Get mad, bro.

I’m one of the few questioning if he actually wants to ever move and have indicated I don’t think he’s cut from the Lebron cloth in related threads.

Did you know? The topic of this thread is:

Crazy trade that nobody sees coming?

yet you want to base ideas on probable likelihood?


Does crazy mean crazy stupid and biased? Your valuations are off and not remotely close.

1. Find the trade in this thread that’s not stupid. I’ll wait.

2. You seem like the emotionally biased one here. Is anyone who’s not a Bucks fan biased?

If he gave a short list of say OKC, Houston, SA…the TX teams likely win out being more willing to toss in young talent along with picks.

But guess what? That’s not a surprise, and not the point of the thread.

Nuggets should bet on Beal, he would be great there. Their defense will suck but not like MPJ gives them much there anyways.


It's beyond me why people even mention trades involving players who have an NTC (Beal & Lebron)


You don't think Beal would want to go play with Jokic?

You are correct.


Denver will trade Joker to Milwaukee for Dame and a future swap.

Dame was already past his prime, a defensive liability, massive negative contract, and now with an injury that’s been historically known as a career killer. For the best player in the game, that’s some nice hyperbole.

I’m talking 2 in their prime starters from a soon to be championship team. Title winning players always get overvalued by other teams, so the Bucks can be flip them for rebuilding pieces.

Dort by himself just got 3rd for DPOY, and has shot 40% from 3 the past two seasons at good volume. Though only one year on his deal so that does mute his value some, he’s still a highly desirable piece for a winner at his current salary.

Then the ability to toss in 7-8 firsts, and/or draft rights, especially if it were a draft night deal.

Still gonna laugh at all those getting serious about this in the context of a “surprise” thread that I’m quite sure was sparked by the Luka/AD trade.

Hadn’t thought if this but the two guys mentioned early itt might make some sense.

Memphis is just wild enough to take a chance on Embiid and he’d fit well with JJJ.

I guess some wild ones would be:

- LeBron and Bronny to Cleveland for Garland and J Allen

- Embiid to Houston for Sengun, Sheppard, and Whitmore

followed by

- Paul George to Denver for MPJ and Strawther

I think Trae Young will be moved. Philly will try to trade Embiid, but fail.

I think you are wrong most likely a second, not a first.
