NBA Trade Deadline Mega Thread 2025

BI could be a good get for a team if he comes off the max money nonsense. 4 for 140 or something.

we gonna get two full Buddy Hield cycles in a single year?

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

I need irony font around here sometimes.

We all do.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Imagine preferring Jimmy Butler to Kevin Durant. Do we really need to gift the Warriors another chance at another championship? They are supposed to be old and out of this.

Abolish the West East in regards to standings and give the top 16 teams a playoff appearance. The league is so competitive that you can have 3 all star level players on your team and not make the playoffs. Maybe incorporate the play-in if we add 2 more teams

It starting to look like JVal might end up in Phoenix.

The Suns giving up on their core but in the least tanky way possible because they have none of their own picks lol

We could use that Lithuanian Bear on the Kings. Where is Nurk going?

With Kuzma coming in, the Bucks may move Portis.

Captain said they can do it as long as they a team is under the second apron upon completion of a deal

 

[captain bill]

Don’t understand what the Bucks are doing. Saving money maybe but Middleton’s only got one year left on the contract?

I just don't understand this move for the Bucks.

 

[kingsboi]

Bucks must of not seen the Kuzma quote from last week, good luck Milwaukee

 

[iowamcnabb]

Khris’ injuries have really piled up. This probably gets them under the second apron and they get a team friendly Kuzma deal. Let’s see if he goes back to being a great role player with a clear pecking order with Giannis and Dame

 

[chief bromden]

Kuzma will be a lot better in Milwaukee than DC but super happy that the Kings didn't land him and got LaVine instead. Dodged a Bullet, so to speak

Yeah it’s gotta be them thinking they had to move off Middleton due to health but Kuz is having a career worse year statistically and can’t imagine a guy shooting 28% from 3 on 5 attempts per game is gonna contribute to winning basketball. They also moved their first round pick from this year but looks like he wasn’t playing anyways (which is a further indictment of bad management).

They’re lucky to have Giannis locked up another 2 years bc if I were him I’d be eyeing the door.

Jaden Springer to the Rockets

 

[dude12]

Think Monte really needs to take advantage of the trade exceptions at a minimum for depth purposes at PG and C. Not doing thmakes no sense.

Not exactly the right thread for it but my perfect structure based around the landscape of the league the last two decades now would be seeding a top 16 playoff regardless of conference and play-in only for teams above .500.

What was the quote? I'm having a hard time finding it.

 

[Sherds]

Not sure if this should go here, but Monte looks kinda annoyed and pissed off af in this presser.

He had to answer some pretty pointed questions...

Yep... Bought it on himself making everyone wait 5 weeks.

I agreed with the media that the kings should have done a presser. However, guys like Ham and George really thought they were going to hold Monte’s feet to the fire when in reality we knew all along Monte would let those questions bounce off his steel vest. No juicy answers, no shared private conversations, no share future trade plans. He isn’t Nico Harrison or Vlade. At least they can all shut up about it on their shows after today.
