2024-2025 Around the NBA Thread

Kinda the same as we have in Oso being a small center.

And in Suns fashion he'd play Center here as well. Collins is a PF and is best there. He's played a bit more C in Utah but he's not a good enough rebounder to be a regular small ball C.

He may be better than Oso, but we need a shot blocker.

FWIW, the Raptors are waiving center Bruno Fernando.

The Sacramento Kings are waiving center Orlando Robinson, sources tell ESPN. Veteran forwards Jae Crowder and Doug McDermott will have their contracts guaranteed for the remainder of the season. This move also opens up a roster spot for the Kings.

Dude always has a reason not to play.

So 2 years after I first started suggesting it the Warriors might actually trade for Vucevic? Apparently last year they had a deal that was Moody and a first rounder for Alex Caruso but the Warriors didn't want to do it. Now they're apparently offering Moody for Vucevic, the Bulls still want the first rounder

After watching the Cavs/OKC game a bit, as well as the OKC/Bos game from earlier in the week, it's clear the Suns are not even in the same stratosphere. The chemistry on offense and togetherness on defense from these elite teams are a joy to watch.

Hey 30 year old basketball star (been a star for 25+ years), I know your house is burning and all, but you have to come practice your jump shot on your bum knee.

Nikola Vucevic, Robert Williams, Jonas Valanciunas, Nick Richards, and Day’Ron Sharpe are currently viewed as the most likely centers to be moved by the trade deadline.Multiple second-round picks is the buzz around probable base compensation alongside necessary salary-matching.

I would trade Nurkic, 1 or 2 2nd rounders for Richards, Grant Williams.

The Bucks are actively attempting to find a team willing to take on Pat Connaughton’s contract in a salary dump trade to get under the second apron.Milwaukee is $6.5 million over the second apron, so if they dip below it they could gain access to aggregating salaries together.

Zion Williamson has been suspended for a game due to a violation of team policy.
