If OKC loses this series, it just shows that their current line up is not enough to beat the best in the west( Luka & Jokic eliminates them on back to back season)
OKC/MIL
OKC get Giannis Antetokounmpo
Pg SGA/Wiggins/Caruso
Sg Dort/Joe
Sf Williams/Williams
Pf Giannis
Ce Hartenstein/Williams
MIL get Chet Holmgren, Ousmane Dieng, Alex Caruso, Nikola Topic & 3 1st round picks
1.) 13 May 2025 19:57:37
They have the rookie they drafted, Niokla Topic coming back from injury next year. Plus alot of picks going forward. They dont need a Top 5 guy. OKC can just stay the course and work their books.
09 May 2025 16:11:09
NOP/ORL
NOP get KCP & Wendell Carter Jr
Pg Murray/Alvarado
Sg KCP/Hawkins
Sf Murphy/Herb
Pf Williamson
Ce Carter Jr/Missi
ORL get CJ McCollum
- sign Brook Lopez or Capela
Pg Suggs
Sg McCollum
Sf Wagner
Pf Banchero
Ce Lopez or Capela
Magic adds veterans, a scorer they need and some rim protection
Pelicans add a center who can stretch the floor for Zion
Add picks if needed
1.) 09 May 2025 17:55:31
I like it.
2.) 10 May 2025 17:36:52
How many years left on KCP and WCJ? CJ is expiring?
09 May 2025 14:26:15
ATL/MIL
ATL get Giannis Antetokounmpo
Pg Young
Sg Daniels
Sf Johnson
Pf Giannis
Ce Capela (or sign a fa)
MIL get Zaccharie Risacher, Onyeka Okongwu, Georges Niang & 3 unprotected 1st round picks + 2 pick swaps
Pg Lillard
Sg Trent Jr
Sf Risacher
Pf Kuzma
Ce Okongwu
1.) 09 May 2025 17:58:09
I don't know if it's enough but I think it's a pretty solid package. Capela a FA so sign Lopez-would need shooting anyway.
07 May 2025 17:37:50
MEM/NOLA
MEM get Dejounte Murray, Jordan Hawkins & 2 1st round picks
Pg Murray/Pippen
Sg Bane/Hawkins
Sf Wells/Kennard
Pf Jackson/Clarke
Ce Edey/Huff
NOLA get Ja Morant
Pg Morant
Sg McCollum
Sf Murphy
Pf Williamson
Ce Missi
1.) 10 May 2025 17:37:45
Yikes.
05 May 2025 16:44:48
HOU retool
HOU/PHX
HOU get Devin Booker
PHX get Jalen Green, Jabari Smith Jr, Jock Landale, 3 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps
Assuming the trade happens when Green's contract extension kicks in
The Rockets get someone who can provide big baskets when needed, the Suns look to move on by getting young players. Durant and Beal next to be traded
Pg Vanvleet/Holiday
Sg Booker/Sheppard
Sf Brooks/Tate
Pf Thompson/Eason
Ce Sengun/Adams
1.) 05 May 2025 19:26:45
It's close in value, I think you'd need to add one of Sheppard or Eason to get Phoenix to bite. Those picks may not be too appealing to Phoenix since they'll likely be in the 20's.
2.) 06 May 2025 08:31:33
I think that's an overpay for Booker. Houston owns the Suns picks. They have no future without those picks, So phoenix should be happy if they can trade booker for those picks.

All Star 2025 is terrible imo:
They should go back to classic:
1st day: Rookie vs Sophomore
2nd day:
Skills challenge - guards vs bigs
Three point shootout - 6 players
Slam dunk contest - Dream players to participate (Morant, Lavine, Gordon, Giannis, Zion)
3rd day: East vs West All-Stars wearing their own team jerseys would be cool to see again
06 Feb 2025 09:44:42
What do you think about the trade deadline so far?
Doncic for Davis, Max
Lavine / Fox / Picks deal
Butler for Wiggins Tucker pick
Ingram for Brown, Olynyk picks
Theis to Thunder is another underrated move
Knecht, Reddish pick for Mark Williams
Kuzma for Middleton deal
This could be one of the most interesting deadlines so far
Who wins?
1.) 06 Feb 2025 16:31:20
I think the opinions on the Luka trade is clear.
