Trade Deadline Thread 2/6/25

Zion, LaMelo, Gianni’s, kd, lebron what other top 50 player have I missed. lol the tweets are so desperate on the warriors side today lmfao

[NW]

Poole: probably doesn't want to play here because of Draymond
Butler: probably doesn't want to play here because of Draymond
KD: probably doesn't want to play here because of Draymond
LeBron: probably doesn't want to play here because of Draymond

Noticing a trend?

You put probably in front of your opinions to add weight to them?

Well, no one knows what's inside the head of anyone for sure, it's speculation to various degrees but I don't think it's far off. Poole is self-explanatory. Butler hasn't said anything specifically about Draymond, but they're both pretty hard-headed alpha-type players who are known for clashes, so it's not difficult to see something setting it off. KD has had bad blood publicly with Draymond in the past and it's much speculated that he left in part because he was sick of Draymond's crap. LeBron is similar to Butler, nothing known, but 2 very strong personalities. Oh, also Draymond kicked him in the balls in the Finals, so there's that. So yeah...probably

And that's not even including the positional and offensive output issues that come with Draymond.

So all but Poole basically huge reaches on your part?

Draymond and LeBron’s friendship and history is documented
Draymond and KD have seemed cool, done podcasts together and the like since KD left.
And no bad history with Draymond and Butler

Need Dunleavy (or maybe Lacob?) not to cave to the national media / casual sport talk radio fanbase and try and save face with a Vucevic trade.

Personally, I'd still love a smaller trade for a 3/D like NAW, Keon Ellis, Nesmith, Phillips etc. even if the reaction would be the typical dumb response of "teams getting all stars and we get another perimeter player I've never heard of!!!"

[TB]

How about this now that Bulls have Vuc/Jalen Smith/Collins all as stretch centers... and likely stuck with the larger contracts of Vuc/Collins next year...

GP2, Trayce for Smith, Phillips

Bulls cut some costs with GP2 expiring while getting a cheaper center in the rotation that brings something different than Vuc/Collins. We get a stretch center in the rotation and a flyer on a perimeter 3/D in Phillips.

I have to believe they are trying to trade Moses. He played extended minutes all of January. I don’t think Kerr actually likes him better than Buddy or Lindy, so I think it has been to raise his value.

Curious to see if everyone who is healthy is in uniform for tonights game.

Kuminga's the only one out, Draymond and Hield (illness) probable.

[Chupchup]

Small move but if we can get Lonzo I think he'll be a bigger guard that can defend and pass.

Draymond is probable?

Showcasing.Lol!

If Lakers trade for a stretch big (Vucic are another like Myles Turner) before the Warriors nab them, it's a clear sign that Dunleavy just doesn't have it. If I'm Lacob and Dunleavy comes up empty, I seriously consider firing him.

According to Dubbs fans... Vuc sucks ball. So it should be a win for Dubbs by Lakers getting him?

because (many) dubs fans don't put players into context. one thing is to be a stretch big playing in CHI with the likes of ball, etc., another one is to play next to a player like steph or doncic. context matters. ofc at the right price.

I wouldnt be surprised if the team minus steph, dray, podz and jk have mentally checked out due to not knowing if they will last the week as a warrior.

Lakers were reported as out on vuc, they have no defense. Warriors are the only suitor left for vuc. Only question there is if they give up wiggins and the amount of picks.

[TB]

Trying to see what type of Vuc deal I could stomach the most.... I've established I want no part of him on this team, but I'm worried he is the guy we are going to end up with so trying to talk myself into it..

I still think Vuc doesn't get them any picks. I think they want him gone from the books more than anything... so IF we are going to get Vuc, I really don't think it would take much more than:

GP2 expiring
Dennis expiring

for:

Vuc
Phillips (I refuse to do business with Bulls without getting Phillips or Terry)

Then try and swap Trayce for a defensive guard. I've mentioned the NAW idea a million times. Or Andre Jackson Jr maybe? Bucks have Lopez leading them in minutes, so they may like a young center for depth.

Wiggins and picks? What have you been smoking my good man?

Vuc can net salary filler and 2nds at best.

Here's the KD trade:

Draymond, Kuminga, Buddy, & GP2.

The only way KD plays here is if Draymond is gone.

Makes perfect sense.

It's funny that Jimmy's agent thinks where he wants to commit to matters. This is probably the last team he'll ever play for, he's trying to squeeze leverage out of a situation that he really doesn't have any.

And now we are also talking Paul george again.

We didn't get him in the offseason by using cp3 and kuminga, now watch us overpay.
