Around The NBA : 2023-24 Season #3

He actually doesn't in Zachs case, it would be a bit more complicated but it's definitely doable without Wiggins.

How would they be able to keep Wiggins and still trade for zach?

Looney, Payton, Hield, Anderson and Schröder is more than enough salary wise to trade for Zach, it would likely beva multi-team trades with minimum salaries heading back to GS, but it's definitely doable, there's been reports about it.

Hmm fair enough. A third team would definitely have to come in and absorb contracts because we dont have the roster space to accept more players than we send out.

Is this real?

This is the first time, maybe ever, that I saw a trade and was in complete shock and disbelief. There's no way, I said over and over. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I feel like this is one of the craziest trades ever.

You’re not alone. Maybe this is prisoner of the moment thing, but I can’t remember a crazier, more shocking trade. I was at the mountain with my family and had to leave in a hurry after initial reaction. Back and I’m beside myself.

Mavs couldn’t have shopped around?

As someone else said…you couldn’t at least get Dalton flipping Knecht??!!?!?! (but not really).

What in the actual #%^*!?!?

Leaving the house again now for a movie …getting out is the only thing that will put my disbelief and shock on pause again.

Mavs being spanked.... Damn...

[Repeat 3-peat]

Looks like Fox is close to being traded.

Warriors Exploring Trade For Kevin Durant

Ok, that may my day

[Dan Z]

Reports are that Butler said no to being traded to Memphis and GS. Is he telling the Heat that he'll only go to the Suns?

[Dan Z]

This is odd:

Blazers with another win.

They win another few in a row and we may be talking about that POR 1st.

It's crazy they've gone on this tear.

I never thought that PDX pick would convey, they keep this up we could get it this year or next.

[kodo]

And Portland is now better than us for draft odds with that win. We're 8th now, and could be 7th if Philly ever gets it together.

What are you guys smoking? They are 4.5 games back of the tenth seed and would also have to overtake the Warriors, Suns and Spurs to get there, and then have to win two road games to make the playoffs.

Not happening. This bodes well for the next few seasons though obviously.

The Suns that they just beat twice in a row? The Warriors aren't exactly good either. The Blazers have won 8 of their last 9 games.

I'm not expecting it to convey this year, but next year isn't out of the realm of possibility.

That's what I'm "smoking" buster!

Is it just me or I'm alone in thinking that Kings might not even make it to play in,if Phoenix and GSW make few solid trades?? I really feel sorry for Zach..

They are playing better than all of those teams and who says they can’t skip ahead of them and win at home? They will slow down but if they get a 8 game winning streak they could do it.

I’d be surprised if they do make the play in.

[Chi town]

Suns or Dubs could also have an injury with their aging vets that miss time.

[Chi town]

We are in trouble if Sixers trade PG and Embiid stays out.

I can see Morey tanking.

PHX has KD & Booker and GS has Curry so that shouldn't be surprising, but at the same time I can see SAC keeping their play-in spot because those teams have some severe big man problems and Sabonis is leagues ahead of either team at the center position.

I don't see what Phoenix can do with Beal refusing to leave. Ayton to Nurk was a big downgrade (and they just lost to Ayton), Nurk to Charlotte's backup center was another downgrade.

GS should have gotten Lavine, they should get Vuc. If they do nothing, I think they stay 11th or even fall behind San Antonio now. The light-years-ahead FO has done a whole lot of nothing since trading Klay for two 2nd rounders.

[WesPeace]

Dallas traded Grimes and 2nd rounder for Caleb Martin.. another odd trade, at this stage Grimes is maybe even better player
