Rumors, Random Thoughts, etc Version 20/20 We all got everything right...

Chicago
Out: Vuc, 2026 FRP (POR, top-14 x3)
In: Kuminga
Rumored interest. Mediocre offer for a mediocre player. (Bulls can be cut out if, for some strange reason, Bucks prefer Kuminga.)

Detroit:
Out: T. Harris, 2026 FRP DET
In: Green
Makes sense given the embrace of the Bad Boys culture. Gain a secondary playmaker.

Golden State:
Out: Green, Kuminga, Moody, Podz, 2028 FRP GSW, 2030 FRP GSW (if 1-20 or 2031 unprotected)
In: Antetokounmpo x3, G. Harris, Anthony
Last push in Curry era.

Milwaukee
Out: Antetokounmpo x3, G. Harris, Anthony
In: T. Harris, Vuc, Moody, Podz, 4 FRPs
Two (likely) post-Curry GSW FRPs plus two additionally, two good young players, and two serviceable veterans with $58MM in expiring contracts.

That's very low value for Giannis, they need a great piece coming back, they get nothing here.
Green is better than Harris, but Pistons can't afford a non spacing PF when their center and wing defender both can't shoot.

It’s always tough to predict, it all depends how desperate teams are to trade for him. If everyone is conservative then Milwaukee are in a tough place, take the cheap offer or live with a disgruntled Giannis.

Dallas want green back?

Sure, can I interest you in a smiley and shiny Jaden Hardy and allstar and podcaster D'Lo Russel?

Are they expiring? That would be enough for me.
DLo would enjoy playing Balls role while he is injured.

Not saying it will be good, the team is clearly tanking, so it works

No, both are on 2 years deal like Green, Mavs don't have expiring deals.
I think he can fetch an expiring if CHO is willing to take more money.

I'm eating crow on my Stephon Castle projection, I though he's another Dyson Daniels, he seems to be figuring it out on offense.
Hard to quantify coaching effect, but Spurs are defending great and Mavs defended great, and they share the same defensive coach.

Something around FVV, Sheppard, Eason for Mitchell.

And PHX 1sts it would still be a maybe

No need for Cavs to panic yet

Ajay Mitchell, Davion Mitchell, or Mitchell Robinson?

Who could be the big wing the Spurs need to compete for a championship this year? Sochan/Olynyc + removing the Mavs' draft commitment for PJ Washington?

PJ can't be traded this year after signing that extension.

But a player of that ilk, does seem to be something they lack.

Ajay Mitchell, Davion Mitchell, or Mitchell Robinson?

Just wanted to give some credit to Davion Mitchell, who has turned into a decent PG who is good enough that you don't mind him as a 5th starter, and absolutely love him as a backup.

Davion is at 7.8 assists with only 1.5 turnovers this year, and he is one of the best POA defenders in the league -- all for only 2yrs/$24M

But I wouldn't trade Sheppard for him if I were Houston!

In the same way you used to bet on Kentucky/Callipari guards in the draft, I think at this point you can also bet on Sacramento Kings' drafted guards panning out once they've been traded.
