Exclusive NBA Trade Deadline Thread 2024

They’re going to agree to that $183m over 4yrs or whatever is is, Pacers don’t make the deal without assurances. Apparently Nembhard has the same agent, no way the agent strains any relationships with the Pacers by bait and switching.

 

Pacers can offer the most. I see it as a no brainer Siakam will stay with Pacers.

 

eh? It's 3 firsts one of which might be a lotto pick.

 

Well 1 lotto pick and 2 1sts in a bad draft is okay compensation, but not great. If I’m the Jazz, I don’t see any reason to take this deal, the players involved are salary dumps. This is even less than the Siakam deal.

I just think Brogdon, Thybulle, a 1st, and some 2nds just seems like too little to give up if you expect a player of Markkanen’s caliber. I feel like even a homer would admit this.

 

And, head-to-head, they seem to own the Bucks.

This is an intriguing team. I wouldn't want to see them in the playoffs. The way they can score can make opponents look stupid bad.

 

Growing conversation about Grant to the Mavs all over twitter.

 

For what?

 

Exactamundo.
They have nothing other than Lively. Holmes is ok but not worth shit. No way it happens

 

Holmes is just an expiring. Wouldn’t even call him an asset.

OMax + filler + a 1st does nothing for us. OMax + Green + filler only makes sense if Green is sent to a third team for a 1st.

 

Hoping the Kings get in on this. They have more intriguing pieces and their pick situation is better than the Mavs.

Some idiot on the Mavs reddit posted this in a new thread and titled it “Evan Mobley as a summer target, would you go for it?” Personally, how the hell would Mobley ever be available? But I also didn’t read one bit of the threat or this article. Anyone who’s bored should read it and see if there’s any validity to realistically being able to obtain Mobley is the summer.

If the Mavs think they have anything close to enough for Mobley, we have infinitely more assets to beat a Mavs offer.

Maxi, OMax, ‘25/‘27/‘31 + swaps in ‘26/‘28 was what OP suggested.

Personally, a combination of Ant, Grant, the dubs lotto pick, some 2nds sounds WAAAYYY more appealing. I read the title of that article and wondered how dudes like Maxi or OMax actually help the Cavs on that journey.

 

I hope the team gets rid of Ayton. Give him away for free. He's a bum.

 

The Knicks seem to be interested in Malcolm (as well as Rosier and Clarkson)
We have discussed Precious Achiuwa in the past, would he be worth dumping Brogdon? (With Fornier)
Can he even be traded with someone else or does he have to wait?

I am sure someone will say yes if the Knicks include a 1st, but let's just assume no picks are involved.

 

If no picks, then hell no

 

I vote hard no.

 

Give us Dereck Lively and it's done. Otherwise... fuck off. (Not because I'm really invested in Jerami, I just hate the Mavs.)

 

The Mavs are indeed a good team to hate. Could also try to fleece them for as much as possible. How many picks they got?

 

There was some Deandre to Dallas noise last summer, fwiw.
