2023 Official NBA Trade Deadline/Buyout Thread

[Who]

Big issue for Toronto is getting VanVleet back to where he was prior to the ASG last season. He got hurt afterwards and struggled to close the season. He has carried that into this season. His underperformance has also hurt TOR badly in addition to having no center.

Without that, TOR still probably a 47 win type team.
With VanVleet back in top gear, 50+ win team.

Heading into next season, some growth from S Barnes and an improved bench and Toronto could be a Title Contender.

Any chance crowder is bought out? I mean if he was pouting in Phoenix, he’ll surely be pouting in BKN!

[Roy H.]

Keep sending stars out West, please.  It makes the Celtics’ path that much easier.

[Who]

Should Toronto have traded S Barnes for Durant?

G: VanVleet
G: Trent Jr
F: Durant, Anunoby
F: Siakam
C: Poeltl

Shades of the Kawhi Leonard title winng team.

Give me TJ Warren, Brooklyn!

EDIT: Crap, I guess he was included with KD in the trade.

[Who]

What does the Suns lineup look like now?

G: CP3, C Payne

F: Durant, TJ Warren, Saric
C: Ayton, Biyombo

What else do they have?

Now the Nets can go back to organic building.

He was part of the trade with Phoenix.

F:
F: Durant, TJ Warren, Saric
C: Ayton, Biyombo

What else do they have?

Why can’t Warren start at the other forward spot.

[Who]

CP3, Booker, Durant and Ayton does look impossible to defend. Good basis for team defense as well.

He could. Do they have nobody else?

[radiohead]

I wonder what Brad is doing now. The west is getting a lot stronger. BKN will probably have a firesale. Who could we get from them? Joe Harris?

[gouki88]

Pick details: Brooklyn gets unprotected picks in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029.

Some of those picks could be very valuable

[Who]

Brooklyn have a pretty solid team post trade.

G: Dinwiddie, Watanabe, P Mills
G: Joe Haris, Cam Thomas, Seth Curry
F: Mikal Bridges, R O'Neale
F: B Simmons, Finney Smith
C: N Claxton

That is a solid .500 team. Strong defensive team. Some passing, some shooting, good rebounding.
