2026 NBA Trade Discussion Thread

Rockets need shooting and Svi and Brice bring at least a little ball handling. Also Svi is super cheap for multiple seasons and if they want to retain Brice I'm guessing he can be extended at a cost that fits their cap sheet.

Jazz get the chance to evaluate Eason's fit with the team and real health situation before making the decision on an extension. Then Jazz have the inside track on keeping Eason as a RFA.

I wonder if the Rockets are desperate enough to do something like this.

I think they'd do better elsewhere with Eason. I do think they will kick the tires on what he'd get as their tax situation gets really tricky soon.

Why the hell would we ever trade Svi???

If the Jazz move on from Walker, Okongwu would be the guy I would want most. I think Hardy would level him up.

Big O is a good value contract. I was a really big Stan of his, but the defense hasn’t been as good as I had hoped. Would be a good offensive fit with Hardy, but I fear we need true elite defensive centers who can carry the defense.

I've never been year impressed when I watch him. He seems like a good backup big, but not someone I would want starting for my team.

If Kessler isn't the guy, the player I'd expect the Jazz to try to pursue is Hartenstein. Very good fit, basically a young nurk.

The Jazz have a brighter future than the Warriors at this point.

Keyonte + Walker + young talent >> 37 y.o. Steph + 36 y.o. Draymond + ?? Moses Moody and Quinten Post

The Warriors' ride ended a few years ago. They're just reluctant to admit it.

The Warriors screwed themselves by being reluctant to trade their young guys to try and win now. And then none of those young guys ended up being good.

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.

NY reportedly shopping KAT.

KAT to Orlando for Suggs, Carter, and Jones works $ wise.

Black - Bane - Wagner - Paolo - KAT

Would you trade Key to Atlanta for their NOP/Milwaukee pick (likely to have top-4 odds)?

Sorry, are we talking about Walker?
