2024 NBA Off-Season Thread (FA, Trades, Extensions, Rumors)

[BacktoBasics]

The Knicks will send Bojan Bogdanovic, four unprotected first-round picks (2025, 2027, 2029, 2031), a 2025 protected first-rounder via the Milwaukee Bucks, a 2028 unprotected pick swap and a 2025 second-rounder to the Nets, sources said.

Jeez… how are the Spurs supposed to land a big fish via trade when a player like Mikal Brodges is going for 5 firsts? Insanity.

[SpursDynasty85]

But how are those Suns picks better than the Nets picks? Makes no sense.

It fits the timeline for the Rockets. They have too many young guys and will need to start paying them starting around 2026&2027. They then load up on what is presumably good draft picks because Beal and KD will be near retirement and Booker is all that’s left. They will likely miss the playoffs.

That would be something. Houston could send a very nice package for players and picks for Book. Smith, Eason, Green, picks…

Yep. Looks like it

[td4mvp2k]

Durant to Houston make it happen

[CGD]

Bridges to Knicks. Wonder if they let Anonoby walk.

I think they’ll look to offload Randall before they do that.

[SpursFan86]

Woj tweeted they’re still determined to keep OG. Hartenstein is probably gone, though.

[Mr. Body]

Word seems to be they'll resign Anunoby and try to move Randle, yeah.

I view Bridges as closer to OG than Randle but maybe they view Randle as the weaker point. Big gamble if OG can’t stay healthy. Not that Randle is much better.

Another thing to consider why this makes sense for Houston is that the are already loaded with young talent and are in a position where continuing to add highly drafted rookies doesn't really fit the timeline and what they want to do now. This pushes that timeline out, which makes a lot of sense for them.

For that same reason, it makes sense that Houston would be interested in moving out of 3. Maybe that gets involved in a bigger deal here.

Here is a REAL crazy idea... but MEM is supposedly interested in Clingan. How about a package for #3, some other picks, and maybe some of their young players for Ja? Maybe he has worn out his welcome in Memphis. If you clear out Jalen Green, Ja might be a good fit.

[BacktoBasics]

Brunson and Bridges is a good fit in my opinion.

[Chinook]

Bring on the chaos. I think Wright will shine in this kind of environment with this many assets to work with.

I'm skeptical. Like do I think the Spurs could get a couple of firsts for Devin Vassell in this environment? Maybe. But it's like selling your house in Austin during the height of the bubble. Sure, you got a huge payout, but since every other home costs a million dollars, it's not like you've actually made any money.

This isn't a buyer's market. It's lucky for the Spurs they got some legit value in the seller's market of 2022, but I hope they aren't trying to make a trade for an established player on a long-term contract right now.

Ja is a move I had in the back of my mind.

I wonder if they've played together before.

[djohn2oo8]

[lrrr]

There are a few players on the Nets roster we should look at.

Ben Simmons
Whooooooooooooooo

You SOB

Randle is a ballsticker and a malcontent. I think they'd be trying to get rid of him even before this trade. Not sure who would want him.

[scott]

Wild that we've have some significant trades ahead of the draft, none of them involving any assets from this draft.

[gilmor2002]

Brunson and Bridges is a good fit in my opinion.

I also think the same; but I got a feeling Knicks still can't beat the Pacers; let alone the Celtics

[Mr. Body]

Celtics will get beat by a healthy team next year. They had a very easy run this year.

[R. DeMurre]

I read the Knicks were interested in Goga Bitadze-- landing him means saving money & trading one of Robinson or Hartenstein (which would be a sign and trade)

Bridges and OG as forwards are a tad undersized, unless they plan on going big w/ Mikal at SG and OG at SF... interesting developments, but it seems some consolidation trade must be in the works, and Randle feels like the obvious trade piece.

[BacktoBasics]

Knicks made a solid run with half the team injured

I didn't mean that Wright should be selling off the few non-Wemby assets the Spurs have for even more picks. Perhaps I am guilty of assuming that since he has made good trades in the past to stockpile future assets at the expense of making the team worse in the short term, that he would be equally adept at spending the assets wisely to help the team be better next season and in the near future.

Keith Smith has a lot of good info about the Knicks cap situation after this deal on his twitter feed: https://x.com/KeithSmithNBA

He seems very confident the Knicks cap management team will find a way to avoid being hard capped so they can resign OG.
