Lillard for Jamal Murray/Nnaji? Who says no? Lillard is a great fit for Jokic since he's an excellent shooter. His contract is also much shorter, giving Denver flexibility (making room for Luka?). Murray is much younger and has a wider competitive window, which could make it more attractive for Giannis to stay.

I was just coming in to post Dame/Kuz for Murray/MPJr.

I think there’s merit to the PG swap; but all depends on which Murray is the real one, for lack of a better phrase.

Lillard/Kuz for RJ/IQ/Poeltl?

Or... a 3-team swap where Toronto forwards Lillard to Denver for Murray and Nnaji?

What happens with Grimes? Philly is so interesting, they have three guards who have had some awesome offensive stretches this year in Maxey/Grimes/McCain.

We have to keep him. A 3 guard rotation of Maxey, Grimes and McCain is pretty great. Unfortunately he’s going to cost a lot.

It was $15m/yr a couple weeks ago. Probably $20m/yr now. Could go higher.

Raps need a backup C to Yak. They are not trading him only to he left with no C.

GSW does a sign and trade of Kuminga to Philadelphia for Paul George.



Can Philly do this and stay under the apron that comes with a sign and trade?

Philly giving Kuminga 40 million a year?

Shouldn't the WARRIORS do that...

send Kuminga to the Bulls?
Chicago's expiring contract (Collins or Huerter + Carter) + FRP from the BLAZERS + 2/3 SRP from the WARRIORS to the NETS.

Cam Johnson to the WARRIORS.

Then we continue with Hield + TJD to the Magic for WCJ...

Curry/Butler/Cam/Green/WCJ
Podz/Moody/Payton?/Santos/Post

That seems foolish based off a hot scoring streak for the G-League Sixers.

Also, unless the Nets are in on him, there isn't really competition for his services at the price.

Giddey for Kuminga swap?

[Astaluego]

Giddey for Kuminga swap?

Giddey should be a cornerstone of the next Bulls, and in my opinion, the Warriors need size and shooting. They'll be fine creating plays with Curry/Draymond/Butler/Podz.

[jayjaysee]

Giddey for Kuminga swap?

Think GSW is better off keeping the flexibility to have a deep roster with Kuminga than a hard capped one with Giddey.

Technically, possible though if you send out Moody and Buddy and just fill the bench with vet mins.

[giberish]

Giddey for Kuminga swap?

Pretty sure BYC rules make that impossible unless they're both signing pretty cheap (MLEish or so).

There's a large number of famous, clearly past their prime, expensive and still good enough to matter but with questions as to exactly how good they are in the league at the moment.

LeBron/Curry/KD/Butler/Kawhi/Harden (perhaps Lillard and Holiday as well) in that group. It will be interesting to see how effective that group is in the playoffs. That could really affect some trade values. Granted many aren't going anywhere but some could be. Especially for KD, I think his trade market will be strongly affected by how the other guys in that group perform in the playoffs. Do they look to be major difference makers that teams could justify giving up a lot for? or not really worth the depth loss that comes with huge contracts?

There's already Paul George as a warning about going too far in terms of contracts for some players in that group.

Who would value McBride this summer and have a 3/4 or Center to move for him? If we brought back Payne/Kolek and Shamet/Wright, our backcourt depth should still be solid even without Deuce.

Would obviously rather sign someone like LaRavia or Tate with the taxpayer MLE, bring back Shamet, and roll with McBride - Shamet - Laravia/Tate - Achiuwa - Robinson off the bench; plus Kolek - Dadiet - Hukporti in case of injuries.

I like him and I think he'd get a lot of playing time with the Mavs, but the salary gap is getting tough... I don't think you're interested in O-Max, and the Mavs don't have enough SRP to close the gap... Caleb Martin makes too much... I also like something between McBride and Daron Holmes in Denver?

Detroit as a potential Lillard destination? Seems like more shooting and another playmaker would help their cause
