KD Trade Might Expand Involving 7 Teams

[WolfAddict]

So is this completely false?

No, just beefed up to be more than it is I think

[SlimShady83]

I love the offseason.

This is fun as.

The state of media literacy makes me really sad.

I mean I agree but how would we know if Jake's middle name is L or I?

Jake Idiot Fisher

Last time I remember hearing record breaking mega deal, we got that crazy trade like 20 years ago where the Heat got their entire championship team supporting cast in one trade. Would be interesting to see something like that again.

[JimmyPlopper]

I never thought that the KD trade would have one more team than Antonio Alfonseca has fingers on each hand

[Lalouie]

as long as ayton goes somewhere else

[Rainwater]

So is this completely false?

Not false, just over hyped.

Read on Twitter

Lakers, Hawks, Wolves, Nets, & Warriors other 5 teams

Crazy as that sounds its actually pretty mundane.

All of the other pieces of significance would be already agreed upon deals.

Yeah minor side deals get added from time to time

[BruttoNostra]

So is this completely false?

The tweet about

Some of the players being discussed are absolutely shocking…

is fake (I mean, from a fake account).

Will it be 7-teams trade?
Why not? It happens every summer (and even trade deadline), when 2-3 separate trades might be combined into a bigger one, when one or more participants might get a batter output (while other teams don't care/get some minor payment like cash or SRP swap in 2074).

In example,
Trade 1:
Team A wants to shed some salary, they send a $15M player to Team B for a $10M and $3M players.
Team A is ready now to pay a SRP for someone to eat up that $3M contract, so they really shed a $5M salary.

Trade 2:
Team C sends a $20M player to Team D for a $18M player.

All teams are above the cap. No team can take on that $3M player without sending anything back.
But if you make it a one big trade and send that $3M player directly to Team C instead of Team A - then Team C will end up with $20M player out and $18M + $3M players in, including a SRP - which is allowed by the CBA - without combining the trades it wouldn't be possible (as Team C are over the cap).

You take the time to check whenever something earthshaking comes along.

Look at the other posts from that account- do they match things that have actually happened? Check around the rest of the internet- is there buzz surrounding this? What is the origin of that buzz? Search for Jake Fischer on google. Is this the account that actually comes up?

Verify something before spreading it to other people. It's not that hard.

It's possible to work this out. People just don't try before they react.

Did Booker sign his extension offer?

For that matter, did Durant? There might be a Butler situation developing.

[They_Them_Hatin]

So is this completely false?

It’s basically all the sign and trades and draft day trades together. A loser reporter with a big nothing burger. Suns are stuck with no PG or forwards outs of Dunn.

Social media sucks.

Again generally all good advice, but I don't think this meets the criteria of information for me to take the time and find Jake Fischer's middle name. Also I don't even have Twitter and can't see Fake Fischer's other outlandish tweets. Maybe Fischer should stop using a disinformation platform that makes it basically impossible to verify that he's the real one?

You keep harping on the middle name thing despite the fact that I mention several ways you could have determined it was fake without knowing that.

I don't have twitter either. You could have simply googled "Jake Fischer NBA". In fact do that. Now. His main account shows up. And it's not the one with the I. The other advice I gave (other than looking at the other posts on the account) can also be done without having twitter.

Yes- we absolutely live in an environment that allows misinformation to thrive. And that sucks. But everyone still has a responsibility for their own media literacy. You can't just shrug and say "well, how was I supposed to know". That's what most people do, and it contributes to the problem. If you care about believing true things you need to take the time to ferret these things out.

It's interesting that you say "I mean I agree" initially, yet I don't think you do agree with what I originally posted tbh.

It’s not media illiteracy if you simply don’t care enough to take the extra steps. Laziness or low attention, sure. Most people are naturally lazy. 9/10 wouldn’t take the extra effort to verify.

Fair enough. I do agree with all of this and regularly practice all of this. In fact if you just click on the fake tweet, you see that I Fischer has 99 followers.

I'm just saying it's incredibly unrealistic to expect everyone to this for information as non-critical as this. We should expect more from the platform design. Blaming a poorly designed (and actually intentionally maliciously designed) world on user error guarantees things will never change. I can see if you come from a humanities background why you'd expect training to be the solution. In my experience, the solution to technological problems is the technology itself. That doesn't preclude a user verifying, but it also doesn't require it 100% of the time.

[chuck_wagon44]

any idea when this is happening? seems like KD was traded to houston a month ago. still not official yet.

[K N U C K L E S]

Not impressed until I see a 30 team trade

Wait until expansion and then a 32 team trade .

Why stop there? Let's get the WNBA inolved too.

[LuDux1]

Can teams trade entire roster for entire roster?
