Kuminga would interest me in a Bobby plus pick deal.

He is still only 22. And we all know the Jermaine O’Neal rule. 8-)

Nurkic is really really bad.

Nick or Joe?

Kuminga and Giannis together would be fun. He is the exact type of player we need in this team.

There's not much difference, neither can defend, both rebound. Nurkic has twice the salary but should come with picks. How many makes him worth it? That's tough.

Hopefully we end up with neither.

Call me old fashioned (new fashioned?) but I don’t see the harm in posting silly rumor mongering Twitter bs.

I would not want to be the team who pays Kuminga's next contract. I liked him in year 1 and 2 but he's plateaued and didn't take the leap I was hoping for.

Cuz misinformation is good.

Kumminga hasn't shown any growth this year, which is really disappointing. He seems to be a low BBIQ guy.

He was just starting to turn it around before he got injured again. But, he’s always getting injured which isn’t great.

Less than 48 hours out now.

We could get Jimmy
We could get KD
We could get Kuzma

They aren't rumors. They're being reported as fact by fake "insiders" looking for clicks. . We're on the cusp of the deadline with the Bucks in the middle of it. Clogging the thread with fake bs is derailing. So let's move on.

What about something with the Hawks…playing with scenarios:

Bucks trade: Khris, Bobby, Pat, MarJon, draft assets
Bucks receive: Deandre Hunter, Bogdan, Nance

Hawks trade: Hunter, Bogdan, Nance
Hawks receive: Khris, Bobby, Pat, Bucks draft assets of some kind

Pistons or whoever with trade exception: nada
Pistons or whoever receive: MarJon

Came to mind from this via Scotto:

The Hawks have explored the trade market on veterans Clint Capela and Bogdan Bogdanovic, as previously reported by HoopsHype. Hawks forward De’Andre Hunter has also drawn trade interest from the Cleveland Cavaliers, league sources told HoopsHype.

In talks between the Hawks and Pelicans, league sources told HoopsHype the Pelicans would be reluctant to take back future salary, including Bogdanovic, who’s owed $16 million for the 2025-26 season and has a team option worth $16 million for the 2026-27 season.

I like Bogdan

How do we acquire Kuminga and Frankenstein Khris's brain and muscle memory into him? Horst needs to be exhausting all avenues.

Every deal has risk. Only the Lakers are given sure fire acquisitions

Where’d this come from, haven’t caught it yet beyond the board?

That Hawks idea is intriguing because you get a starting SG, starting SF, and backup big who gives you an alternative when Brook is getting smoked by five out teams.

Then you’ve got AJJ, AJG, Trent, Prince, and Nance on the bench.

If you squint, you can maybe talk yourself into Bogdan and AJG being guys you could run plays for the create offense that isn’t entirely based on Dame and Giannis gravity. Hunter has all the tools to be a perfect 3&D wing if it ever all clicks for him.

How bad is Bogdan’s defense?

Probably is but maybe just maybe we buck fans vastly overated midds trade value and maybe just maybe his trade value is only worth a kuzma....hope not but with all his injuries and that player opt in
