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

Yep. We're not doing anything of significance until that gets resolved this summer.

Likely a marginal move at the trade deadline, a 2nd round exit, Luka being great & more Austin glazing.

Give me two moves: Bey and then anyone for Gabe who is a plus contributor and with how things are going, I'll call that a successful deadline.

 

But your guy Walter who you’ve committed to riding with and who’s even tasked his FO people to working with Rob so he can better be in synch with how Mark wants this roster build around Luka to proceed …. WILL be be signing off on any deals from here on. Oh yeah you’re committed with the new ownership now calling the shots, LOL! Backsliding on that too already.

 

we'd be like terrorists for the league

they'd be terrified

 

I hate the idea of waiting on Giannis because we're only going to have the three firsts on draft day, after which one of those picks turns into an actual player that some teams will like and some won't. So unless we trade for Giannis on draft day, which would be really hard to do given Austin is probably in that trade and his contract is up in the air (idk if we even could trade him on draft day), this whole waiting on Giannis thing is all for naught.

 

Yeah, I've got zero interest in him. I hate the process and hostage situation for the league.

If we wait, best case for me is we're the 3rd team and pry away a legit piece from team 3.

So I'm pulling for NY because...

 

Yeah Bridges would be great, but I don't think Giannis is ending up in NY. There was some rumor the other day about the Knicks exploring KAT for AD or JJJ, which I think is the smarter path for them. Brunson is obviously the best player, but I think the greatest strength of their team is the Bridges/Hart/OG wing trio. Kind of like how Kobe was obviously our best guy, but the identity of the 09 and 10 teams was more so the Pau/Odom/Bynum frontcourt rotation that overwhelmed a lot of teams. If they swapped KAT for AD, and AD actually plays, that's a pretty damn good 5.
