So why do the Nets trade for Royce Oneal for a 1st with all this headache going on?

The 1st they traded will likely be Philadelphia’s pick. It is the worst of the picks they have for next year.

[lefty20]

Haliburton is prolly good enough to take them to 30 wins imo.

Yeah, but multiple sources have confirmed that Hali is due to come down with a mysterious ailment come February/March. It is rumored to be the same thing knocked out a few Blazers in the 2nd half last year.

Should be enough time for the Pacers to get a decent record if the schedule goes the right way, but we'll see. Portland's second half tank last year will be pretty hard to top imo.

[mystargtr34]

Crapshooting some more since I got noting better to do.

Suns
Durant
Myles Turner

Pacers
FRP (2023 Suns)
SRP (2023 Nets)

Nets
Bogdanovic
Bridges
Crowder
3 FRP (2025 Suns, 2027 Suns, 2025 Jazz via Wolves)
3 FRP Pick Swaps (2024 Suns, 2026 Suns, 2026 Jazz)

Jazz
Ayton

Works on the trade machine

Suns should prolly try to keep Bridges imo.

I still can’t believe the league allowed OK to basically not play a good player almost all year just to tank i think it was Al Horton?

[mystargtr34]

Agree but if your getting Durant I think you can live with giving him up and find your 3-D wing elsewhere by trading Cam Johnson.

Nets would want more than just Bogdanovic and Crowder imo.

Maybe the Nets are willing to remove Bridges if the Suns throw in their 2029 FRP instead .

So what we getting?

Westbrook and you'll like it.

Turner only has 1 year left on his contract, but a contender will still give up a FRP.

Suns should be interested after the Durant sweepstakes. Maybe they are trying to involve the Pacers in the Ayton-Durant talks.

Another reason that limits Poeltl's value: limited demand, cheap alternatives. If we try to trade him, no one will be willing to give up much (20-ish first rounder tops, IMO). If we keep him or extend him, whatever value we gain he'll cost us in draft stock (more wins). So it's not an ideal situation. But if we get a decent first rounder, I say deal him.

3-D wings are hard to come by tbh, would make more sense to give up another pick instead.

The Spurs could get involved in that trade above as the 5th team and take on Joe Harris 2/$39m in remaining salary on behalf of Brooklyn and take one of the Suns or Jazz FRP's instead of it going to Brooklyn.

Or they could take on Buddy Hield's remaining 2/$39m and take the Suns FRP + Nets SRP that would otherwise have gone to Indiana.

Plenty of ways the Spurs can get involved in any trade.

Jalen Smith probably got the same deal as Eubanks lol wtf.

[Dverde]

At least we aren’t the T-Wolves. That team is run by idiots.

Gordon Hayward, Davis Bertans, Duncan Robinson, Porzingis, Dario Saric, Julius Randle/Fournier are still out there.

[Ocotillo]

Should of kept Milutonov’s rights if we are tanking.
