If the Sixers blow up in the first round is this is a win win deal for KD and LeBron? I’m a huge fan of JB getting his own team because I doubt it will work with Maxey and VJ…
What do you guys like about it and not like I think Anfernee and Reed off of the bench would be fun obviously Edwards and Bona as well
Guys I’m a hornets fan who wants Zion- would you all move him at this price
Curry to Disney with Paolo and Suggs and Franz over to the Warriors alongside Yaxel and Draymond.
Magic-
PG- Stephen Curry/ Brandin Podz
SG- Desmond Bane/ Tristan De Silva
SF- Anthony Black/ Noah Penda
PF- Paolo Banchero/ Jonathon Isacc
C- Wendell Carter Jr/ Nikola Vucevic
Warriors-
PG- Jalen Suggs/ LJ Cryer
SG- Will Richard/ De’Anthony Melton
SF- Franz Wagner/ Gui Santos
PF- Draymond Green/ Yaxel Lendeborg
C- Kristaps Porzingis/ Charles Bassey
Major storylines include Curry possibly having his time cut short- requesting a trade from golden state in an attempt to win another championship. James Harden wanting to retire in Houston and Cavs needing a true PG next to Mitchell in the backcourt- Mavs building fully around Cooper Flagg.
Trade 1-
Cavs- Kyrie, Spida, Tyson, Mobley, and Allen
Mavs- Vanvleet, Strus, Flagg, Morez, Gafford
Rockets- Harden, Amen, KD, Jabari, Sengun
Trade 2-
Hornets- Curry, White, Knueppel, Naz, Diabate
Warriors- White, Miller, Yaxel, Draymond, KP
Celtics- Pritchard, Hugo, PG, Tatum, Robinson
I know AD said he’s trying to play all the games and he’s happy but the Pacers move past TJ and Siakam- Wizards get Dybantsa his ideal guy to play with and KD has a crib in DC it’s just too easy that team becomes a championship level team. The Rockets pair Vanvleet with Siakam and move off of KD.
Zion to the Hornets Murphy to the Blazers and the Pelicans complete their rebuild.
Rockets and Hornets dream offseason, Dallas bench gets much better.
Kept debating 2-3 firsts alongside Naz for the rockets not to mention they also get 23.5M to spend on other positions of need as well for the KD win now window.
Winning Hornets get a starting PF and Center, move off of Grant- Mavericks gain FVV DFS and their own pick swap and Heat late first- the Rockets get PJ Grant W and 2029 1st via CLE
Best deal in a minute it’s even for both sides can even argue the Rockets would make the WCF with this move basically
Overpay or no?
Rockets:
PG- Fred Vanvleet/ Bruce Thornton
SG- Devin Booker/ Marcus Smart
SF- Amen Thompson/ Bogdan Bogdanovic
PF- Jabari Smith Jr./ Tari Eason
C- Alperen Sengun/ Steven Adams
Timberwolves:
PG- Lamelo Ball/ Bones Hyland
SG- Anthony Edwards/ Isaiah Evans
SF- Kevin Durant/ Jaylen Clark

Suns:
PG- Ayo Dosunmu/ Carson Gillespie
SG- Jalen Green/ Luke Kennard
SF- Terrance Shannon Jr/ Julian Philips
PF- Dillon Brooks/ Koa Peat
C- Rudy Gobert/ Mark Williams
Heard Jaylen Brown’s value isn’t as high as the Celtics make it to be. The Wizards get off of AD getting depth around Dybantsa. Rockets go all in around Amen KD and Sengun.
Celtics put a team around Tatum that can go head to head with the Knicks.
PG- Payton Pritchard/ Fred Vanvleet
SG- Derrick White/ Sam Hauser
SF- Jayson Tatum/ Hugo Gonzales
PF- Anthony Davis/ Jordan Walsh
C- Chris Cenac Jr/ Neemias Queta
The Wizards pickup some more overall players that can shoot the 3 ball well and they are able to gain cap space in doing so.
PG- Trae Young/ Tre Johnson
SG- Kyshawn George/ Reed Sheppard
SF- AJ Dybantsa/ Will Riley
PF- Jabari Smith Jr./ Justin Champagnie
C- Alex Sarr/ Tristan Vukcevic
The Rockets end up coming out of this deal with Jaylen Brown who reunites with his former teammate Marcus Smart. He becomes the immediate alpha creator alongside KD.
PG- Marcus Smart/ Bruce Thornton
SG- Amen Thompson/ Aaron Holiday
SF- Jaylen Brown/ Josh Okogie
PF- Kevin Durant/ Dorian Finney Smith
C- Alperen Sengun/ Steven Adams
The only thing I was wrong about was how bad DC loved AJ- Still feel Darryn was the better choice however that being said Wizards trade for KD who is AJ fav player- Rockets land Jaylen Brown resetting the window, Boston with Tatum and AD can absolutely beat OKC or Spurs in the finals.
Boston goes all in around Tatum and the Rockets get a younger FMVP and defense heavy in the Paint.
CELTICS-
PG- PAYTON PRITCHARD
SG- HUGO GONZALES
SF- JAYSON TATUM
PF- KEVIN DURANT
C- ALPEREN SENGUN
——————————————-
PG- AMEN THOMPSON
SG- DERRICK WHITE
SF- JAYLEN BROWN
PF- JABARI SMITH JR.
C- MARK WILLIAMS (FA signing)
If You Boston Would you take the risk? As Utah and Washington I’m taking this 100%… landing the DPOY AND THE FINALS MVP. AJ goes home.
CELTICS

SF- AJ Dybantsa (2nd Option)
PF- Jayson Tatum (1st Option)

PF- Jaren Jackson Jr.
C- Alexandre Sarr
Big Rumors that the nets are trying to crack the T4 for Wilson, is this enough to get the job done… Bulls win is what I see. Claxton finally gets to shine and Alverado goes home 4 years 40M. The Rockets would be good because of the new rule because they would be a play in team.
Under the new rules the Nets and Bulls want to win so This comfortably makes sense for all sides also from the Knicks perspective Tre Jones provides better production than McBride and Alverado towards a repeat next year.
Starting 5-
Nets- Egor Demin, Jose Alverado, Michael Porter Jr Caleb Wilson, Dayron Sharpe
Starting 5-
Bulls- Darius Acuff, Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Noah Clowney, Nic Claxton
Starting 5-
Knicks- Doesn’t change
KD to the Mavericks, AD to the Rockets, Wizards load up frontcourt depth, OKC gets Wendell Carter and Future 1sts, Jazz Get 1, Wizards get 2, Kings get 5, Hornets get 8, Hawks get Anderson, Morez, and Turner, Bucks build around Burries Ament and Graves, Giannis to Miami.
The Wizards get a future Guard upside along with a great wing in Franz and the Magic gain a new win now championship window, shed bad contract gain shooting with Carr and AD, OKC consolidates for the Future and Utah Jazz get AJ Dybantsa.
Magic-
PG- Jalen Suggs
SG- Anthony Black/ Cameron Carr (pick #12)
