2025 NBA Trade Deadline Thread

90 seconds to go

I was watching a bit of the Grizz game last night. They were talking up a guy named Jaylen Wells (wrong name). Said he came into the rotation recently as a wing and played so well that he must keep his place. I expect he will be taking Marcus Smart's minutes.

Edit: Haha. Not just wrong player. Wrong team!

It was Minnesota and a player named Jaylen Clark. Ah, not too far off on the name in the end. Apparently he has been playing great for Minny of late. Commentators were talking about him keeping his minutes instead of Donte DiVincenzo once Donte returns.

We can't bring back Smart if he gets bought out right?

Man, gotta credit Brad for the Marcus trade.  Sold at the right time.

Man talk about feel good stories. We sign him for the min, and he helps us repeat? A man could dream haha

Wonder if Smart gets traded. Grizzlies don?t really need him with the emergence of Pippen Jr.

And the answer is yes! 

[Phantom255x]

So I guess we just wait on buyout market or Lonnie Walker/Torrey Craig?

I though the only Celtic's drama today was Tilman, stay/go.

I wouldn?t want Smart to get minutes over Brown, White, Holiday, Hauser, Pritchard. Those guys are all better than him at this point, so I don?t think he?d improve the team. But sure, if you want some hero ball 3?s.

The Los Angeles Clippers are trading Kevin Porter Jr. to the Milwaukee Bucks for MarJon Beauchamp, sources tell ESPN.

Milwaukee got so many of similar wings. I can't keep them straight.

* Andre Jackson = plays some
* AJ Johnson = traded in Kuzma / Middleton
* Beauchamp = traded here
* AJ Green = shooter

Too many similar sounding names. Jackson, Johnson. Two AJs. Andre.

* Tyler Smith
* Stanley Umade

More similar sized wings. Can't keep them straight. I am happy they are trading two of these guys. Make it easier on my poor head. I can't keep track of them.

If Smart is bought out he can't return to Boston, the C's can't sign a buyout guy who made more than 12.8 million this season due to apron rules.

Buyout market it is. Or Lonnie Walker. Or both
