2026 NBA Trade Discussion Thread

I don’t think we are in on giannas but they will trade turner too if they can. And probably portis. Any interest in turner?

If Walker's bridge has been burned, then yes.

Adams/Eason for Love OR Anderson gets them out of the tax this year and saves them some future salary. Adams has 2/25M left on his deal. When he's on the court he is still really impactful. Not sure he can stay on the court though. Would nuke a good chunk of our cap space but Eason might be our FA target anyway.

Both guys have injury issues that would concern me, but it was an interesting thought.

If San Antonio gets yet another top 4 pick to use to complete a Giannis trade, I'm going to be pissed.

Giannis to SAS might not be the worst outcome cuz as things stand they are set to contend for the next 10 years anyways. Getting giannis would shrink their window significantly.

I have seen talk that the Knicks may have to Break OG Anunoby down for draft assets to convey to the Bucks. Any interest there from us?

Where do we all think Giannis will end up? My guess is Miami.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I think Giannis isn't traded til draft day

My guess on where Giannis goes is Toronto. They are the right combination of good, but not too good. They have assets and salary matching, but mostly history likes to repeat itself and it feels a little like the Kawhi situation.

They’re gonna trade him to LA and then win the lotto

CMB + Scottie is enough for Giannis, but IDK, it's a weird fit.

Every trade proposal that isn't OKC or SAS just makes me think... But why though?

Even if they win the lotto they can't get the first pick

Depends on if they put CMB and if Milwaukee will take back the Poeltl deal imo. I do think they have the best potential package right now.

I think GS could win if they put up all the picks and swaps and take back Kuzma... but I think Milwaukee could do better in the offseason from the Knicks or Miami. If they move him at the deadline its because they are just so ready to move on that they settle a little or because Toronto came strong.

Uhh, the Spurs have the best possible package, it's Steph Castle and Dylan Harper and they can flip Castle elsewhere for more picks. I'm just scratching my head at the discourse right now. The Golden State offer is abysmal *******. Kuminga+Butler+the next three years of picks and swaps is basically net neutral because Kuminga and Butler have strongly negative value. You're basically gambling everything on the Warriors with no incentive to tank being horrendous from 2029 to 2033.

Teams that can make a good Giannis offer

-OKC
-SAS
-HOU
-ORL
-ATL

Teams that cannot: Everyone else

Barnes and CMB for Giannis is like... Fine I guess but that leaves Toronto nowhere.
