2026 NBA Trade Discussion Thread

We would be losing a "vet" and not gaining any vets in that trade

I get that. I'm just saying we wouldn't play Kuminga over Nurk, Svi, etc.... Like we already do for Hendricks, Cody, etc...

Reaves
Keyonte
AJ
Lauri
Kessler
Ace

That’s an insane top-6 and a playoff team next year.

I doubt they could afford to pay all of them esp since Kessler will be a RFA and Keyonte extension eligible.

Exactly.

That's why you trade Lauri in 22-23 the second you decide to choose the tanking path.

They can afford it for at least a year. If everyone’s good then you can probably net some stuff trading pieces off.

I personally am weary of our defensive woes so Reeves doesn’t appeal to me much right now (unless they somehow turn Key into Anthony Black or something).

Garza is playing really well for BOS. So maybe Nurk isn’t a real option for them. I’m not actually sure of any other good destinations for him. LAL? GSW?
