That can't happen this deadline. Mavs can't trade a treasure trove of picks until the off-season.
They can't trade 25,27,29 1sts with 24,26,28 right-to-swaps?

I can only assume, if true, it’s Westbrook for Rozier/Hayward.
Lakers would flip the deck, Hornets dump 50 million in salary through 23-24 season. And Jordan likes Westbrook. We will see if I’m right in that.

Sure if they attach one of those first rounders. Charlotte isn't some free agent Hotspot. They won't clear cap just to pray someone magically wants to come to Charlotte.

Charlotte isn’t getting a first rounder for those two and their contracts. From any team.

We would undoubtedly get a protected first rounder for Rozier. Not going to just give up quality players for your trash for some overrated cap relief. Hilarious.

What’s the trade you’re thinking of? Something like DFS, Powell, 3 1sts, and a swap for KAT?
Christian wood is like KAT*0.75. They're much better off extending him and not giving away their assets for KAT.
i disagree on this line of thinking. That extra 25% is a huge difference in the playoffs.
That's before even getting into whether Wood is 75% of KAT. Quality > Quantity in the NBA

Good luck to Milwaukee on this one. There's no way in hell Jae is going to be happy coming off the bench for any team in the league.

I would expect the Raptors to put the sources of conflict on the trade market, but I would also expect potential trade partners to moderate any offers. No one needs bad apples that can sabotage a winning team.

I don't see dissension I see the East as a whole getting better while the Raptors, and the much praised GM Ujiri stands pat.
It's like you said they kept everybody and thought they could just maintain excellence when all that does is give the entire league the scouting report on your franchise going forward.

This is just what happens when you have a team with too many borderline stars. (But no true super star) everybody wants theirs. Nobody on our team has a bad attitude, or is a locker room problem. There’s just no consistency in how we play, because every night feels like it’s someone else’s turn to take 20+ shots. If we had a true alpha, or these guys were traded to play beside an alpha, they’d assume their proper roles.
Siakam as a second fiddle on a championship team.
FVV/OG as third fiddles

That is hilarious that you think Rozier can be exchanged for a 1st rounder. I can see it happening on NBA 2K but not in the actual NBA. Overvaluing your players is effective if you’re the actual GM, not a realGM.
IF Westbrook is traded to Charlotte for the obvious Hayward & Rozier, I don’t think any picks will be in there UNLESS MJ coughs it up for Hayward’s contract.

Marc Stein dropped his latest rumors (subscription required) on Feb. 2 where he noted that Wood would not return until “next week at the earliest” from his injury, and that the contract extension discussions between the two sides have not advanced past the “preliminary stages”.
The longer it goes without happening(an extension), the less likely it is. Mavericks have shown a willingness to discuss a 2-year deal. If Christian Wood wants to test the market, I don’t know that he’s going to get more money on the market this summer. I’ve talked to a lot of teams. I’ve yet to find one eager to sign up for the Christian Wood experience. … If we’re looking at Mavs rotations player most likely to be dealt before the deadline, it is Christian Wood. Having said that, finding value for him will be challenging. I was talking to an exec with another team and asked what the market is. He said “I think they can get what they gave up, they can get back. They can probably get a late first round pick if they’re willing to take salary into next season.” — Tim MacMahon

So Wood for Duncan + this year’s first round draft pick, heck we can make it unprotected

I’ve been following this league and reading trade rumors for almost 20 years now and still can’t remember if Amico or Amick is the more reputable one lol.

They could give up their 2025 pick and beyond, but I don't see why the Jazz would do it. Lauri is an all-star on a good contract and the Jazz already have a lot of future picks.
