Lavine's value must be extremely low. Not only has he accomplished essentially nothing while he's been on the Bulls, but the Bulls have actually looked better without him playing. His contact is so big I honestly don't know if it's worth it for any team to trade for him considering you gotta give up players too.
Zach Lavine to the Phoenix suns in exchange for Bradley Beal. The bulls get to move on from Lavine and the Suns get a healthy player back who is also younger and more on the Devin booker timeline with Lavine. Only problem with this trade would be if Bradley Beal still has the no trade clause which I’m not sure if that is still active on his contract or how that works? But if Beal doesn’t have that as part of his contract anymore, then I say the suns should do that. Maybe Beal can play a little for the bulls in a situation with no pressure to win and get his value back up to be traded to a contender by the deadline or offseason. Also Lavine is making 37mil this year Beal is making 43mil so might have to add in another small contract to make it work but I think this is the best trade the suns and bulls could do. There is really no market for Lavine and the suns can’t keep waiting around for Beal to be healthy unfortunately
I want to pay OG and let Siakam go. OG is still young and he’s been improving offensively year after year. Siakam is pushing 30 and directly takes the touches Scottie wants. I love spicy p but he doesn’t fit anymore. We want a young guard.
Masai will probably trade a future first for a center or something I am sure.
Davion Mitchell , Harrison Barnes , and Alex Len with a pick or two is what most kings fans are willing to trade maybe even huerter, but realistically All these teams want Keegan. Bro just had a 47 pt game with 12 made 3 pointers so he must’ve heard the rumors. We don’t want Lavine. Realistically i like Deni Advija and feel like we could trade Barnes straight up for him. Washington needs a vet presence and deni fits our schedule with his age
Personally id say Tre Mann, Micic, bertans, poku, kenrich williams and draft picks can all be pieces up for trades.
All those pieces + picks don't effect our current core at all and can possibly ALL be moved for him if needed, and wouldn't mess up the rotation lol. It's actually crazy.
too many nba fans are addicted to potential. maybe haliburton would have turn it up for the kings, but they needed to build a roster, and a trade worked out well for that situation. when you have a chance to get real fit upside and build your squad, you should be willing to move improving players like mathurin
You're correct. The Lakers aren't going to bite on a Lavine trade. The asking price is laughable Rui, D'Lo a pick AND Reaves? 😂😂🤣🤣 No. Its all from Lavine's camp in an attempt to get leverage.
re: Siakam/O.G. It really boils down to how confident a team is in their ability to re-sign either player. The Pacers were allegedly confident they can do so, and I know the Raptors were interested in Bennedict Mathurin in the 2022 draft. The real question is how exactly they get the money to work if Hield isn't in the deal because Buddy or Brown have to go to make the salaries match. Walker could be an interesting frontcourt partner for Scottie but he's been given so little NBA playtime (he's good in the G League) that it's hard to see him being a centerpiece even knowing the Raptors love their non-shooting, defensive forwards.
The Hawks offer really boils down to Kobe Bufkin who the Raptors were allegedly going to draft before Dick fell to 13. I don't think Hunter or Capela would stick around for the Raptors so at that point it's all about what they can reroute them for to another team.
The Kings just don't have the pieces to make a move. I get they aren't willing to trade Keegan but Davion Mitchell is struggling to get minutes. You aren't getting either player for a borderline bust and draft capital.
I do love the idea of the Thunder sizing up and trading for both Lauri and Siakam since they have that many assets where they would still have 30 picks to spare and plenty of young guys for depth but there's the obvious caveat of how expensive that team will get in the offseason, let alone when guys like Chet and J-Dub become extension eligible.
I have a odd feeling that Orlando is going to go after DeRosen not LaVine and the Magic have the players to make some moves. I think Orlando is in the belief that they have a team thats close but they need a veteran who can lead with out stepping on Banchero or Wagers feet. They have Anthony,Suggs,Black,Fultz, Howard all at gaurd and Isaac Carter and Ingles that all have value because they are playing 10 to 12 deep this year. I hope they don't make a panic move and I think giving it another year to grow would be the better idea or if they can get a true star dirt cheap then maybe but only if its a guy who wants to be there and will resign.
I think Markkanen’s best landing spot is honestly Philly, which hasn’t been talked abt at all. Low contract, big wing for Nurse and good spacer for Embiid/Maxey
When the Hawks and Raptors talked this summer, the holdup was the Hawks not including Kobe Bufkin in the trade. This is the player the Raptors want from Atl. There is no mystery. The Raptors need a PG of the future. They have too many forwards and not enough guards. If they are going to trade with the Pacers, it is Andrew Nembhard they will want in order to do a deal. The Kings don't have a PG available. Davion is a shrimp and won't get it done.
Philly definitely needs a guy like OG from toronto. Because Giannis,Tatum and Brown are always the types of guys he is asked to guard and philly doesnt have anyone capable of that right now.

zach lavine to the warriors with possibly another piece like jevon carter or drummond for cp3 and maybe mooses moody.
Markkannen on the sixers would be interesting

Tre Mann & Poku Protected 1st 2 Seconds for Lauri.
Ivey, Ausar, and a pick for Lauri Markennan
Caruso for Reaves

2:56 who? hell nah
Come on Presti, do your thing 😂
OG for the Kings probably is a realistic option. It would take being creative to make it happen. It could work though.
There is absolutely zero chance that the Kings give up Keegan Murray in a deal for OG or Pascal. It will not happen.
It would be Harrison Barnes, Davion Mitchell and picks and whatever might be needed to match salaries. Probably going after OG. If it happens.
Siakam on the warriors would be sick
I watch full ads on funky vids so ik he gets his adcents
Okc could give all kinds of hauls for lauri.
Personally id say Tre Mann, Micic, bertans, poku, kenrich williams and draft picks can all be pieces up for trades.

PJ Tucker to Bucks so he can play spot minutes as a defender makes so much sense to me. They have barely anyone to defend wings

I wish my lakers get a guy like capela …maybe a 3 team trade with toronto

8:02 What depth do the Warriors bench have? 😂 they need to make roster improvements.

The serious teams are the ones that make trades.

Og is like luel deng but just one level under
