NBA Season 2024-25

I just saw a report from Shams Charania that the Kings have opened talks to deal De'Aaron Fox, as Fox plans to sign somewhere else next off-season in 2026.

Wow. That is a big time player on the trade market.

I wonder who they could get for him.

1st Idea

I like the idea of a Devin Booker for D Fox swap. PHX gets to rebalance their lineup. A top notch PG. Beal at SG. A defender at SF. Durant. A center. Sacramento gets an All-Star caliber player in his prime.

2nd Idea

If I am Philly, I would be hopefully dangling Tyrese Maxey in the hopes that is the best offer on the table. A young star PG to replace D Fox.

3rd Idea

How about Houston? Van Vleet & Jabari Smith Jr for D Fox? Maybe a young prospect like Cam Whitmore as well. Sacramento finally gets a defensive PF to play alongside D Sabonis. J Smith Jr is young with potential. A 15ppg two way PF that could grow into a 17-20ppg scorer.

4th Idea

San Antonio should offer up anything it takes outside of Wemby. Those two would be a dynamic duo. Stephon Castle and picks. Maybe Vassell as well. A new starting backcourt for Sacramento.

It doesn't offer SAC a replacement star but it could be a good rebuilding trade.

5th Idea

I wonder if there is any way Minnesota could get in on this. The deal would be around Randle. Maybe Randle, Naz Reid and Rob Dillingham. It does not offer Sacramento a top flight star or a top flight prospect. So not as good as some of the others. It does offer them a legit PF to play alongside Sabonis and a high quality backup big to play behind Sabonis giving them a strong big man rotation. Rob Dillingham looks a good long term prospect.

I'd love to see Ant get some real help. I hate seeing him have to do so much of the ball-handling and play-making. That is not his strength. Let him score.

Apparently the rumors are he has his eye set on San Antonio for summer 2026 and is discouraging any other teams from trading for him (besides SAS).

Pretty crazy that the Wemby effect is already drawing players there halfway through his second year, let alone to San Antonio. While not a perfect fit, Fox could work well alongside Wemby, though I still think they'd be a piece away from being true contenders.

Yep. RIP my parlays today 

[Phantom255x]

So the Hawks were down 2 with 25 secs to go. Their play was to dribble a bit and then take a 3 with 10 seconds left, and they lost the game. I know we have our issues but the league is trending this way too. Guys really want to play hero.

I hope they all just remain in the Spurs and not decide to sparse and find their way to the Lakers.

If I'm the Spurs, I go ALL-OUT to get Giannis. A Giannis-Wemby twin tower duo? OMG

Maybe they should trade for Giannis, then sign Fox outright in 2026

The Miami Heat, league sources say, have made it their mission now to find a palatable Jimmy Butler deal before the Feb. 6 trade deadline at 3 PM ET.

That OKC/SAS rivalry will be the next big thing in the West. OKC has had the Spurs' number for a number of years, esp since the Durant/Westbrook days.

As long as AD3 is healthy, the Lakers are winning games. But he's been relatively healthy the past two seasons for the most part. He just went out with an abdominal muscle strain.

Weird post for the forums to freeze out on and come back to. 

Much has changed.

Several people within the Warriors front office have dreams of LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry all teaming up together on the Golden State Warriors,
 
Sources say the most ambitious idea being tossed around among Golden State's decision-makers: Is there any feasible pathway for the Warriors to pull off the dreamiest of outcomes and find a way to bring both James and Durant to The Bay.

Per Jake Fischer

I'm trying to figure out how it could work but man that'd be something.

That said assuming Lebron stays which I expect, I still think Golden State should consider adding Durant back. See if Curry and Durant can rekindle some magic together. It'd definitely mean they give up Draymond or Wiggins though but I think it's worth the risk especially if it's Draymond and they keep Wiggins. Golden State is going nowhere otherwise and they have a much better chance at making 1 or 2 runs with Curry if they have Curry/Durant/Wiggins.
