Houston look to move Jalen Green in the off season.

Starting line up for 25/26 season:

FVV (resign new cheaper contract)

Devin Booker

Amen Thompson

Jabari Smith (extension eligible)

Alperen Sengun (first year of new contract)…

Could they push for the play-in?? 🤷🏽…

I personally wouldn't go much further than this if I'm Stone. Would otherwise wait until the off-season with Phoenix's picks.

The 28' is a pick swap with preference going to Sacramento.

Cards on the table.. I'm starting to become a Jalen Green believer again…..

I don't know why. But I really want the Bulls to make the playoffs. Maybe as a big f*ck you to everyone who wants them to trade Lavine and Vuce.

They have moveable contracts. Apart from Lavine everyone is on a pretty good salary - cap wise.

I get people wanting to trade everyone and makes some moves (I mean shit or get off the pot already) but I dunno. The East is still pretty wide open. They could play the spoiler.

White/Lavine/Giddy/Zion/Vuce

Seems like a pretty fun starting line up….

PELS move their big contracts. Get picks out of it and some usable pieces. Zion > Randle obviously. But at least Randle plays 🤷🏽

HORNETS get an exciting player to play next to Melo and buy low. Give up a few rotation players but look at the upside.

SUNS if they DONT make a big move for Jimmy. Gets a good player and a bunch of expirings/minimum contracts they can waive after the trade deadline if need be. Can go into the the off season with a handful of moveable contracts.

BULLS reset and look to make a playoff run. I think everyone wants them to tank and trade their guys. But they never do. White broke out but the Bulls still have a bunch of guards. Use White to get off PatWills contract (which is rumoured they want to do) and get a better player in return.

WOLVES realise the Randle experiment didn't work. Get an ok player to fill the gap, unless they want to really lean into Naz at the 4. More importantly get a point guard that can play. Dillingham will be good, for sure. But th…

Funny to say that a 2nd seed who just beat (just) the best team in the league needs something, but here we are.

Not sure if Grizzlies do this though….

Kings move Huerter and a 2nd for Brooks, to be the defensive presence between Keegan and DeMar. Could very likely come off the bench too if Monk starts. DB has been shooting.. well? From 3 this season but his defense has been elite as always. People will still have their issues with DB but in Houston he has been fantastic. And I say that as someone who HATED the signing when it happened.

Brooklyn head into rebuild and take on Jocks contract which is essentially an expiring (team option on each year), and could get some more value out of Huerter down the road. Most importantly they get their unprotected swap back from Houston, who probably won't give that up for anything less that a great role player like Cam. Otherwise they could shop it for another similar player, but then Brooklyn runs the risk of having to negotiate with THAT team (devil you know kinda thing). Not wanting to pay Sharpe, they move his contract.

Houston reset for the playoffs. Dillon Brooks has been nothing short of…

Memphis may have moved on from the need for a traditional big, especially one at Clints price point…
