2026 NBA Trade Discussion Thread

Warriors maybe target MPJ or JJJ.

Knicks I think will just wait and try to trade for Giannis.

Gonna be interesting to see if GS or NY do anything. Knicks are a mess and GS lost Jimmy. Wonder if the Warriors just punt another prime Steph year.

At this point they need to pick a lane, IMO. Jimmy should miss next year at this stage in his career and where the “recovery” timetable is gonna fall. After next season, he’s a free agent.

Either push your chips in with Jimmy’s money and picks or trade Steph/whatever else for picks/prospects and get to the rebuild.

Third lane A is going and grabbing a guard with no market like Lavine. Third lane B is just doing nothing which I think is just stupid. A might get them through the play-in, B will not.

Does Markkanen, who’s having a very solid season after a struggle in 2024-25, really want to stick around during Utah’s endless tank? Wouldn’t the Jazz think about cashing out on his value, finally?

The Warriors lose Jimmy Butler — so how about a big offer for Lauri Markkanen?

Golden State came close to landing the Jazz star two summers ago but couldn’t get Utah to agree on the return.

They don't have the assets it would take to make Ainge blink. Should send a more budget friendly offer out for MP jr.

Like a couple firsts and whatever assets the warriors can get for Kuminga to the Nets for MP Jr. and Claxton.

I'd be getting what I could for MPJ if I was Brooklyn. His body seems like such a ticking timebomb.
