2023 TRADE DEADLINE MEGATHREAD

[Tetsujin]

The Sixers not having multiple second round picks because of tampering when Mike Muscala is going for multiple second round picks at the deadline is going to make it pretty tough to make a move of consequence today. Less than three hours to go!

Amick on with Carmichael Dave and Jason Ross.

Doesn't have a read on what the Kings front office is up to either.

“If you think this is over, it ain’t over,” said Brian Windhorst. “Kyrie really was interested in being in Phoenix, so just start thinking about that.”

Kyrie going to Suns this summer and then following KD to every team he goes to . . . Is full cartoon villan mode activated.

Amick: No interest around the league for Richaun Holmes.

Gonna destroy the league one team at a time lol

Golden State and Detroit are in conversations to trade Saddiq Bey, league sources told @YahooSports. The Warriors have shown an increased willingness to move James Wiseman before this afternoon's trade deadline, and the Pistons hold an interest in the former No. 2 pick.

Detroit collecting draft busts like Dragon Balls is going to be my new favorite thing

Can never have too many underperforming bigs

Duren is a legitimate stud big. Not sure why they need to bring in Wiseman to muddle up their rotations even more.

You know what they say. Nothing encourages development like brining in 6 other young guys to compete at the same position

Also typical DET. Moving a wing for a big in today's nba landscape. Especially when you have your big covered for the next decade

It's the Kings bringing big men every year only to have Jason Thompson and Boogie end up starting every season all over again.

Them keeping Bogdanovic would be the cherry on the top of the poop sundae.

I'd be disappointed, but would be downright mad if we made an all in move that included Keegan to try to keep up in this arms race.

There's no reason to try and make a win now move. Nothing we get back for Keegan will move us into the favorites mix. Let's get some playoff experience this year and next. Make minor upgrades along the way. Obviously resign Sabonis. Try and land a nice free agent in 2024 when there will be a bunch of them. And be ready to compete in the 2024/25 season when the Lakers, Warriors, and Suns should no longer be as big of threats.

Matisse to Portland

Oof. At the same time, if there were a western conference team I'd want him to go to it'd be the Blazers who were pretty much the furthest down the competition ladder of all the non tanking teams.

Oof

Gotta know the cost before my reaction …

Every team in the West is trying to make upgrades… I don’t really fear Matisse on Portland, but that’s a guy we kinda miss out on.
