2024 Trade Deadline Prediction Thread
Just a little annual tradition I enjoy...all are welcome to participate
Some of these are subjective, but have fun with it anyway. You can see how you did afterward, but I won't be keeping score and you win literally nothing
1) How many trades will there be between Wednesday, January 31 (this writing) and Thursday, February 8 (the deadline)?
2) How many players (draft rights included) will be traded?
3) How many 1st round draft picks will be traded? Of these, how many will be 2024 1st rounders?
4) Who will be the biggest name traded?
5) Who will be the most *surprising* name traded?
6) One trade that I predict *will* happen is ________________. (Be specific! Who, to where, for whom?)
7) Realistically, I would like my team (name them!) to __________________.
8) Instead, I expect my team to _______________.
9) Which team(s) will be involved in the most trades?
Enjoy the deadline, all!!

Re: 2024 Trade Deadline Prediction Thread
Okay, thanks for your patience all, here's a recap:
This was after the Rozier/Lowry trade, but before the Oladipo/Adams trade. From the latter through the end of the deadline, there were 19 trades.
Including draft rights, 50 players were traded!
This got complicated lol. One pick was traded twice (from OKC to Dallas, then from Dallas to Washington), one other pick was traded (from Dallas FOR Washington!), and then there were two swaps, which might be two picks each or zero! So if you said two, three or seven, give yourself a point
Of these, that first pick was 2024 and traded twice, so give yourself a point for one or two depending how you want to count.
I mean I guess it was Gordon Hayward. Going to imagine no one picked him for this answer, lol.
I don't think there were any real stunners. Maybe Steven Adams? No real wrong answer here.
How did you do?
4 trades each: Detroit, Philadelphia
3 trades each: Boston, Dallas, Memphis, OKC
2 trades each: Brooklyn, Charlotte, Indiana, Milwaukee, Toronto, Utah
1 trade each: Golden State, Minnesota, New York, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, San Antonio, Washington
0 trades each: Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Houston, LA Clippers, LA Lakers, Miami, New Orleans, Orlando
Thanks to all those who played We'll do this again next year!
