The 2023-2024 NBA Season

With Maxey running things....

I would be really shocked if Milwaukee and Phoenix were players in the trade market.

I can see their desire to do so but both franchises shot their load in acquiring KD and Dame. They really don’t have assets to do much more than add a guy who would be like the 7th or 8th best player on their playoff roster.

I don't know what Phoenix could possibly do.

Yeah.

That Tweet about acquiring Bridges had me dying.

Which is all the bucks really need

They need a better defender at guard

Brown would work.

But, I doubt they have anything the Raps would want.

It’s really been much more of a “everybody shares the ball” kind of scheme. Especially lately the Sixers have played Maxey more off ball. The recent change over the last two weeks tells me that if the Sixers make a deal it would be to add a starting level combo guard so that player and Maxey can share duties and swap on ball/off ball.

This is why I really liked Dejounte being the add to the Sixers.

I’m hoping nobody else is willing to give ATL two firsts except the Sixers and the choice in front of the Hawks is 1 first and a starter vs 2 firsts and an expiring contract. I think the Hawks would lean toward the two firsts.

They don’t even have the salary to make that happen unless they send Portis and Connaghton

Losing Portis isn't an option so nah.

No firsts to move, so they likely wouldn't be the best offer for Brown. They need to think smaller.

I would

They should

No idea if they will

The only tradeable picks they have is 2 seconds one in 2024 and one in 2027. The Raptors take on two years of salary. Maybe Portis fits them as a back up big? Connaughton doesn’t. I think Toronto can do better than Portis and 2 seconds for Brown who likely goes for a first and a useable player. Additionally, Bucks create a hole in their front court depth with no Portis.

Not happening.

You don't lose Portis to add Brown.

@Stakesarehigh hahaha

he's trying!

I'd almost argue the Pistons would have a decent reason to fire him and then sue him for violation of his contract. I don't know of any precedent though.

Can they trade him for Ham?
