You want to give up the 2 worse players for 2 better ones? And you think Miami would say yes?

No one wants Kuminga.

Hey he’s got some people fooled that watch him daily. We know the kings kind of want him even though they were unwilling to trade their 4th string sg for him.

Miami wanted Kuminga and they might take a gamble since Powell is 33. If they are also interested in Podz then there you have a deal

Can we trade JK and Podz for Jaren Jackson Jr?

Hield+Podz+pick(s) for Coby White on his expiring. Upgrade the minutes when Curry is off the floor. Relieve Steph from some of the heavy lifting.

This all depends on if the Bulls want to sign Coby to a large contract after this season. Picks and a rookie scale contract might be the play for them.

That trade would have to be tweaked a bit. The Bulls are hard-capped at the 1st Apron, so they can't take back more than they send out, which they are doing in this trade. For the Warriors, you have to be careful of the 2nd Apron hard-cap, since White has a $1.33M unlikely incentive, which counts toward the Apron.

I take the Brow. He might be injured a lot, but he brings everything that Dubs don't have.

marthafokker · Post #4270 » by **marthafokker** » Yesterday 1:23 am

You know what? I would take DeRozen for JK and GP2. DeRozen is a much needed scorer off the bench. A lot consistent too. And can get a lot of FT too to slow down the game even more, for team AARP. Plus way better ball handler than JK.

Fixes some problems. And no more JK drama. Don't kill Dubs future plans 2 years from now. Management needs to stop the Gannis wet dreams.

Klay's apparently on the trade block. He should just retire. He's destroying his legacy. Dude has a FG% of .316 and is shooting .264 from beyond the arc.

Miami scouts and FO have eyes. They see Kuminga and Podz are playing like ass. Miami will trade you 2 of its best players... for what reason?

Mavs may have a fire sale, try to get another high lotto pick this year because apparently they don't have any picks until 2030 after the 2026 draft.

Obviously AD is the main one that you would look to get but PJ and Naji would be interesting. Assuming Cooper and Lively are untradeable.

PJ absolutely kills the Thunder which would be great for that matchup.

Bill Simmons noted that if Dallas was going to move their big contracts, a last dance type of team like the Warriors would make sense.

He said Butler and AD's contracts could be directly traded for each other.

Tbh I’m not sure I would trade Jimmy for ad. We have such a desperate need for shot creation that we could struggle on the non Steph minutes again.

I’d probably rather start with a dray + jk salary for ad.

AD is younger and a rim protector. They both have struggled to play more than 60 games in recent seasons.

In his last couple of seasons with the Lakers, AD was a bucket getter, had some big stretches of putting up 30-45 points.

Now in their careers, Jimmy has taken his team to the Finals. AD by himself, never really took the Pelicans anywhere. Of course he won the Bubble title, played a key role, probably the best he's played.

I'm a big AD guy, but even i stay away from him now. He is huge in that Oliver Miller type of way now. You won't recognize him. He must be enjoying that Texas BBQ.

Yea since this is our last year of contending for anything ad isn’t going to be ready to play this year. He’s huge right now.

I said it since last year when they traded away wiggins, the priority has to be to get another wiggins. I think kerr was banking on jk being that guy.

Steph, jimmy, and dray, are too expensive to go out and pursue another max guy. Imo, give me a steph, moody, wiggins, jimmy, and dray starting 5 in a playoff series this year? I like my chances vs anyone.
