Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST

37 years old KD went for Green, Brooks, #10, four 2nds..this is better than any Hawks package that includes Trae without the Pels first, and I think it's safe to assume that AD is more valuable than KD considering age (37 vs 32) and contract lenght (1 vs 1.5)

Jalen Green + Dillon Brooks ---> Trae Young
#10 + 4 2nds ---> 2026 Pels 1st

Hawks package is a bit more valuable than Houston's, but so is AD compared to KD. And I get that Trae's value isn't as negative as Jalen (Brooks makes up the difference value-wise tho), but still no team is interested in giving up value for Young and Atlanta is adamant in moving him to match AD salary cause they want financial flexibility. They can't have the cake and eat it.

I have seen Durant and Butler used as comps for AD trade.  Durant signed a 2 for 90 extension and Butler a 2 for 110 extension.  Do you have any interest in signing AD to that extension?  Does any team?  I would rather trade him for air.  I'm skeptical his market is going to be any better in the offseason.  That extension is going to play more of a role because he will be eligible for it, and the East is currently uniquely wide open presenting some significant desperation opportunities.  Not to mention the possibility that he can tank his value further with more injuries or declining play.  I really hope they can pry a decent offer from somebody soon.
