Draft Selections:

No picks in t…

The Timberwolves clearly need a PG now that Conley is starting to decline. Trae Young would be the ideal complement to Edwards as a shooter and passer. They still have Naz Reid to play the 5 without Gobert and Capela could provide some solid depth off the bench.

The Lakers desperately need a center now that AD is gone. Luka fits best with a great defensive anchor who can also be a lob threat. Gobert checks both boxes, and his addition would instantly make the Lakers contenders for this season. Also, adding an incredible defensive guard in Dyson Daniels next to Luka would be a perfect fit as it gives the Lakers 2 all defense level players.

The Hawks are a mess right now because they are without Johnson the rest of the year, they were mediocre with him, and they don't control any of their next 3 FRPs. This trade would let them rebuild from scratch with an interesting prospect in Reaves and they could get their own picks back and steer into the tank as they build around him, Johnson, Ri…

vit spot minutes…

I'm sure OKC considers Chet + J Will both untouchable. Also think that 25 picks might put some pause to that sentiment if this offer was real… if only they were getting more than Dyson and Mathurin. Should be giving them Bitadze as well but I didn't wanna gut the Magic.

Why Orlando does this - Amen and picks. Dort's not bad. Nesmith not as bad as people make him out to be on here. Reed Shepp has been balling in the G League. Losing Franz hurts… but their team didn't get gutted that bad, and all those picks gotta count for something. Could find the next Herb or even Brunson there. Overall, I could see ORL not buying this though, unless there was another piece on top the teams could compete for and walk away with if they "won" the trade.

Hawks take this all day. Franz ftw.

Pacers say thank you for Chet… trade off KCP.

Rockets quietly agree to J Will, trade Wiggins….

Knicks Trade Julius Randle & 2 1st round picks(Instead of Donte) to Minnesota for KAT. Knicks Trade Bojan Bogdanovic & 3 1st Round Picks to Pelicans for Herb Jones & Dyson Daniels(Before his breakout year so value wasn't as high as now)

Knicks Lineup would be: PG: Jalen Brunson SG: Herb Jones SF: OG Anunoby PF: KAT C: MItchell Robinson

Bench: Divincenzo/Josh Hart/McBride/Precious Achiuwa/Cam Payne…

New Nets SL:

Monk Daniels Cameron Johnson Giannis Zubac

Nets say F the rebuild and decide to go all in this offseason. They would still have more cap space after this trade so they could sign some bench guys….

New bucks SL:

Doujounte Murray Dyson Daniels Jimmy Butler Giannis Lopez

An amazing defensive lineup with all 5 defenders being great at guarding their position. This lineup could quite easily be the best defense in the NBA right now if it clicked. Offensively it is still very solid with Jimmy and Giannis owning the midrange and paint, Lopez and doujante spacing the floor, and Daniel’s being able to operate as a solid offensive role player….

New Bucks SL:

Doujante KCP Dyson Daniels Jalen Johnson Jaren Jackson Jr

Crazy defensive lineup with solid offense. JJJ as the main offensive option with Jalen Johnson and Doujante Murray also being big parts of the offense. KCP can knock down open looks brought by the big three and Dyson Daniels can also score decently. On defense there are no weaknesses and JJJ plus Dyson Daniels will demolish teams and create havoc. When the worst defender on your starting lineup is KCP you are gonna lock teams up….

Who says no?

Bucks rebuild

Am I delusional for thinking hawks would do this…

Luka + chet = Eastern Conference Finals??? Championship???

Mavs get Paolo + J Dub

Thunder get Franz + Dyson Daniels. This is where I say we need to play for a player. Battle Royale… Winner gets Dame. Because the Thunder or the Bucks ain't entering into this trade until there's one last piece each of them could snag. But boy would that be fun… or imagine everyone in Orlando holding their breath because everyone is playing for PAOLO. A 3 part Goblet of Fire type contest… consisting of a dribble knockout for example with Kyrie, Shai, Ant, Dyson, Ja, a 33 shot 3-point shootout in honor of Larry, and a live ball rebound you have to clear out to half court before you score one bucket. Could you imagine if Steph pulled up from the logo on that… My hands are sweating thinking about it. To win someone like Jimmy Butler to their team… and give them a chance to compete for a championship that late in their career. Just double their salary, totally off the cap, and give them 3…

This would work in the offseason, money works out I think. TBH the other two frps that the hawks have can go…

WHY THUNDER DO THIS: Thunder gets a playoff proven star, who can defend, shoot, and drive

WHY CELTICS DO THIS: CELTS CAPTURE THE FLAGG! Moves pritchard to the one and draft some solid players to build more for the future. WE ALSO GET DANIELS! while also getting hartenstein as a backuo big, a defence speciaslist in jonathan isaac, and a shooter is ISOJOE 2.0

WHY MAGIC DO THIS: They need their PG, and jrue holiday gives them some solid veteran leadership and also improves their perimeter def more.

WHY HAWKS DO THIS: They got amazing picks to completely freshen out their roster.

Trust me the more you look at this trade from a situation POV, it makes sense. Ik some of yall gonna come at me saying "OH THE CELTICS WONT DO A LATERAL TRADE W THE THUNDER", to that i say, shutup, coz this trade is j a fun concept….
