NBA Trade Rumors: Kevin Durant BACK TO Warriors? Jimmy Butler-Bucks, Nuggets options | Hoops Tonight
Jason Timpf shares his thoughts on some of the NBA’s biggest trade rumors as the NBA trade deadline approaches. Jason discusses whether Jimmy Butler or Zach LaVine would be a good fit with Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and the Milwaukee Bucks as they look to contend with the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers atop the Eastern Conference. Later, Jason breaks down why Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets do not need to trade for a star player, but instead should build their bench depth. Lastly, Jason discusses why Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and the Golden State Warriors should make a move to bring Kevin Durant back to Golden State from the Phoenix Suns and vault the Warriors into top tier championship contention.

Bucks beat the Magic tonight by 29 and attempted only 12 threes. In this era of NBA, that is absurd.
Steph is a Champion, and competing for anything less than a Championship obviously just sucks the life out of soul!! If the Bay Area is really grateful for everything Steph did then they would want him to retire where he has a legitimate chance at winning another championship or two!
Mailbag: Jason do you do any sports betting? What’s your opinion on it?
Homie is trippin about KD back to the warriors. And you wanna keep Draymond at all costs?? 😂😂
Jamal, Russ, MPJ, AG, Jokic
That lineup is filthy. I barely miss KCP if they go with that lineup
Let’s be honest, the heat no long give a shit who jimmy wants to play for. And for what it’s worth I think Jimmy would be much more willing to play for just about any other team to get out of Miami.
Nuggets need a goddamn backup 5. Fuck having Aaron Gordon do it. He already does enough.
The Nuggets were getting calls about Zeke back in the day. It was clear then that he wasn’t working. Just astounded they didn’t get off that contract
mark williams is not getting traded at just 23 yrs old
I got super nervous when the pod started that Timpf might not have a chance to trade Kuminga. It would have messed up his streak of 409 straight pods of trading him. Thankfully, gratefully, he got around to it.
Are you joking, Jason? You want the Warriors to trade Wiggins, Kuminga, GPII and Hield???? What happens when the Warriors don't win a championship and now have three old guys getting older? Also: I thought you always say that speed and length on the perimeter is the new crucial asset for any team. You just traded away Kuminga and Wiggins, and just in case they thought they were going to play defense, you're also sending out GPII. Makes no sense
KD would cost a lot to get lol.. Jimmy and Lavine would not.. Lavine would be 0 picks Jimmy would be 1 at most depends what contracts you want to offload of course.. And finally the Nets getting two firsts for Cam and you think Kessler would only get 1 first is ridiculous.. Why would Utah give up a good young player for 1 first round pick whats the chances you getting a player as good as Kessler with that pick? its more likely they will be worse..
i don’t think jimmy would wanna live in Milwaukee lol
Take the hit bench Murray . He is over paid a drain on the team. after the season trade for 2 horrible contracts
Mailbag: How come teams in the NBA overlook G-League players and even European/Overseas players? Example: Jay Huff was in the G-League for years and never got an opportunity, but now he’s a decent backup center. So why don’t teams look outside current rosters for backup bigs?
Exclaimer, I know they will have certain flaws, but they are a backup for a reason.
Fantasy mailbag question:
If you're the warriors are you doing a similar deal for Beal? Maybe in that scenario you keep Kuminga and add Kyle.
Russ is exposing Jabum27 in front of the hole world 🌎 do you agree, fanboys?!
Who is the biggest Jokić merchant ever? 🤣😅😭
Who knows the answer?
I really doubt Denver gonna be able to unload Saric for a Backup center. He was supposed to be the backup lol. DJ has been surprisingly serviceable. You're right though. Denver is ok I think
used to not like this guy, now i do. the reason: this guy is always on the glass half full perspective. everybody is always negative
UR TELLING ME THAT DRAFT KINGS, THE BETTING SITE MAKES IT EASY FOR ME TO GIVE THEM ALL MY MONEY??? HOLY SHIT I WAS SO WORRIED IT WOULD BE HARD TO SPORTS BET AND THROW ALL MY MONEY AWAY ON PARLAYS. THANK YOU JASON THANK YOU FOR HELPING FUEL MY GAMBLING ADDICTION, I CANT WAIT TO HIT MY NEXT 10 LEG PARLAY THANK GOD ITS GONNA BE SO EASY.
Stop with the copping. Warriors ain’t getting KD
I did not know that the Bucks had many draft picks to trade?
