Any speculation Detroit could offer a max to LaVine?

I don’t think so, but I would love to Detroit sign him.

Yes


this has been building as credible for a while now. I suspect he could be a backup for Knicks if Brunson falls through.

You will get them. Trades in the early-mid lotto and after are highly dependent on who is available. No need to make a trade if you don't know your guy is available or not.

Detroit also has max cap space now, if they miss-out on guys and want to take a mulligan for next year.

I think you’re right, so a deal probably wouldn’t happen tonight. NYK would want to go through all their long shots options (#4-Ivey, Brogdan (sounds dead), and cap space/S+T for Kyrie or Brunson). I think the chance for any of these is pretty low, and you’re right, DLo may be NYK’s fallback position. Though as a MIN fan, I would hope to see a trade tonight.

I expected more trade fireworks leading up to the draft. This feels like a dud.

Just gotta stop hitting refresh and stop paying attention for 30 minutes so that your friend can text you the big deal that just went down.

same. Expected some deals before the trade that could lead to other picks traded during the draft.

I know most people here don't know him probably, but I'd trust alykhan with my life and he doesn't ever do this. It's legit

Those are also the teams least likely to be willing to give up a big value piece to move up.
