The 2023-2024 NBA Season

[The Q]

A Mikal Bridges / Dejounte Murray trade makes far too much sense for either side to consider it lol.

If I was the nets I’d just be pushing a dinwiddie/Murray swap trade

The nets starting 5 is one of the top lineups in the nba.

Upgrade upgrade it.

Then get to work on that bench


(But I would still sell Royce off for sure)

 

[The Q]

No love for Banchero?

He has an argument

But Kessler has a level of certainty right now that is hard to pass up.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Luka could be the same deal as Trae. Looking at Brunson and Porzingas thriving since leaving Dallas speaks to that.

I feel like Brunson wouldn't be too far off from now with Luka. Zinger didn't and that's on both of them

Him and Kyrie seem to do ok

 

[Shanemansj13]

And the one time Luka made it deep into the playoffs when they made the WCF....Brunson was his sidekick.

Even with Brunson that roster was nowhere near a clear contender. This year they aren’t either. Kyrie is always hurt. They need to make moves.

They would only give up one 1st in that deal too imo

Never said they were.

It was just the deepest Luka has ever made it into the postseason.

I agree on Dallas needing to make a move or 2, Shane. The Mavs started out great but have leveled off since.

PS: I realize they have had injuries.

If they wanted they could probably add Royce and take on someone like bog to really help them clear out cap

They are in a tough spot

They have so few expiring contracts

July 1 they have much more flexibility

I’m not sure I do anything too crazy right now

Gambling on Wiggins or the aforementioned to lend Portis trade seem like their best bets of pulling something off due to said contract situation

Kidd's seat has to be warming up.

I'm still super confused on Murray's lack of market. Its a reasonable deal and his defensive regression is easy to point to as why.

He's not an above average shooter but he's good to great at everything else.

I've seen Trae trades to the Spurs dabbled around. I think that's the only other kind of ball dominant guy he can work with. And Wemby will likely be the best defender in the league. Hawks gets their picks back and then some...keep Murray instead. Probably add Devin and Keldon to it.

But that's just me forecasting Young not being able to mesh with any guard or wing of note.

I would trade trae as atl

Frankly I’d probably trade both guards and tear it down

But maybe I’d try to let Murray rehab his value and trade him at the draft

 

[The Q]

The problem is they still need to recoup some

I keep seeing cam Thomas has a market…and they simply refuse to take advantage of it

yea I only see Trae working with a ball dominant big. It's a waste of resources to pair him with another top end backcourt player. All the trades I see forecasted with Murray are for yet another guard. Dinwiddie is okay and all but that's a major downgrade from Murray imo.

They need to find the first fool willing to take him.

I mean dinwiddie is just clearing out salary

The whole salary


Yet another consequence of the dumb cap smoothing

So are you saying Luka can’t succeed without a talented roster? Welcome to the NBA. He can carry a team, they best that PHX team with a way less talent

You could say Brunson might never reach his ceiling in Dallas. Not a slight on Luka

Never mind. I never said that.

I’d be trying to use him and sharpe to get a later later future pick



…for a Mitchell deal


(Sorry bro)