I love the idea of a Fox-Wemby pairing.
Lots of people have said they don't like the deal for GSW but I think you'd rather have Butler and Curry and just figure it out from there.
I love Ingram in Toronto
Not too sure about the Thunder but Theis is pretty good.
I'm kinda surprised the Lakers gave up Knecht early, he was one of their best young prospects. Getting a center, though, is pretty big.
It's kinda sad to see Middleton not commanding any value. Kuz I guess is an upgrade?
2.) 06 Feb 2025 19:50:00
Well just like that the Thunder waived Theis.
3.) 07 Feb 2025 01:39:40
Pels got draft capital on a guy that wasn’t going to resign and is often injured. Brown is expiring and they’ll move Olynk before new season. I wish they could’ve moved CJ also.
4.) 07 Feb 2025 09:33:01
LAL are a better and even younger team. : )
03 Feb 2025 01:36:42
2 heavyweight deals in 24hrs. NBA is shaking. Jimmy Butler trade next.
02 Feb 2025 06:23:33
As a Lakers fan, i'm in mixed emotions right now. I know they're thinking future after Lebron and Luka fits in LA business. However, losing one of the best big men today is really hard. I dont know who won this trade, future will tell. Dallas now with 3 headed monster in Davis Gafford & Lively which is very similar to Davis Dwight & Javale who won with the Lakers. I dont expect improvement right away for my Lakers but i hope they can atleast get Myles Turner to anchor their defense along with DFS & Vando ?
I'm thinking Dallas will make another win now move and PJ washington could be out the door and be swapped to a starting caliber 3.
1.) 02 Feb 2025 11:49:07
You just take Luka and worry about the rest later.
2.) 03 Feb 2025 07:39:56
LA is a free agent destination. They should wait and sign Giannis in 27.
20 Nov 2024 15:12:43
Saw this on a random players selection, who wins in a series?
Team 1
Pg Ja Morant
Sg Kawhi Leonard
Sf Lebron James
Pf Dirk Nowitzki
Ce Joel Embiid
Vs
Team 2
Pg John Stockton
Sg Kobe Bryant
Sf Dominique Wilkins
Pf Tim Duncan
Ce Dwight Howard
1.) 28 Nov 2024 13:39:05
Team one when healty+ young LBJ.
06 May 2025 18:57:09
Phoenix can do better.
06 May 2025 15:21:56
Getting 2 superstars will require atleast Amen Thompson and Sengun.
23 Feb 2025 14:13:35
If you can somehow find a way to get Kawhi without giving up Mobley Mitchell Allen and Garland. That would be nice but this one is a no for Cavs.
23 Feb 2025 14:12:28
If you remove the picks, Indiana might still say no. That package can get thema better option. Mark Williams could be a cheap choice.
06 Feb 2025 09:39:33
Almost. A first and a 2nd made it.
06 Feb 2025 19:50:00
Well just like that the Thunder waived Theis.
05 Feb 2025 08:54:32
Gasupo you do realize that AD in New Orleans had plenty of help but achieved nothing?
25 Jan 2025 09:46:21
Trae Young is definitely an allstar. I would make a case for Herro over Wagner too.
14 Jan 2025 21:49:54
Lakers been so inconsistent this season and it's very frustrating. They can beat the best teams at times but then struggling to beat mediocre teams
The positives:
I like the leap of Austin Reaves & Max Christie thus far, hope they can be more consistent
AD has been relatively healthy and that's a good sign
Nice to have a rookie who can play with confidence (Knecht)
The negatives:
I really hate the fact that they dont realize they cant win with AD playing the 5, they just cant. They dont have any reliable big on that roster (Hayes, Koloko are end of the bench guys) .
Note: I dont know what to expect from Lebron, he is still amazing at 40 but sometimes, the decline is evident, he doesnt seem so committed at times id you watch the game closely, though you cant blame him for just enjoying the game in this twilight of his career.
Key notes:
- Improvement in damn 3 point shooting, ironic that they have a coach who loves shooting but they cant hit their shots
- turnover, lousy passes, unforced errors. Those simple things are killing them especially in crucial stages of the game
- need to find a center badly, remove Hachimura from that starting 5 and have a decent center to pair with AD.
06 Nov 2024 22:15:23
Durant will start.
