AD to the Warriors. Kuminga and picks to Dallas. Draymond to a 3rd team for expirings. Detroit could use a 4 and has a ton of expirings, including 2 more they just acquired.

No interest in Kuminga either, but I will take the picks and expiriings.

[Smitty]

Based on how eager everyone here is to attach AD to any other news happening around the league leads me to believe the entire fanbase wants him gone asap.

Atlanta traded Krejci.  Must be making room for AD.

Draymond on the trade block.  Oh I wonder if it's for AD.

It's trade season. Part of it.

[Tyler]

Kuminga has a team option for next year. So he's also a potential expiring if you want.

[omahen]

More and more signals that Minny might win the battle for Giannis. Yay, another top player coming to West...

If it happens, it will likely lead to plenty more moves (Randle, McDaniels,...). Unless Milwaukee decides to try to be average with Turner, Randle, McDaniels core.

[DallasMaverick]

My point was, if we keep AD, and he can manage to stay somewhat healthy with Kyrie, we will probably be about .500, but not building at all towards the future without the 2027 pick.

So you’re saying that Kyrie is a net neutral, since the team with AD is also a .500 team?

Team with AD is not a .500 team...

Yeah, I just expect that he will cost more than a typical expiring.  My preference would be to flip him if possible.

[DallasMaverick]

9-9 seems like it’s.500. 

Or is my math wrong?

[omahen]

I didn't realize Mavs played only 18 games this season...

[cow]

I'd take Draymond in Dallas if it can get us more draft compensation. /runs

[DallasMaverick]

I didn't realize Mavs played only 18 games this season...

Yeah, only 18 with AD.

Unless you want to give him credit for the wins and losses when he’s on the bench.

[mvossman]

You absolutely give him credit for losses when he is on the bench.  That's the problem, he is always on the bench.  Saying the team is 500 with AD is not accurate.  You can say they are 500 when he plays, but those are two very different things.

Chicago traded Vucevic to Boston for Simons. Another guard

Chicago now has 6 PGs on the roster. Will we see first all PG lineup in the remainder of the season?

@BrettSiegelNBA
All of a sudden, the Grizzlies have emerged as a potential suitor for Raptors center Jakob Poeltl as Toronto continues to pursue Kings star Domanats Sabonis, league sources told @ClutchPoints.

Memphis just created a TPE from this Jackson trade they can use for Poeltl.

The assumption is they would be also able to get picks by being the needed facilitator, right? It feels like they are working to amass a huge supply of picks for the future -- but they sure look like they will be a crappy team for years, too.

They need to trade for a center right?  That 9 and 10 spot are there for the taking

Amazing the Kings have a center too.....those teams just love trading with each other.

At least White will be moved this TDL, imho. They will want to move Conley too, but he doesn't have any value, imho (other than potential salary if the deal with Minny/Detroit is not finalized yet).

[RoyTarpleysGhost]

DallasMaverick is a troll. Dont fall for it. (I admit he is funny sometimes)

[Charania] BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are trading center Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick to the Boston Celtics for Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

[omahen]

Looks like Houston will trade for White. My guess either DFS or Adams will be the outgoing salary with some draft capital.

[Chicagojk]

I think Vooch is a nice low cost gamble.   I sort of like Simons too but he probably wasn't a priority moving forward.  Pritchard does what he does but better.    They like bigger guards mostly.   

Vooch isn't what he was but I think he would fit well on a good, smart team.  Maybe not 30 plus minutes but a nice veteran getting a little older.    Not nearly the upside of someone like KP at his peak, but probably more reliable.

One less Gafford suitor.
