Hawks Land Jazz’s Lauri Markkanen In Bold Trade Proposal

The NBA’s general managers are tasked with managing their assets. With that said, that’s not their primary goal. Their primary goal is to build a team that’s capable of winning NBA championships.  That means spending assets. It’s a balancing act. A team should hang onto their assets if they don’t have a title window. If […]

Mavs Land Jazz’s Jordan Clarkson In Bold Trade Proposal

They’re fun to watch when an NBA team is built around their backcourt. Guard-driven teams tend to put up points in a hurry. They may not always win the championship, but watching them try is typically exciting.  The Dallas Mavericks are a guard-driven team. Luka Doncic is a hybrid guard/forward, but he’s a primary playmaker. […]

Pelicans Land Cavs’ Jarrett Allen In Bold Trade Proposal

How do you build an NBA defense? There are conflicting philosophies. Some feel that it starts with an elite defensive anchor. Others will say that locking down the perimeter is more critical.  Look at the New Orleans Pelicans. They don’t have an anchor. Yet, they’ve managed to put together an elite defense anyway.

Suns Land Pelicans’ Jonas Valanciunas In Bold Trade Proposal

A true NBA superteam will typically lack depth. They have to lack depth. If you have three superstars on your roster, you’ll have limited cap space to build around them.

Heat Land Hawks’ Dejounte Murray In Bold Trade Proposal

Some members of the Miami Heat feel that they “have enough”. The implication is obvious – they feel that the Heat have enough to return to the NBA Finals in 2023-24. Are they sure about that?  Count the Heat out at your peril. This team wasn’t supposed to be in the NBA Finals last year. […]

Pelicans Land Jazz’s Lauri Markkanen To Bold Trade Proposal

The NBA is about talent. Nothing matters more. Sure, your team may fit together nicely. They may develop a reputation for defensive effort. If they don’t have enough talent, it’s all going to be a moot point.  Take the Utah Jazz. This team overperformed last season as a result of their roster construction. The pieces […]

Nets Land Hawks’ Dejounte Murray In Bold Trade Proposal

Every good NBA team needs a playmaker. Somebody has got to stir the drink. With that said, two playmakers can be overkill if they don’t complement each other.

Cavs Land Warriors’ Draymond Green In Bold Trade Proposal

The NBA recently suspended Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors indefinitely. This came as a surprise to some fans. Green has developed a reputation for being reckless on the floor.
