Trade Official 2025-2026 Trade Deadline Thread

I wanted Keon Ellis for a while, but if Sacramento was trying to use him to move Schroder, it wasn't meant to be. Too bad.

I didn't have any interest in Dillingham, but I did want Matas pretty badly and wasn't super happy with the return we got on the pick... I still contend both of those things are true, even though it has worked out pretty well

Where I was at too. Once Holland was off the board I wanted Buzelis so badly and got fucking pissed when Dillingham's name was called. Then less pissed when I found out they traded him, but still salty about not getting Buzelis who would have been a steal at 8.
 
The Pacers should have waited until the off season when they knew where their pick would land before risking trading the 5th pick in a deep draft for Zubac.

Donsunmu replaces Alexander-Walker like McCain eventually will Joe, but the Timberwolves didn't add the play making they need.

The Pistons and Spurs have obviously flaws beyond youth that'll be exposed in the playoffs and should have been more aggressive in a more open than expected league, considering Jalen Williams' wrist/shot is wrecked for this season.

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. They would have been better off committing to the tank now and offering 2 future unprotected firsts beyond '26 in the offseason, probably in a S&T for Mathurin. I have a hard time believing the Clippers would have gotten a better offer, and it would have been a lot less risky. Plus Zubac is good, but not that good.

That's why when I see people saying they know a player is going to be this and that, etc, I just laugh lol. None of us know how these players are going to plan out. Only time will tell.

With him it was fairly easy. 6'1 and weighs about as much as a cocker spaniel.
 
Hope Sochan has a Sad Keldon -> Still Here relief dump that results in a turnaround in attitude on and off the court. Maybe the fear of getting moved and then realizing you're staying makes Jeremy pull it all together
 
How did we not upgrade Biyombo, what? Thought they'd get Goga.

But watch these buyouts, Spurs don't seem interested in getting new rotation players but they could at least bolster 3rd string spots that way.

Big difference - Jeremy wanted to leave, so I am not sure he's feeling the same. Keldon wanted to stay. I hope you're right, though, and that he leans more towards what you've said.

I agree KJ seems to have embraced SA moreso. Jermey appears to have no market so it's irrelevant if he wanted to leave or not bc he has no where to go and better make the most of it with the Spurs.
 
^ On draft night, I honestly believed we got our draymond.

Man oh man.
 
So, again, I can't figure out the Clippers. They just traded Zubac and they're playing well. I don't understand why they would do this. Do they know that there's something coming down that they're about to get the death penalty because of Kawhi's contract?

Cheers to that. I was hoping he be moved, but he wasn't so now I'm rooting for him. Redemption Sochan, let's go.

We need to investigate whether or not the Oklahoma City ownership group has an interest in any tree planting related organizations that may be able to blackmail Balmer.

At the time we were so starved for anyone 6'8 PF because we were starting 6'5 Keldon at the 4. It made us overestimate anything we got

The redemption arc is now forged into his storyline. Make it happen, I seriously believe it is all in his head. We've seen flashes of what he capable of at least defensively.

Hey... Go Spurs Fuckin' Go.

I was hoping for some upgrades around the fringes but the didn't happen. Still 3rd best record, young and hungry. Let's go do this thing.

For some fans, the itch to trade just for the sake of trading can get in the way of realizing how better it is to just stand pat and let a young team grow and develop (as painful as the process has been at times).

Thankfully the bevy of action around the league made up for it. NBA got a nice little shakeup, and mostly in Pre-Agency moves by non-contenders... I like it.
