The kings are so awful. DeAndre Hunter is all you could get for Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroeder?

This guy is a knock down shooter for the Hawks. .423 this year, .437 last year.

Reath has looked like Bassey - some real flashes of defensive potential... but he is also 29yo and barely ever plays.

They need size, but afraid to make a real trade. I think they got worse here.

EDIT: I just saw Reath had foot surgery and is out for the season. Hilarious.

My goodness that would be amazing.

Lakers: hey, we need rim and perimeter defense and 3pt shooting around Luka.

Lakers GM: I got ya, how about 39yo DeMar DeRozan

I saw today that this was Schroeder's 8th trade for 2nd place but Ariza leads with 11.

It's not really an NBA season until Schroder has been traded.

I find it amazing that (NBA Champion) Ish Smith played for 13 teams, but was only traded 7 times. That guy barely made it a whole lot of times.

It makes no sense. Mitchell is already ball dominant and now you're gonna throw Harden in the mix too?

Got to get a proven winner like Harden to get them over the hump.

Definitely makes no sense for this season. Harden known for being a playoff choker and now you have two guys who want the ball and don't play defense.

In the ESPN article, Bontemps suggested they want Harden to be their main guy next season and move on from Mitchell in the offseason. Mitchell is a FA in '27 and Cleveland isn't sure they can hang on to him or even if they will want to commit to him long term.

I kind of get it for Cleveland. Can't depend on Garland health wise. And the east is so wide open with no clear contender. So despite Harden's playoff foibles, why not? He's not going to have to be THE guy.

Lauri + 5 Rebound Jaren is the softest star duo ever .


Smart of Memphis to commit to the tank.


But 60% of the cap to JJJ+Lauri is wild. Wonder if they flip Lauri elsewhere. Utah needs defense bad.

Solid draft capital.

Yeah, maybe the 6th time is the charm for a 37 year old to lead a team to a championship.

The 2027 draft is to be historically weak.

Will be interested to see if Ainge flips any of these guys or if Lauri Markkannen is out.

My guess is Lauri is out. Doesn't make sense for them to get better when they are going to be a lottery team.

Edit: If they don't get top 8 their pick goes to OKC. Yea Lauri gone for sure unless they just sit him out.

They are just going to sit everyone this year regardless. JJJ and Trae Young can start a podcast while their new teams tank.

Some guys that aren't lottery this year will probably sign big NIL deals to go back to school.

14th pick gets about 5M, so people after that can get about the same to play NCAA and improve draft status. Duke offered Cedric Coward $3M to transfer last year.

The Ringer's Chris Vernon's show is on live right now (youtube). I went back to the point where he heard that Jaren was traded. He was stunned, and mentioned how on The Mismatch released this morning, he said he didn't want Jaren traded.

It features a call from Jacoby. Not a professional call, but Jacoby on speaker phone.


The next home game for Memphis is the Utah Jazz.

Lauri already sat for 2 weeks with "illness." Jazz have become masters of sitting guys out. Keyonte just sprained his ankle, so that should be an excuse for him to be done for the year also.

Wanking motion

Minnesota willing to move back a few spots in the draft to get rid of Conley's salary? Is this just general salary-shedding, or are they making room for another move soon?

Wait, so who's going to Minny? Or is this a space move for a future bigger piece of the Greek variety ?

I think this now means every player from the 2018 NBA draft has been traded or released from the team that acquired them on draft night (or soon thereafter).

Ayton
Bagley
Luka
JJJ
Trae Young
Mo Bamba
Wendell Carter Jr
Collin Sexton


ETA: Or had to sit out a year for domestic assault.
