing that Kyrie is coming back, but if no Kyrie I would not make the trade
Lillard for brunson is the tough one to make
If the blazers don’t trade Dame I’d be absolutely stunned, the amount of picks and young talent you could get for Dame whilst beginning your rebuilding process with a top 3 pick in a stacked draft class seems way too good to instead build a new team around dame that at best gets bounced in the 2nd round
Grant Siakam fit is bizarre. They need more of an OG or Mikal, AND a C upgrade. I think it’s either draft and trade Dame, they’d have an amazing young core and assets…or trade the pick and Simons. Two timeline thing isn’t gonna work. They don’t need to gut everything, can keep sharpe and lower level guys like walker etc. but if they rly wanna win it’ll take multiple moves. I’d move Dame, but idt they will.
I think it’d mean calling Chicago, getting that pick they owe protected for one less yr by offering to lower the protections in a cpl. Maybe like T8 instead of T14 in last cpl. Then moving ‘29, and Simons…and Nurkic and P3. Maybe you get a lotto pick back in a deal so you can at least draft another guy, but they need an upgrade on Simons defensively, another SF, AND an upgrade on Nurkic. That’d take trading a TON.
Rumor is DAL is interested in Ayton. I have that on good authority. PHX wants depth. Idk if DAL can get it done tho. THJr and 10 are things PHX are interested in, but they’d need to find a 3rd team to take Bertans (not a horrible deal anymore, can be waive and stretched for like 22m over 5yrs) and pick 10 for a solid player. Idk who that’d be. It might come down to giving up Josh green or not and that would likely make the deal fall apart. But you never know. I just know not many teams want Ayton, and DAL does. Thought I’d share.
If I we're the blazers, if they want to trade to continue to try to contend, I'll chose OG over Siakam. The blazers might not need to trade the pick for OG or at least they'll swap picks.
Dillion brooks trade for Dwight Howard in china
Scottie will be the face of the Raptors rebuild
That is a crazy trade for the blazers. Way too much for siakam
All these trades are trash lol
Raptors get 3/4 firsts for OG Annunoby and the restart is already good 😊
Washington doesn’t,t have dick to offer.
The raptors currently constructed still crush Washington.
They are going to have to give up a lot more to get Fred an all star a year ago. As he has said he wants to stay in toronto and the raptors have the cap space to resign him and the others
All 4 of these trades are one sided. I disagree with all 4
Tuner to Dallas is a pretty good idea tbf
Mavs rather keep and draft from 10 than giving up hardy, yes they need someone like Turner but they can't give up their future anymore, if 10th pick plus thj / wood is not going to get job done then, next thing for them is to trade down and get Derrick lively for someone like cason wallace, kobe bufkin and get a rotational player in return that fits, but this trade is not gonna be happening.
I don't see the bulls doing that sending lavine to the magic where they get in return Jonathan issac who's barely healthy and hasn't played. If healthy he's a great defender and solid offensively same case with Harris also Suggs might have potential on a rebuilding bulls team, getting the 11th pick
I can’t even describe to you how happy I am that Fred is gonna leave he is a burden to this team
Simmons is an undersized SG with little D, not a raptors type player.
mow if you trade ivey thats gonna be another brunson mistake 😂
Honestly a backcourt of Hardy and Halliburton sounds amazing
Scoot will be a Hornet bro
