Who wants AD/ Who wants Kyrie - is in-season trade possible?

[FarBeyondDriven]

they could both be moved easily given how many bad contracts there are around the league. I think they kinda half to at this point. They can't have their Big Three playing together and winning because then it'd make them look stupid for firing Nico

[Bornstellar]

AD on the Spurs would be scary and could work. AD as casted as a number 2 is the perfect role for him as he's one of the most elite number 2s.

Think he'd be a #3 at this point behind Vic and Fox and he would probably thrive in that role since he would only need to play good D and wouldn't need to score 25+ ppg every night. But he is just too damn injury prone to spend real assets on unfortunately

We're 8-2 with French Vanilla. No way are we picking up AD and his $60M (!) for maybe half a season of availability. It's redundant to consider it with Wemby here.

I hear ya. Though I don't really see Vic and AD as similar players. And while being 8-2 is obviously awesome, I am cautiously optimistic since most of those wins were against weak opponents. Just saying, a player of AD's calibre would make our team title contenders, not just a team with a chance to win a playoff round. But I am well aware that he is a china doll made of glass so any deal for him would have to be 50 cents on the dollar. I'm not in love with the idea, just spitballing

Agreed. I don't think the Spurs would go after AD at this point, things considered. The risks and rewards are too close.

Also don't think Dallas really does a deal with SA getting AD.

Like I said on the TnT board, I think Spurs are a good spot for AD, depending on the asking price. I feel like given his age/injury concerns/decline, his value should be at an all time low. Spurs can offer a good young player (Castle), matching salary (Vassell/Olynyk) and picks, they also own the Mavs 2030 unprotected swap that they can return. I am very skeptical of AD but I think he is a natural fit next to someone like Victor. They would be an insane defensive pairing

Kyrie is harder to gauge because we don't know how he's going to look returning from injury. Wolves desperately need an upgrade at PG, Houston could use him also but I believe they are hard capped.

That's more than what any other team would give up for AD.

I don't know about easily. AD is making 54m and then 58 and 62m the next 2 seasons. It's not easy to slot that into any roster knowing his lack of availability and with his age getting up there.

I think there are teams who would take both the new cap rules make the matching impossible

[TheGeneral99]

I would think the Warriors should try to go for AD given that they are trying to get Curry 1 last real shot at a ring.

They would have Kuminga, Moody and a few picks to dangle I would think.

I didn't mean they had to offer all of it, just that they have a good mix of assets they could offer

They're unable to match AD salary without giving up one of Curry/Butler/Green(I don't think it will be easy to match any salaries between those two to be honest, but I don't feel like checking right now).

Moving Curry is out of the question, moving Jimmy makes this lateral move at best and moving Green is basically a betrayal at this point in his career.

That's assuming Mavs would even be willing to take some kind of Green/Kuminga with Hield or Moody type of package.

Obviously they would need a 3rd team involved for salary purposes.

Does not change much - Warriors are not able to send out enough salary to absorb Davis contract without either giving up on Green/Butler or getting rid of pretty much their entire bench.

[Wolveswin]

Davis/Filler
FOR
Paul George/McCain/Clippers 1st (maybe another 1st)

Teams exchange 50+M contracts who are injury prone.

Irving to Rockets seems like a no brainer.

After these trades, or during of course, call Hornets, offer any player swap plus one of the Mavs owed 1sts for their own 2027 1st back.

Kyrie to Houston

AD to New York
