Trade Official 2025-2026 Trade Deadline Thread

OKC now gets a good 3-point shooter on a bargain contract. McCain has fallen off a cliff this season, but averaged 15 PPG the season prior. He should be able to get back to that level.

They will also have to waive somebody to create a roster spot.

edit: they are trying to trade Dieng
That sample size wasn’t that big and the team sucked.

My shit take is he’s not going to be that player again, especially on a winning team with real offensive options and Philly made a good move here.
 
I'd be happy if McCain took some of Isiah Joe's minutes tbh. Not a bad gamble by Presti given their glut of picks.

I certainly hope so. The good thing is they overpaid, he's undersized and a negative defender. But they need these type of contracts for next season.
 
OKC salary cap crunch starts next year paying JDUB Chet and SGA 40 mil a piece. After next year it gets REALLY crazy when SGA average salary is 70 mil a season. No way they going to be able to keep all their other guards so somebody like McCain is exactly the type of player they are going to have to go for unless ownership is willing to eat that second apron tax money.

NBA salaries are really getting insane. With the way the cap is rising if Wemby was to get to a second super max contract with the spurs it would legit start averaging out around mid 80 million a season and his player option year might legit be more than 100 million by itself that season.
yeah that's why I got my own cap sheet with all the numbers in it, because it will be tough for the Spurs to keep the band together. Which is why they should add players on good value contracts instead of making a big move. Teams really have to plan this out long term.
 
question is: did the Sixers aquire those picks to send them to the Bucks?
Their subreddit is in meltdown because this was a move to go under the tax line, enabled by PG's suspension.
Josh Harris has paid $39M in luxury tax over the past 15 years.
 
Fuckin Mavs lol I really would've loved to live in a timeline they didnt win the lottery and were stuck with all this shit minus Flagg. Would've truly killed the franchise man.
 
I'm not a James Harden fan, but the Clips are playing the best ball in the league. They keep this up and they'll be in 4th or 5th place by the postseason. Does it make sense to trade him? Cleveland is a shitshow after last year and I didn't think it was clear who was to blame for it.
 
Is it safe to assume there's no promise of an extension for AD? Cause that would turn an interesting deal for the Wizards into something undesirable.
