NBA 2025-26

Washington was where he said he wanted to go for some reason, and let’s be real, you’re not getting equal value for Trae Young from the fuckin Wizards
 
Ja Morant is finally on the trade block. Not sure who is going to want to take the risk on him or who has the cap space or assets.
 
Sounds like there’s a little more interest in him than Trae but as usual some of these fanmade trade scenarios are pretty lol-worthy. Nico got people brainwashed

They should really be investigated by the league if this is true, basically admitting that they’re sitting their best player out in order to tank. But of course Adam Silver doesn’t have the balls

The funny thing to me about this is I don't think that Trae Young would get them to a place where they could lose their Top 8 protected pick to the Knicks. The underrated part of having Trae Young (who I would NOT want on my team), is that he will make all of your guys better. The Wizards have 10 players under 23. If you are trading adults in the room, at least have the other ones play.

I don't think Silver will do anything about it or he isn't too worried about it if he's going to sign a long term deal with the Wizards.
 
I would rather have Trae on my team than Ja personally. I get the criticisms but I was really surprised that he had virtually no interest around the league.
 
I agree with you. These guys coming off of their first big extension of their rookie deals are going to be pretty fascinating.

I kind of hate the "I wouldn't pay Player X more than the MLE", people about some of these caliber players, but with the restrictions of the new CBA I think you really have to think about Trae as a 30-35 million guy where he probably thinks and the old way he'd be a 50-55 million dollar player.
 
Trae>Ja for me, too. I could probably name 80 guys I'd rather have than Ja. He has been a big disappointment since his breakout season.

I know Draymond is a troll and always says stupid shit, but this might be an extremely dumb statement for even him. Listen, I loved that MVP season and who know's where the Bulls would've went with a healthy Derrick Rose leading them. But, I doubt they would win 6 championships with him as the best player. He would of had to really improve his shooting and defense to be anywhere close to Michael. Again, maybe he would've but it just seems stupid to even compare the two.

Dammit, Draymond I've put too much thought into this bullshit.

Also, this is the first year since George W Bush was in office that I haven't watched a second of Bulls basketball. They have almost the same identical record as the last three or four seasons. It's maddening that there are Bulls fans that are fine with this because Giddey and Matas are gonna lead them to the promise land or some copium.
 
I can’t see them beating the Heatles even if the injury doesn’t happen. They may have a better shot against LeBron when he goes back to Cleveland but I don’t really see them beating the Warriors either if they somehow get by. Although Draymond vs Noah mind games sounds intriguing
 
Do you guys think that’s a first move for the Cavs with a potential Garland deal on the horizon, or at least listening to offers?
 
I haven't seen any legit scenarios for such a thing, but I am seeing people who this this move makes him expendable, which I think is kinda crazy. I think the Cavs still think they can go far, and trading Garland because you have Dennis Schroeder seems counter-productive to that. From my interpretation Shams seemed to think the move was largely to dump Hunter's salary
 
I know no one cares about the All-Star game any more but reserves were announced tonight.

Kawhi kinda got a raw deal IMO but that was likely the Clippers having it stuck to them for the Chris Paul ordeal. Really surprised to see Siakam on there as well with the Pacers being at the bottom of the league.

If I read correctly I think they also got about a 7 million dollar TPE, but I’m not really sure who they would get for that.
 
Im just surprised the Bulls jumped in on a trade as a third party and scored some draft picks. I don't think Arturas has done that once in the six years he's been GM.

Feels like they saw the Kings were involved so they had to jump in!
 
This Harden for Garland rumor is insane. First why would Harden want to leave a team that has won like 16 of their last 20 games? Why would the Cavs want a guy who is notorious for choking in the playoffs and demanding trades? Garland might not have the same production numbers as Harden but he also isn't going to turn the ball over 8 times or shoot them out of the game like him either.
 
Just in: Chicago, Minnesota and Detroit have agreed to a multi-team deal that sends Jaden Ivey and Mike Conley Jr. to the Bulls and Kevin Huerter and Dario Saric to the Pistons, sources tell ESPN. Detroit also receives a 2026 first-round protected swap from Minnesota.

[Charania] BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading star forward Jaren Jackson Jr., John Konchar, Jock Landale and Vince Williams Jr. to the Utah Jazz for Walter Clayton Jr., Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks, Georges Niang and three future first-round picks, sources tell ESPN.
