Lotto pick going the wrong way. Keep your broken center.

Joel Embiid to Spurs for fillers and #2 pick. Wemby continues to play with another big and they can absorb Embiid’s contract while their top guys are most under rookie contracts.

If you're blowing up the roster there's no reason to keep PG.

Nuggets should bet on Beal, he would be great there. Their defense will suck but not like MPJ gives them much there anyways.

It's beyond me why people even mention trades involving players who have an NTC (Beal & Lebron)

I don't think any team is willing to trade for Embiid and his horrible knees and gigantic contact unless Philly adds pick 3 to the deal.

It's not going to materialise at any rate.

Reckon Lamelo gets traded this off season possibly to the Lakers involving a deal with Knecht and Reaves with pick swaps and swinging both ways.

I think it would be foolish on the Lakers behalf but it's exactly the type of deal Pelinka would do

What else are the Sixers giving in this?

5% ownership stake?

OKC wins the title, and then says **** dat cash!

Trades Hartenstein, Dort, Kenrich, picks* for Giannis.

[* Edit for the reactionaries: The should be obvious idea here is that OKC unloads a huge amount of their massive pick war chest here]

Rolls out:
SGA
Cason
Jalen
Chet
Giannis

Still have a bench of Caruso, Joe, Wiggins, Jaylin, Ajay…maybe finally makes room for Dieng. Get a ring chasing 5. Start to develop Topic.

Given contracts eventually owed to Chet and JDub, while it’s possible assets wise, it would be really surprising for them to commit that much cash.

Lmao @ this trade

I think I’d rather trade Dame + a future pick for SGA bro, just as fair

I counter these brilliant offers with Robert Williams for Jokic and future cash considerations

1. While I didn’t feel like looking them up and being specific, everyone knows OKC has a ton of picks, so it would obviously include a massive haul.

2. I still have real doubts Giannis and the Bucks actually want to move him, but if they ever do, I’m sure he’ll have feedback on destination given his accomplishments and loyalty to the franchise. It’s unlikely to be a pure highest bidder situation, and one would imagine a chance to create a real dynasty must have some level of appeal.

Beal had an NTC on the Wizards and was traded...

James Harden is going somewhere - I'll predict Denver or Houston.

Yea I think a non-trade demand Embiid move is coming, especially if Giannis decides to stay in Milwaukee. I don't know who, but I could see whoever loses the Durant sweepstakes making a move (Miami, Houston, Minnesota).

Wiggins/Rozier/Ware/Anderson/#20 for Embiid/Oubre/Gordon

Sengun/Brooks/#10 or future pick for Embiid

Gobert/Randle/#17 for Embiid/Oubre

Mavs trade Flagg for win-now defense…

Mavs get Brown/White/Pritchard/Celtics Future 1sts

Nets get Thompson/Martin/#28

Celtics get Flagg/Irving/Washington

Celtics trade other vets now and at deadline while tanking for 2026 top 3 pick. Tatum returns next season to a team with cap flexibility and two young stud sidekicks.

Those picks are all mediocre. Giannis is not available and he especially is not available for their spare parts. Giannis is not going to be the first person in human history to demand a trade to Oklahoma City.

Bucks are keeping Giannis and they’d get a **** ton more than that if he was available

Get mad, bro.

I’m one of the few questioning if he actually wants to ever move and have indicated I don’t think he’s cut from the Lebron cloth in related threads.

Did you know? The topic of this thread is:

“Crazy trade that nobody sees coming?”

yet you want to base ideas on probable likelihood?
