2025-26 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

This isn't cool JJ. Especially guys like Vando and Smart. I'm not a Vando guy obviously and Smart will go Get Smart but those dudes fight just as hard or harder then Godwin and DFS.

 

Merry Christmas. Blessings brother.

 

I do think the Rivalry of the NBA is OKC San Antonio. Did it span from NBA Cup?? Well that’s how they’re hyping it.

but I said it. It’s their league.

We just gotta figure out how to catch one of these teams cold in a playoff series. And just hopefully we can win.

or down the line a player like Anthony Edwards or Jokic or Gianiss wants to join up with Reaves and Doncic.

we can keep building our culture to.

Silver is doing Cart wheels cause he has his next NBA rivalry.

 

Good games today so far!

 

Kleber + Vincent + LeRavia + 2032 2nd + 2030 swap + 2032 swap to Kings for Ellis + Monk.

Kings might go for this because it enables them to tank more, while also unloading Monk's fairly large contract, while at the same time freeing up log jams in the back court, bolstering the front court with and decent and young role player LeRavia, who has been our best front court defender. They had Jake last season, and wanted to keep him. They get distant swaps, which are two of the most valuable swaps that we have, and the 2032 2nd. They get all that for two players that they don't even want to give minutes to right now. Do you guys thing this would be sufficient to get it done? In this scenario, we keep assets to potentially make a run at Herb, or use on other wing defender type players for an upgrade over Rui.

 

SAS seems to have OKC number. Who knows instead of the OKC dynasty we maybe witnessing the beginning of the Wemby one.

They are tough with fox healthy now

 

They definitely don't fear OKC.

 

watching the spurs just neutralize okc by switching all the up top ball screens makes me super sad. both teams with just tons of perimeter athleticism.

fox looks better than ever, imo.

 

Sigh I would have given the house for Fox. He's going to be a terror on a good team

 

We need to hang onto Jake IMO. Don't like that at all. Not to bring Monk in. Or much smaller and much skinnier Ellis. Jake's equally as aggressive a perimeter defender as Ellis against much bigger players. Good BIG man over good little man priority. Jake's gotten better and better on the D side of the ball plus his all around hustle as the season has gone on.

 

Fox wanted SAS from the beginning I believe. Matter of fact, "before" SAS made the trade, there was a writer that had said SAS shouldn't make the trade because Wemby would be need a couple of years to develop and Fox is a "win-now" piece or some convoluted logic.

Would love to see an SAS-OKC series, though.

 

Yeah, but you do have to give up something in order to get something. Jake has a positive history with Sacramento, and we would be selling high on him. He's on a nice two year 6 million deal. That's value from a Kings perspective imo. Monk and Ellis are skinnier, but also more athletic and better shooters. We have a few bulky player already upfront, size isnt our issue.

 

Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis suffered a right groin injury in the first half of their Christmas matchup with the Golden State Warriors and was ruled out prior to the third quarter

Dallas doesn't control it draft pickes after this year I believe - i really can't believe they havent moved AD yet. As soon as he's healthy and playing good I would have moved him

 

especially after harris was fired. you have carte blanche to trade him for cap relief, imo. they should do it. i love AD, but he ain't AD anymore. he can put a team over the top if he can be a secondary offensive option and is willing to play center. if that's true for you, and you only have to give up expiring money or whatever, you should do it. and so should dallas. they need to take a couple years to let flagg get his footing and build with youth around him.

 

I know exactly what play Reaves got hurt on.

Aytons dumb a** should’ve passed to wide open Reaves for a three instead drives turns the ball over which led to a fast break where Reaves had to take a charge and clearly reagrivated it. That’s 2 weeks. Thanks a lot Ayton.

 

Well it’s been real. If we don’t make a trade it’s a 1st round exit for this team.

 

JJ killing me - this Rui with the starters is brutal. Lakers clank the start as everyone is expecting by this point. Claw book look like a solid team then goes back to the dubm starting lineup before half. AR out then it's all over.

I mean I know he's a rookie but Theiro is the perfect type of player for Phoenix and no burn

 

JJ is really dumb by refusing to improve this team’s athleticism, continuing to keep Thiero under his thumb.

 

Jj Reddick is clueless. This was clearly a game for Thiero. It was athletic and wings. We needed someone to get in front of Durant and Thompson. This is what this kind of game is for Thiero.

you get him in there and let him run.

it’s dumb. Give Thiero 35 minutes a game. We need the perimeter defense. Fire away.

they just had Vando in there.

the perimeter was destroying us.

I’d think of Gianiss. But the only atheleticsm you have is Thiero. You gotta play him.

Laravia is good too.

DFS didn’t do s***.

Durant is a walking bucket.


Lebron came home. I’m watching Thursday night football post game on Amazon.

Let’s see what Rob has planned.
