[NBA] Trade Deadline Season 2026 Open Thread

Might be getting "Foxed".

If Giannis is saying he'd only re-up with Minny or MIA, severely limits their return back

If GSW are out of the running for Giannis, they may finally be inclined to finally move Kuminga for a player to help Steph this season. Hunter or DeMarr would surely help Steph more than a disgruntled Kuminga.
 
They said on DLo and KC the rumor going around is the team is broken by the tanking. It will be interesting to see if this is a move to actually start winning or if they are going to do what we all expect
At this point, they need to turn things loose and build things up for a legit playoff run next year. Lottery positioning be damned. They have a core now (whether you like them or not). Need to build that winning culture.
 
Not a Morant fan even prior to this year (inefficient with negligible D), but at a certain price I guess it’s worth the roll of the dice. Don’t want him messing with the tank this year tho
 
I know the context is different but this reminds me of a Immortal Technique lyric "I'd rather be rich and unhappy then broke and miserable"
I just think that by staying in Sacramento he damages his future career earnings. But hell if I made 50 million in a year I'd call it a day.
 
So are we intent on only trading for / signing players that no other teams wants now? After LaVine, Westbrook, the Kuminga offers, and perhaps now Morant this appears to be the overall rationale. Does the Kings front office know something that nobody else does?
 
Devil is in the detail regarding the draft picks, but that's a huge contract and a lot of youth/draft picks going out from utah. Jackson would not be the guy I bet the farm on.

former DPOY and 2 time All-star, the farm is expected. although I don't see him really maxing out any more than what he is right now as far as ceiling is concerned

this will be his last big pay day, referring to next season. after that he will be chasing vet min most likely or go collect in China or Europe
