2026 NBA Trade Discussion Thread

saw some reports on Atlanta not sold on Okongwu. Maybe the Walker Kessler resolution becomes us trading Walker to Atlanta in a sign and trade this summer and taking back Okongwu. Is that the type of big Hardy wants? At least part time maybe.

Apparently Ja is now available too. Unless the Kings come calling I am not sure who does that.

Id rather keep Kessler, but thats a good alternative

I like OO alot. He's a really good kid too my son played against him in high school. He's a little undersized to be your full time center he would be an easy fit in any big man rotation. I mean if they aren't willing to fully commit to Kessler and give him his money they can do way worse than acquiring OO who is signed to a really cheap deal for two more seasons.

I could also see him continuing to improve a bit and being good in a tandem with another big in a rotation. Would want to target another center with legit size to pair him with.

Gonna guess its like the Kings and Demar Derozan/Malik Monk... maybe they get Keon Ellis in there and some seconds. Vivek can't resist this.

Crazy they went 1-2 in the draft to this

This trade just posted
What do Jazz give up if true?

Just a proposal - Here's the Jazz part that was cut off:

Yeah I remember all those teams especially the Knicks tanking for that draft too.

Sounds like clippers might move on ja

Tatum was considered a top 8-10 player in the league before his injury. Also, Tatum's injury was a ruptured achilles, rather than an ACL.

To me he's more of a top 15 guy, in the same tier as Donovan. He's just blessed with a perfect roster. Put Donovan in his place Celtics still would've won that championship, except I don't see him losing that FMVP to Jaylen. And ruptured achilles is even worse than an ACL. So nah, Ainge wouldn't trade Lauri for him.
