The trade deadline thread.2026

[Yuma]

Just throwing it out there, what young PF would be a value trade for Green? Whenever Green gets healthy, that's a penciled in 20-25 points a night solid second scorer next to Booker.

 

[Sparky16]

Neither is Green. Not saying he won't improve the team when he's healthy, but the team is where it is without him. If a deal for a serious, young PF presented itself you'd have to think about it.

Doubt anything will happen other than Richards for some cap relief, and I am completely fine with that, team has blown away my expectations.

This - Green has absolutely ZERO to do with this teams success this year. If a PF is out there then he needs to go. The rebounding was pathetic yesterday. Throw in Oneal who is useless if he is not hitting 3's

 

[Yuma]

Playing Portland. They would never do it, but here's a PF to look at:

Deni Avdija's 2025-2026 salary with the Portland Trail Blazers is $14,375,000. He is under a 4-year, $55 million rookie extension that is front-loaded, meaning his pay decreases over time to $13.1 million in 2026-27 and $11.9 million in 2027-28.

Key Details of Avdija's Contract:

• 2025-26 Salary: $14,375,000
• Contract Structure: Front-loaded, 4-year extension ($55 million total)
• Descending Pay: $15.6M (24-25), $14.4M (25-26), $13.1M (26-27), $11.9M (27-28)
• Value:
  Considered one of the most team-friendly contracts in the NBA, as he is paid below the market value for his performance level

It’ll usually take 30 games or so for separation to emerge in each NBA conference, and by the trade deadline, we have a good idea of the different ties within them.

The Phoenix Suns aren't expected to do much before the 2026 NBA trade deadline but their Western Conference could change plenty.

Wow seeing this list is really showing how much the game has changed. Very clearly long rebounds have reduced the impact of power forwards dramatically. I had no idea 6 rebounds a game made you a good rebounder in todays game.

still no ja or giannis

alrighty then - it's popping back up

That could be a tough trade.

James Harden is the most useless “superstar” in the association.

 

[Hoop Head]

Holding out hope we can work our way into a Giannis deal that lands us Portis. He's exactly what we need as a bench 4/5 right now.

 

[Phrazbit]

That could be a tough trade.

xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

In a generation of highly talented but gutless, low effort, choking, toxic superstars, who bail at the first sign of adversity... Harden is probably the most of all those things.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

most boring trade week ever - we're good but i thought others could be making some big moves - i thought brooklyn would be in the giannis hunt - i thought ja would be fun to pair with trae - looks like the lukas are riding with ayton lol

Clippers' head coach Tyronn Lue spoke to the media as the Clippers lost to the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, and he revealed that Harden was actually currently in Phoenix.

Then maybe next year we can get Westbrook?

Strap in for a piece of information you surely did not expect to hear today, Marc Stein and Jake Fischer have mentioned that the Suns of all teams would actually be the perfect trade partner for want away Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Suns surprisingly named as ideal trade partner for Giannis

The Suns have the perfect trade package to land Giannis Antetokounmpo, but they're not going to give up Dillon Brooks and company now.

WTF

Danny Ainge is Aingeing right now. Doesn't help that the Memphis Organization is full of psychotics. This stinks of the org trying to appease Ja, which makes no sense.

James Harden is the most useless “superstar” in the association.

Yet still the best player all time out of the state of Arizona!
