2026 NBA Trade Discussion Thread

I don’t mind the Hawks taking a flier on Kuminga, but taking on Hield’s contract to do it is horrible. They might be taking themselves out of the Kessler FA.

Porzingis is an expiring which saves Dubs a lot of money. They can attach Draymond with picks to get rid of him too. Just kinda sucks for Curry that he now has to start his retirement tour early

Who are they flying to Hotlanta?

I mean they are starting at pretty much zero. The last thing you do there is say "Hey first things first, let's Max freaking Walker Kessler."

They are in the "Let's take other teams Junk for assets" phase. You need to preserve cap for that.

They don't have to max him. They can offer just the right amount that we can't do anything about it now, then turn around and trade him for said assets. He's only 24

Looking more and more like Kessler won't have that massive market after all (and probably never did in the first place). For once the Ainges seem to know exactly what they're doing.

I mean here's a guy who offers zero dependable ball skills, is unswitchable and a liability in crunch time because he can't hit his free throws. And he has a shoulder injury that may or may not affect his effectiveness going forward.

Buyer beware

I guess you missed the reports from ESPN and Athletic that multiple teams were offering multiple first round picks for him and we turned them down.

K, well, this ringmaster is probably the best takemaker out there.

I agree that his style is too much. Doesn’t matter.

He crushed Harden on their last episode. Absolutely mutilated him.

Few facts he brought up.

Harden has 173 playoff games played.
In 42 of those games he has more turnovers than field goals made.
In 55 of those games he has scored less than 5 field goals.
In 22 of those games he has scored less than 3 field goals.

Lebron, Steph and KD have played a combined 627 games between them
They combine for 37 games with more TOs than FGM.
They combine for 21 games with less than 5 FGM (KD has only 4 in 170 games)
They combine for 3 games with less than 3 FGM.

Thats wild stuff.
