The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

[Handlogten's Heros]

Sixers are so beyond ****ed. And they owe their pick top 4 protected the next two years (if they dont convey it), to OKC, so not even easy to tank and keep it.

They owe that for the privilege of salary dumping Al Horford lol. Presti really has been elite at extracting value in those types of deals.

The Sixers might be better off conveying this year, then tanking hard af next year and the year after (top 8 protected to Brooklyn)

I can't believe OKC is still in the phase of collecting high draft picks from multiple teams. Presti wrote the masterclass for How to Rebuild.

In addition to the Philly pick they likely have the Heat pick unprotected next year. Clips in 2027.. and several swaps with their own picks. They really stacked the ledger. They have infinity second rounders as well which is why you stare at the Bulls like wyd walking away from the Caruso deal without one second rounder... like they can't likely find good uses for most of them just dig in the tiniest bit lol.

I see that your powers of self-protection left out the pick that the Jazz owe them. (Which will either convey or continue to put a stranglehold on the directions the jazz can go).

Where does KD land this offseason? That may start up a wave of transactions and I’m really curious what teams make a move and what direction Phoenix goes.

I think we likely tank our way to keeping that pick but yeah… that one too lol.

Houston or Dallas

Houston or Dallas

Dallas would make sense. Houston does too and would likely have the most appealing package. Not sure if KD is older than they would prefer. They seem to want Book more.

So Dallas sends like the Lakers pick a 2032 pick and Lively with contracts?

I could see Miami getting into it but the package may be pretty meh. An OKC reunion would be hilarious.

Actually, I think KD might go to the Wolves. McDaniels/Reid (on a S&T)/First rounder? That would give the Suns a win now package so they can continue to try and win around Booker. No idea if that would work given S&T rules.

Would be a great trade for Utah IMO. It would make the eventual Wolves crash happen a bit faster and it would extend the current Suns run so their crash happens closer to the 2031 pick being owed.

Suns can’t accept a player in a sign and trade. They over all the aprons.
