How many trades have we seen now 4?

Kyrie
Lakers 3 team
Hart to Knicks
I guess the Kesler Edwards trade if you want to count it

Majority of action will be tomorrow like always.

Nets can probably get another 3 first round picks for Bridges if they went that route. Man is Mikal needed here

KD finally gets his wish to play next to BIZ. Now or never, CP3.

More like, "what are the franchise left that don't want to send crap for all players ?"

In the West, it's wilder. Some Gm's willl get crazy because of Durant landing in Sun's roster. Sun's might try to land Oubre who is probably easier to move there now (knowing Warren is not really a safe bet, health wise).

Hard to guess what the Nets will try to do now. I sure hope Kupchak could grab Claxton for cheap. But maybe they will make Simmons available (in case he was not already), and in such case it will probably slow down trades (cf OG and raptor's comedy).

GSW will have to do something for many reasons

There's a lot less suitors for Rozier and to a lesser extent Hayward now due to the Kyrie, DLo and Durant trades.

That's not good for us. As Bravor said though I'm sure Phoenix and Dallas might look to Plumlee and Oubre to shore up some of the depth they traded away for Kyrie and Durant respectively.

Kupchak should be fired immediately. There’s no way he couldn’t have got something of value.

Nets could be interestedin Rozier now. they probably won't try to do a full rebuild (esp with Bridges/Cam + simmons as of now) but they need scoring at guard spot.

The only interesting - talking about realistic/cheap - part would be Claxton though (+ Harris maybe, Hornets can swallow such a bad contract).

And yes, Oubre to the suns makes sense. Counterpart could be Saric but he restored value (he could be sent to a third team, like Dallas btw, they could use him).

On the paper Plum+rozier for Harris/Claxton would work (with some compensation but from who lol..)

We still have time to win 25 in a row and get back into the play-in race


I could honestly see them actually thinking this. Like I really think that they believe they have assembled an actual contender.

With KD out of the East, the time is now to push hard for the playoffs.

Oubre could make sense for the Suns and GS. The Suns need depth and GS has to do something or else they aren't making the playoffs.

Plumlee, now that Poeltl is off the board, may be the best rental C available. Whoever else was bidding for Poeltl could want Plumlee.

Rozier is more difficult. The Wolves don't need him. Dallas doesn't need him. Lakers don't need him. So...who else needs a scoring guard?

Gordon is still untradeable. So I don't think yesterday affects him at all.

Jalen/PJ to the Suns could make sense. But for what? Dallas too.
