OKC needs a defensive-minded 4 to backup 2Pat and to play small ball 5 because outside of Adams, we don't have anyone.

Thunder need to rid themselves of Kanter and sign Jamychal Green!!!!!

If only that was a feasible option.

Boston Celtics

Since the Celtics are the thrid youngest team in the NBA while also aiming for play off success, we could use some veterans to fill out the roster. I'm thinking about true pro's who understand where the Celtics are headed and not complain if they don't get playing time, but also are ready to contribute once called upon. Contract length and size are secondary since the Cs are pretty set for the near future with the exception of Smart's RFA next offseason.

Positional needs:
- A true 7 footer for 15-20 minutes to match big front courts. Should at least possess one of those four traits (the more the better), good rebounder, good defender, hard screener or good passer.
- A 3&D combo guard to challenge Rozier for playing time.

Available:
Second round picks, young players (not the lottery selections), first round picks. It all depends on who we're talking about.

We used to have a sticky for this. You take your team and in one to four sentences encapsulate what anyone unfamiliar with your team should know when making a trade for them. Then that will get truncated to a few informative snippets and added into the OP so everyone can make great trades for the team in question.

Examples (may not be the actual team needs):


Milwaukee Bucks

Looking to take the leap through internal growth from 42 win team to 48-50. Roster is pretty much stayed the same, which is a bunch of guys that can play multiple positions, defend multiple positions. Lots of solid role, unexciting role players to have around Giannis until Jabari gets back.

Dynamic PG that can get to the rim and create off the dribble is the biggest need.

Pieces available: role players, some younger guys that haven't broken through yet, future picks
Not available: Giannis, Thon
Probably not available: Middleton, Parker, Brogdon

Orlando Magic

Needs

Elite talent / Everything

Trade Block
Everyone except AG, Payton, and Isaac. Realistically Fournier, Vuc, and Ross I would imagine are the most valuable assets that would be available imo. I don't want to trade any of them mainly because it would mean we'd have to watch Biyombo and Hezonja play basketball more than any human should. But they still consist of just very good role players regardless of looking a little more modern and in desperate need of talent.

- A 3&D combo guard to challenge Rozier for playing time.

Available:
Second round picks, young players (not the lottery selections), first round picks. It all depends on who we're talking about.

This literally screams Vucevic.

And on the Celtics board you find a lot of people who feel the same way, the only problem is the salary matching. The Cs don't have those juicy below market value contracts anymore. The Celtics would have to trade Morris plus one of Tatum/Brown/Smart and some other young players to match Vuc's $12.5 million dollar contract and personally i belive that is an overpay, because those three lottery players mentioned have all significant rotation roles.

Look at it this way, out of the three guys you mentioned, who is starting? I think Tatum, right? It would be silly for Boston to give us Tatum before he shows what he is or isn't, but Smart and Brown are overpays?

What is Brown's game like? I honestly am asking. We really need consistent three-point shooting more than anything else with even average defense. I don't think Smart fits that because of the shooting requirement.

Any Magic fan would love Tatum though. I wish it were a trade we could actually make. I believe it would be mutually beneficial considering you have enough wing weapons as it stands with Hayward and Kyrie. Ainge doesn't like to execute trades that are immediately considered to be mutually beneficial, which has helped you guys quite a bit in the past.

[Roy The Natural]

Needs - shooters

Trade block - Vonleh, Ed Davis, 2018 1st rounder, Connaughton, Layman, Harkless, Swanigan (if the player is right), Napier.

[E S V L]

Grizzlies

Need - 1st round picks and/or young talents for each position except C

Available: Wright, Macklemore, Parsons, Ennis, Martin, Chalmers, Evans
Available for some sort of overpayment: Gasol, Conley, Green
Untouchable because still developing: Brooks, Harrison, Selden, Davis, Rabb

[Zion Wembanyama]

Pelicans

Need: A two-way starting SF, who is at least 6'7.

[Cappy_Smurf]

Pelicans

Need: A two-way starting SF, who is at least 6'7.

Alec Burks is 6'6 and has been a 6MOY candidate when healthy, so I don't think it's a stretch that he could be a starter. I also think Derrick Favors could be useful to the Pels if they aren't interested in Burks. A 3 man big rotation of AD/Boogie/Favors would be pretty nice to take into the playoffs.

I think Utah and NO could be good trade partners.

Shall we make a call for a pre-deadline update?

UPDATE:
Thon DEFINITELY available lol

[NYG]

I think the Knicks are not committed to a tank, but also not going to sacrifice anything of future value (picks, Ntilikina, etc.) for a win now move either. The Knicks are shopping their centers with O’Quinn and/or Hernangomez seeming the most likely to be dealt and Courtney Lee, but I think they ask for just too much for any team to realistically give in return without enough desperation to dump him so I bet Lee stays. Lance Thomas would be neutral in trade talks with the Knicks being more likely to use him as filler. I don’t think any one else on the Knicks is going to be shopped. They’re looking for athletic two-way wings with an emphasis on their perimeter defense.

[HartfordWhalers]

Letting this one float away and moving on to the new one.

[Sportfan73]

Please an expiring stretch 4 for Philly to replace Booker
