NBA 2026-27 offseason trades, signings & rumors

[Who]

I wonder if BOS could have gotten LaMelo for a trade built around D White. D White is better than Naz Reid. Older though.

A big 3 of LaMelo, Jaylen, Tatum. Find role players. Let them go. LaMelo's playmaking would have opened up the offense and created more open shots for everyone.

Jalen Duren plans to explore sign-and-trade scenarios after contract negotiations have stalled out with the Pistons, per

There is a large enough gap in value from Duren?s camp and Detroit where he feels like it?s best to now play elsewhere.

[Who]

B Miller = 129 FGA at rim last season

Tatum = 295 FGA at rim in 2024-25. 405 FGA in 2023-24.
Jaylen = 268 FGA at rim in 2025-26. 259 FGA in 2024-25.

B Miller just doesn't get to the rim often enough. He plays more like a Klay Thompson. It shocking how little an athlete of B Miller's caliber gets to the basket for finishes / to the FT line.

J-Dub = 337 FGA at rim in 2024-25.

-----------

B Ingram = 198 FGA at rim 2025-26. 157 FGA in 2023-24.

Ingram lives in that midrange. Takes a huge amount there. Struggles to get to rim. Not athletic enough. Not physically powerful enough. B Miller avoids the midrange. He takes 3s instead. Also not physically powerful enough to get all the way to the rim and finish. The B Ingram comp is interesting.

---------------

K Durant is an interesting one. He had 368 FGA at rim in his prime (2016) down to only 89 rim attempts last year for Houston. Old man Durant. 89 attempts out of 1376 total FGA (6.5% of his shot attempts).

Mikal Bridges when he was the leading scorer for the Brooklyn Nets took 214 FGA at rim in 2024 and 228 FGA in 2023. Even he got to the rim more than B Miller and Mikal had no handles.

Trey Murphy is similar to Mikal Bridges in style of play. Limited handles and shot creation. He still got 221 FGA at rim last season. 189 the season before.

Franz Wagner injured last year. 267 FGA at rim in 2025.

-------------

I am struggling to think of other athletic wings to compare B Miller to. These guys are a bit bigger. More PFs.

Siakam 270 FGA at rim. 335 the year before.
Avdija 335 FGA at rim. 279 year before.
Jalen Johnson 340 FGA at rim.
Banchero 367 FGA at rim.

It really is shocking how little B Miller gets to the rim or the FT line. What is the value in all that athleticism if he cannot use it to get easier baskets for himself. Or others (limited passer). Everything is on the perimeter. So many pull up jump-shots.

There really is nothing I want from Charlotte.

Miller and Reid would have to be in the deal. And still I would not like it. Nothing else is worth moving JB.
