Mike brown low key got fired for NOT playing Keon Ellis lmao. No way he goes to the knicks
Bruh, Tucker, did you forget (or just not know) that the Cavs are on a hot streak with five of their last six being wins and are 8-4 in January? They’re one game behind the Knicks for 4th in the east as of right now. 3.5 back of Boston for the 2 seed. Acting like now is the time to punt the season is just an awful take.
Granted, trading Hunter for depth pieces is potentially an upgrade but that’s not remotely how you presented it.
No way Lakers trade Thiero for Hunter. He has way too much upside
I'm a Bulls fan from chicago and I can confirm we don't need a dude that's about 5 years away from cashing social security checks on this roster. Conley should be off the table for Bulls nation
Stay off the weed my brother no way Lakers are giving up a young talent like Adou Thiero for a barely needle mover in hunter. Adou has higher upside
if boston is willing to move Pritchard over hauser does that move the needle for memphis to have someone if they moved Ja
Not it’s not your just desperate for content
What about Nic Claxton to Boston?
0:05 Ah. So it’s not heating up.
Tf its not moron, nothing has happened 😂😂😂😂
You're saying you're not sure if the wolves would wanna do that trade, yet chicago doesn't improve AT ALL with the trade you stated lol! They get worse. No picks or higher upside players. I'd keep Coby of I were them..
That Bulls trade just doesnt make any sense for them. Why would you trade away coby for a project that might become coby eventually? Plus their guard rotation is already pretty deep so I cant see dillingham getting enough minutes without more trades to open the space up.
why don’t the celtics should go get AD left him rest till tatum comes back
Jose alvarado to houston makes a lot of sense
Boston has a 22.5M TPE they could bundle with a minimum contract, one 1RP and two 2RPs. Could they get someone decent with this, whilst keeping their entire rotation intact?
Really can’t afford to lose any of the guards/wings in the rotation lol.
Homie said Bey, Smith and Holiday to the lakers 😂😂😂
Bulls aren’t trading coby for a guy they hope is coby in 3 years 😂
If bulls move Coby it will follow their last moves. A young guy with experience in a position of need. I would guess SF/PF/C. Not trading for another guard.
No trade in the last two weeks. The deadline has really heated up.
tucker looks like an adorable chinese baby
And nothing happens still….
Lakers Say hell NAH!!! we don;t was DFS back. Cough up a center and thats a no to Hunter. Rui is the better player. not giving up the rook and expirings to take on salary and not getting a big
Bridges and OG to Milwaukee for The Antetokounmpos
KD is doing the opposite of complaining
That rockets trade was a terrible take

IVICA ZUBAC (Center) FROM LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS TO OKLAHOMA THUNDER or DETROIT PISTONS or DENVER NUGGETS or UTAH JAZZ or HOUSTON ROCKETS or ORLANDO MAGIC or BOSTON CELTICS or PHILADELPHIA 76ERS.
KARL ANTHONY TOWNS FROM NEW YORK KNICKS TO LOS ANGELES LAKERS
LEBRON JAMES FROM LOS ANGELES LAKERS TO NEW YORK KNICKS
DOMANTAS SABONIS FROM SACRAMENTO KINGS TO CHICAGO BULLS
DEANDRE AYTON FROM LOS ANGELES LAKERS TO SACRAMENTO KINGS
GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO (FORWARD/CENTER) FROM MILWAUKEE BUCKS TO NEW YORK KNICKS or BOSTON CELTICS or MIAMI HEAT or LOS ANGELES LAKERS.
A possible trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo from Milwaukee Bucks to Boston Celtics might push thru due to the long unavailability of Jayson Tatum due to injury. A dominant Power Forward/Center like Giannis Antetokounmpo is greatly needed by Boston Celtics to cover the loss of Jayson Tatum.
A possible trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo from Milwaukee Bucks to Miami Heat might push thru if Bam Adebayo might move forward to another team like Golden State Warriors.
A possible trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo to New York Knicks as additional firepower for the Power Forward/Center Position. He can partner with another tower Karl-Anthony Towns
Another option is Giannis Antetokounmpo might be traded to Los Angeles Lakers to play as the Power Forward. In this case, Power Forward Rui Hachimura might be traded somewhere else since he will be replaced by Giannis Antetokounmpo.
