2024 NBA Trade Deadline Day discussion

[FultzNationRISE]

Wow Knicks are stacking up a deep team. After years of swinging and striking out for a big star, they finally realized depth matters more.

Yeah, I still think a finals run is a long shot, but they are definitely gonna be the team nobody wants to play along the way. Conference finals is not unrealistic.

Is Agbaji any good? Because unless they were really targeting him it makes no sense to me why Toronto would trade for a vet like Olynyk after they just moved OG and Siakam out of town. And even giving up a first round pick in the deal to boot.

Is Ujiri developing dementia or what?

Great athlete, high energy defender. His shot has been streaky but looked good after the deadline last year when he got big minutes.

[FultzNationRISE]

well since Gobert was trying to guard 5 guys because Bojan, Mitchell, The Bum etc. were guarding no one yeah

Oh ok. So when Gobert doesnt succeed it's on his teammates, but when other stars dont succeed it's on them.

Just wanted to clarify.

The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to acquire Dennis Schroder and Thaddeus Young from the Toronto Raptors for Spencer Dinwiddie.

This trade made no sense to me. A contender should be going after Schroder.

The Charlotte Hornets are finalizing a trade to send F PJ Washington to the Dallas Mavericks for Grant Williams, Seth Curry and a first-round draft pick, sources tell ESPN.

I’m hearing mavs also landed Gafford? Him and PJ are quite an upgrade. Lively and Gafford should make a hell of a defensive tag team at center

Dennis has another year on his contract. Nets want him for next year apparently. Raptors get expiring contracts

[Xiao Yao You]

Something to keep in mind: the Mavericks owe their 2029 first-round pick to the Nets. Why does that matter? Because it means the top-2 protected pick Dallas is sending Charlotte in 2027 can't roll over from one year to the next. Basically, what that means is that if the Mavericks pick first or second in 2027, the Hornets don't get a first-round pick. The Lakers used a similar maneuver with the Jazz last season in the Russell Westbrook trade, only that pick was top-four protected.

we'll see. Why would Thibs play Bojan when he wouldn't play Fournier? If you don't defend you don't play

That's what I worry about. Thibs turned Fournier from a 20ppg player to a footnote lucky to see 5 minutes of floor time a month.

If Bojan who is much, much better can't see minutes, the Knicks need to fire Thibs to get anywhere. That's a hell of a deal for them.

Hayward to the Thunder is great
Hield to the Sixers is great
Bojan to the Knicks is great
Gafford to the Mavs is great

A lot of nice moves

which is why The Bum to NY never made sense. Fournier is a lot better player. Hard to imagine Thibs hopping on The Bum bandwagon. I'd say Fournier is better than Bojan too. Bojan can score and shoot. Little else

Fournier doesn't do anything else and is far streakier. Not much of a clutch player either which Bojan can be

Brooklyn is finalizing a trade sending Royce O’Neale to Phoenix for salaries and three second-round picks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. pic.twitter.com/sSSXacDYVz

great pickup for the Suns

[Proctor]

Damn, didn't realize Mavs tossed away Grant Williams already.

Royce to the Suns is good for them. Keep McConnell or any other PG away!

They’re both scrubs really. Scroter has been terrible this season
