Trade Deadline: February 6, 2025

I am so tired of KD and his whiney bitch ass but he can get away with it since he is a Top 5 to 10 player .

You won't have to worry about it much longer.

Honestly if I'm OKC I'd rather not have a 36 year old ball hogging poor defensive Durant.

They might legit win the title just as they are today.

Looks like Nurkic to Washington for Valanciunas is close to happening.

I'm not as down on most players as you are and that includes KD but yeah I wouldn't fuck with the chemistry if I was OKC.

He's certainly not top5 today, I'd argue not top10 either.

He hasn't won shit since a 73 win team took him to the finals.

Durant is not a ball hog. He usually takes high percentage shots at this point in his career.

Nurk's ego is gonna be so bruised I wouldn't be surprised if he threatened retiring. Only kidding, but nobody really seems to want him and he seems fragile. Like the arrogance and swagger are just fronts.

 

[Natebishop3]

I love this guy so much. He's usually a football guy but he's so damn funny.

 

[inconceivable]

The Blazers are a Cooper Flagg away from becoming a perennial playoff team that can contend

Tank the rest of the way, get lucky.

Scoot
Sharpe
Flagg
Avdija
Camara
Ayton
Clingan

Get value for Grant / Ant / Timelord / Thybulle, use assets to round the roster

I'm delusional

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I'm having a hard time thinking that Kuzma's lack of passion & drive to win is going to work with Dame and Giannis.

 

[B-Roy]

I can see why they went this route instead of Grant. Got under the luxury tax by 1.3 million...

Also dumped their most recent 1st round pick. Terrible GM-ing in Milwaukee.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Durant is not a ball hog. He usually takes high percentage shots at this point in his career.

Every time I watch him I think "this guy could easily score 70 if he was more selfish." His jumpshot is pretty much unguardable (well, except for when JERAMI BLOCKED IT) and he never seems to miss. He's basically too nice.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

They saw AJ Johnson in practice etc ever day. It's possible that they dont think he's got much potential to be a future stud.

Whenever a fan base is feeling down, they should just say to themselves "hey, we could be Wizards fans" and that should cheer 'em up immediately. I mean, at least Dallas HAD Doncic for a few years. Legit question: what would be the Wizards' all-time starting five?

 

[Pinwheel1]

I'm having a hard time thinking that Kuzma's lack of passion & drive to win is going to work with Dame and Giannis.

He played hard when he was a Laker. My guess is playing on tanking teams can zap a lot of passion out of players, especially vets. It takes a toll after a while.
That being said.....I never liked the guy.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Nice way to reward franchise cornerstone Middleton. A sign that the Bucks are unraveling.

Dame trade has to be an A+ at this point, I’m sorry. The popcorn will be popping in PDX

Earl Monroe, Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld come to mind. But then, they were several generations ago......but it would be a travesty to forget any one of them.

Gheorge Muresan would like to have a chat with you.













Nevermind, you always take me seriously.

I would love to have a chat with Gheorge Muresan. We could recreate "My Giant".

Trying to understand the pick swap Milwaukee just traded to Washington for Kuzma.

Don't we already have that pick swap from the Dame trade?

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wes Unseld
Elvin Hayes
Gus Johnson
John Wall
Bradley Beal

First three are back in the distant past and last two are just depressing.

Guys who played for them when they were the Bullets are not much comfort to the majority of their fans now.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

Meaning all 5 are just depressing.

Yeah, it's a worthless swap, essentially. First we get to swap, and THEN Washington gets to swap. So Washington gets the 2nd best of PDX/Mil/Was 1st rounder. We get best, Mil gets the worst.

Thanks.

I'm trying to see if we can gauge value for Grant by seeing the Kuzma return.

So it was an expiring, AJ Johnson, and a fake first. Kuzma has a much better contract tho.

Would we have taken this return for JG?

 

[1 Eye Jack]

Hate rooting against a team but I want that Bucks pick to be gold! Hoping Giannis ask for trade as early as next year when they find Kuzma isn’t going to put them over the top