On the other hand, Victor Wembanyama must be acquired by the LA Lakers so he can play the center position and Lebron James will play as the number 3 or 4 position/Point Forward. If a deal will push thru for Giannis Antetokounmpo to be at LA Lakers, I suggest that Rui Hachimura will be traded to Miami Heat to play the Power Forward position to partner with Miami Heat Center Kel’el Ware. Another thing for this case, if Victor Wembanyama will be acquired by the LA Lakers, Deandre Ayton will be traded to the San Antonio Spurs.
If in case, there is a Salary Cap Issue in Los Angeles Lakers, they will be limited to options.
The LA Lakers will do the option of acquiring just 1 big man and that is either Victor Wembanyama or Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Case 1: If LA Lakers will acquire Victor Wembanyama, the LA Lakers might not push to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo due to Salary Cap Issue. Giannis Antetokounmpo might find some other NBA team to settle down. He might go to New York Knicks or any other team or he can still stay at Milwaukee Bucks.
Case 2: If LA Lakers will acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo, The LA Lakers might not push to acquire Victor Wembanyama again due to Salary Cap issue. Victor Wembanyama might find another NBA team if he wants to be traded or he can stay still at San Antonio Spurs.
CHET HOLMGREN (CENTER) FROM OKLAHOMA THUNDER TO MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES or SAN ANTONIO SPURS
Chet Holmgren might be traded into Minnesota Timberwolves. The Minnesota Timberwolves might be very interested to sign in Chet Holmgren thru trade to become the starting center to support the older veteran center, Rudy Gobert. BIG ADVANTAGE: Chet Holmgren is a Minnesota native. He was born and grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
If the trade will push thru, Minnesota Timberwolves will have 2 options:
A.) Minnesota Timberwolves might trade out Naz Reid to either Golden State Warriors or Los Angeles Lakers, sign Chet Holmgren and keep Rudy Gobert.
B.) Minnesota Timberwolves might trade out Rudy Gobert to San Antonio Spurs, sign Chet Holmgren and keep Naz Reid.
Another possibility is Chet Holmgren will be traded to the San Antonio Spurs. This could happen if Victor Wembanyama will be traded to Los Angeles Lakers. Chet Holmgren will possibly replace Victor Wembanyama at the San Antonio Spurs. On the other end, Ivica Zubac will be the big man to replace Chet Holmgren at the Oklahoma Thunder also thru trade.
Another possibility is Chet Holmgren will be traded to Boston Celtics. Boston Celtics is in dire need of a big man particularly in the Forward/Center position.
The NBA trade deadline for the 2025-26 season is scheduled for Thursday, February 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time (ET). That is the final moment teams can complete in-season trades for players, picks, and other assets during the regular season.
I know he's never healthy, but the Celtics could potentially add Robert Williams back.
Deandre Hunter is basically another Rui, that won’t improve LAL defence
Keon Ellis isn’t playing cause of the giant logjam we’re trying to offload so we have to showcase them. Mike brown didn’t play him even before we had the logjam so sending Keon there wouldn’t make sense
Alvarado might be worth a 1st because his contract is so good. His value for contract is outstanding right now
PLEASE JESUS I BEG OF U
PLEASE DO NOT SEND THE CELTICS A FOREIGN
BIG MAN
And the lakers just watching
It's so funny because the lakers have so much expiring money but due the the "lakers tax" people won't play ball with them
Hilarious trade ideas, Sadiq Bey for a 2nd lol
Minnesota want to give the bulls. some garbage back
Conley and Dillingham? No unless there’s a three team trade. Chicago is already deep at guard and Tre Jones got a vice grip on that backup spot
LMAOOOOO @ the Rockets Pelicans and Lakers trade… somehow the Lakers get all of the best players for free.
Bulls are not trading White so shut up
Grizzlies not trading Jackson
Bulls are not adding another project like Patrick Williams
Chris Paul and 2nds traded for Keon Ellis
What about gafford to Boston?
Why wouldn’t the Rockets just trade Jae’Sean Tate & Aaron Holiday for Alvarado and keep DFS? No way they trade DFS for Kleber hell no
