OT: The trade deadline watch thread. 02/06/25

I’d call Cleveland and ask about Mobley.

kd talks heating up but it's still golden state far as i can tell

I think that is the only team that wants him.

I like Kuminga so I'm ok with that, and they have 1st's to trade. I say do it if we can get at least 2 firsts and Kuminga

For KD?

If we passed on that, everyone should be fired. Young athletic wing with big upside and two first rounders (hopefully starting in 2028 and later once Stef/KD are dunzo) is a dream scenario for KD.

For KD?

They’d never do that.

 

[GatorAZ]

They’d never do that.

The Mavs would never trade Luka.

Your thinking on this is always so short term. Best place for him to go is GS and for the picks coming back to be down the road when they’ll be terrible in 3 years.

If it’s to Houston, we have to get a couple of our picks back.

Then it’s time to trade for Booker. There’s no point watching a 25 win Booker team versus a 15 win Booker team with 4 or 5 extra first rounders.

The Durant trade was short term thinking. We need our picks back, or we need picks from a team likely to fall apart. Anything else and we’re going to be the most hopeless team in basketball for the better part of a decade.

I’m fine with him in golden state if he burns them to the ground.

This entire fiasco has been about impatience, short term thinking and Ishbia thinking he is waaaaaay smarter than he is.

uh oh - we know kd is as healthy as kd gets - i think this means he's officially up for grabs

 

[BirdGangThing]

is anybody listed as doubtful on the warriors that isn't injured

 

[95pro]

uh oh - we know kd is as healthy as kd gets - i think this means he's officially up for grabs

Or probably gone

Looks like Nurkic for Valencunias

This is asinine. I'm assuming Phx would have to give up a pick for this, which is the epitome of throwing good money after bad.

I need that Spider-Man meme where they point at each other.

Oh yeah, he’s gone. Needs to happen, but what a fiasco. One of the all time self sabotages in league history.

I like Valanciunas, and I don't understand why he's rotting in Washington -- they signed him and knew what they were getting. If this trade goes through and the Suns somehow unload Durant in the next two days, I might start watching again.

 

[BirdGangThing]

val > nurk but they're both in the too slow category for what bud wants to do - this is just to get nurk out of here and once again it's gonna cost us

Is dallas seriously one of the teams that could be a target for KD or is that BS?

He brutalized Ayton in that first round in 22. But I feel like he’s just as bad defensively as Nurk. For sure better in the post on offense than Nurk though.

I’d be thrilled with a swap but I don’t think sending sending them picks to make it work helps our outlook at all.
