2026 NBA Trade Discussion Thread

Crazy to me anyone would trade for Morant when you can get LaVine.

Crazy to me that you would trade for either one of them at their current contracts. I would have taken Trae Young over both of them.

Worry about playoff team Toronto why?

Sorry. Tanking PTSD. I just assume that Toronto is up to something.

He also said Dallas will shut him down if he's on the roster even after the hand heals.

I don't think Poeltl will be healthy this year but anything would be helpful.

I think Poeltl is basically day to day and should be back any time. The trade doesn't really make sense for Dallas since Poeltl is locked up long term and I would assume they still view Lively as their starting center of the future. Quickly could be a big upgrade to their guard rotation as well.

Kuminga has demanded a trade.

Kuminga has demanded a trade.

This is like when Michael Scott declared bankruptcy on The Office... at least that's how I see it in my mind.

"I Demand TRADE!!!!"

There was a post on some Facebook basketball group asking who won the Wolves-Jazz Gobert trade.

There were people claiming The Wolves won it because we haven't yet made the playoffs.

A handful of educated posters mentioned we got Kessler, Clayton, George, The Lakers pick, etc. so far.

Noone even cited our two remaining picks.

Both won. Both had completely different goals for the trade

How funny would it be to trade our dead salary for Kuminga then just sit him the rest of the year

Why not just play him? Nurk and Hendricks, I'd do it. Even if he's actually incredible I don't think the Jazz would win more games vs just keeping Nurkic and having a center.

Though I'd probably just rather have the cap-space and take a run at Watson or Ayo

Tony Jones said we’re out on Kuminga. I did float a Nurkic/Brice for Kuminga deal before. He seems a little bit like a head case though.
