So, with the Suns officially eliminated from playoff contention, there's already reports that Bradley Beal has a 0% chance to stay in Phoenix. According to Evan Sidery, Phoenix could pull off a historic buyout on Beal's contract, which is worth $104 million over 2 years.

It's unbelievable to think before he arrived in Phoenix, he was an All-Star caliber player averaging 30+ pts per game, he STARTED an All-Star game back in 2021, but when the whispers of him leaving in unrestricted free agency started swirling, the Wizards got desperate, paid him $251 MILLION OVER 5 YEARS with a NO TRADE CLAUSE, and decided to enter in win now mode with him, Porzingis, and Kuzma. But of course, the Wizards didn't make the playoffs and after holding on to him for way too long, Washington blew things up and he was out to Phoenix. Phoenix send out all that was left of their draft capital (4 1st swaps and 6 2nd rounders) to enter in win now mode with KD and Book. But, it's been a massive failure for both B…

Honorable mention is LeBron and Rui…

If Williams doesn't stay healthy anytime soon, he could be on the trade block. And after Ayton gets shipped out to whoever takes a bet on him, the Blazers get their new backup big in WCJ to complement Donovan Clingan. A protected 1st is a big price, but considering Williams' track record with health, I think it's neccesary…

Honorable mentions are Derrick Jones Jr. to the Clippers and Gary Trent to the Bucks…

$200+ million in salary, paying Book, KD, and Beal massive amounts of money, you are projected to contend for a title, and you can't even make the playoffs? This is just pathetic. Matt Ishbia should be put in a supermax prison for how fast he ruined the Suns….

So after the bomb that was the Michael Malone firing, we got ourselves some betting odds on Jokic's next team if he gets traded. And, at a +500 to land Jokic: the Lakers. Not really surprising lmao.

Look, I don't know how tf the Lakers are gonna make a move to land the best player in the NBA, because it's not fucking possible, but knowing the NBA and their worshipping of the Lakers, they will do everything in their power to make it happen. Luka and Jokic on paper, the best offensive duo maybe ever. The lobs, the shooting, the no look passes, it will be must see TV. And the NBA will get it's sweet, sweet ratings back on top.

So, the trade is: LeBron (he somehow agrees to the trade), Austin Reaves, and their own 1st round pick for 2031, completely unprotected. It's nothing massive, but considering how little the Mavs got back after trading Luka, a package like this is almost identical to what the Lakers gave away for Luka, but instead they are giving away 2 of their 3 best players….

Mavericks make this trade to bring an offensive punch to their roster with Kyrie out with an ACL injury. The Mavs send off Klay Thompson, Caleb Martin, Max Christie, and a 2028 1st swap to the Spurs to bring in Vassell. The Spurs get back Klay, who will add veteran experience and a winning mentality to the Spurs' young roster, specifically to Wemby and Castle. Caleb Martin, who can add some wing depth and Max Christie, who can fill that role for Vassell off the bench and bring some scoring…

So Blazers GM Joe Cronin has agreed to a new multi-year extension with Portland. This is after the Blazers have improved tremendously this season, improving fron 21 wins to 35 wins, just barely missing out on the playoffs. This clearly shows the team is heading in the right direction. Unlike that fraud Neil Olshey. Future is looking bright, you have Avdija, Clingan, Camara, obviously Scoot and Shaedon. I think next year is where the Blazers really go for it if they make a good trade or sign a valuable role player in free agency….

If the player hasn't played a certain amount of games, he's out of the picture

Utah Jaz…

That potential frontcourt of him with KAT. A modern day Oakley and Ewing right there…

$121 million over 4 years is what I think Sharpe is getting this offseason. He's having a career year, and what's important for the Blazers is keeping him long term for their future…

Thunder makes this move to bring a great veteran presence in Conley, who's a fantastic leader and mentor, wherever he goes. They send out Caruso and two 2nd round picks to bring in Conley. Even at 37, he can still shoot the ball well (42% from 3), can still play good defense, and he can mentor Shai, J-Dub, Chet, and all the other young guys in the roster. Meanwhile, the Wolves bring in a great perimeter defender in Caruso, who can give Ant more defensive help in the backcourt…
