2025 NBA Season

[Maslate]

Suddenly I'm seeing a lot of talk about the Suns trading Bradley Beal...  I don't even know if that's an option or something they would want, but I'm hearing names like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden.  I doubt the Suns would be willing to take on Harden as he's a huge risk and has already said he wants to be the number one option on whatever team he lands on, but Mitchell might be a legitimate option if they were trying to flip Beal.  I'd personally rather have Beal as I think he fits in better with other stars, but Mitchell is an elite player when it comes time to show it.

Mitchell would be a nice switch but doubt cavs would do that, and Harden just doesn't make any sense for the Suns.  Why would they already give up on Beal.  Where have ypu seen this chatter?  And last isn't there a set period of time that has to go by before he can be traded again?  If there is bad blood on that team already I'd be surprised.

Yes, that just don't make any sense because the Suns have poured enough resources to acquire Beal and then now they suddenly want to trade him so that they can make some space for Harden and Donovan. If it's Donovan, it would make sense but Harden? I don't think so. That man is already out of his prime, he can do some help but most of the time, he's just a star who is now a liability to any team that he lands on.

Well when they acquire Beal from the Wizards, it make no sense at all because of the huge contract that they have to inherit. But it seems the plan is to used him as leverage for future trade, for sure if there is a superstar that they want to trade, it won't be KD and not likely their franchise player in Booker.

So this is the only reason why the talks and the name of Beal suddenly pop up for a trade with Harden or even Donovan Mitchell. Sometimes it really doesn't make sense at all for teams to trade their superstars, it's a risk that the owners will have to take.

There is also a wild speculation on Giannis, him and Anthony Davis of LA Lakers for a 1:1 trade? I'm not sure though if the Lakers are going to make this trade, but for me this make sense. AD is already fragile and we all know that it was a cringe to watch him attempting to get rebounds or block shot as he might get injured once he lands down. This is just speculation though. Everything though depends on the performance of the Buck and Giannis, or maybe this is a sign that they might not be as good as the previous years as everyone for sure have heard about Giannis comments and it might have crack the relationship of the team right now.

If I were the General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks, this trade would never happen even if Anthony Davis improves a lot from last season. As he is already known to be injury-prone, I would not invest in a player with a history of injuries like Anthony Davis. Giannis has had some injury issues in the past but they haven't been as like Anthony Davis is. I would consider accepting the trade if it included additional players like Austin Reaves not just Anthony Davis.

Correct! Why bother to trade your superstar with someone who is known to be an injury-prone player? that's make no sense at all.

Though on some side both are really playing great and the impact is not by far but investment wise, for me, I'll rather
add more money for Giannis' deal instead of letting him go.

Giannis is an all-around player and if he will play with someone who can meet his level of competitiveness, chance that
they may win another title is still possible.

He's not a good player to trade for Giannis. There's no question that Davis is talented, but it's a big gamble for the Bucks to accept Davis because he's known to be injury-prone. While we're not hoping he will get injured, history has shown that he has been plagued by injuries most of the time. This is also the reason he was traded to the Lakers from the Pelicans.

I would love to see Giannis and LeBron play together. They can be a pretty good duo, combined with LeBron's experience and Giannis' athletic performance, we can watch a very good game.
But I don't know how necessary or how logical it would be to make this transfer. It doesn't look like it will be very profitable for the Bucks. anyway, this is just a rumor, I don't think the chance of such a thing to be true is very high

If Davis wasn't injury-prone, then a 1-to-1 trade would make sense since both players are good enough. I would even say that a healthy Davis is slightly better than Giannis in terms of defense. However, the reality is that Davis' value has dropped significantly due to frequent injuries, and such a deal would clearly not interest the Bucks. For comparison, Giannis played 719 games in 10 seasons, while Davis only played 660 games in 11 seasons.

If Davis weren't injury-prone, I would choose him over Giannis because, in my opinion, Davis is smarter than Giannis. Based on my observations, Davis doesn't easily panic, and he loves to take the last shot. But when it comes to Giannis, he seems too predictable. I would compare Davis to LeBron, as both are gifted with great physique but aren't that clutch in crucial moments.

Yeah, even if they offer Anthony Davis I doubt the Milwaukee Bucks will accept that kind of trade especially because of the history of injuries of AD. Giannis is a man with talent, height, body, and speed. It's difficult to find someone who will be equal to the trade. They may have to wait for his contract to expire but I doubt Lebron will still be in the Lakers. Maybe in the management section.

Anyway, Bleacher Report made an article about a more realistic trade that could happen.
Realistic Trades That Would Shock the NBA In 2023-24
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10087884-realistic-trades-that-would-shock-the-nba-in-2023-24

Chicago Bulls receive: Trae Young and Garrison Mathews

Atlanta Hawks receive: Lonzo Ball, Patrick Williams, Coby White, Dalen Terry, 2027 first-round pick, 2029 first-round pick and 2028 first-round pick swap

Yes, it could happen. Trae Young is a point guard and there are so many guards in the league right now so trading him will be easy for the Atlanta Hawks considering they still have DeJounte Murray to keep the play.

San Antonio Spurs receive: Karl-Anthony Towns

Minnesota Timberwolves receive: Keldon Johnson, Devonte' Graham, Cameron Payne, 2024 first-round pick (top-six-protected, via TOR) and 2025 first-round pick (via ATL)

KAT is inconsistent and with the Ant-Man on the Minnesota Timberwolves, they can rebuild and surround him with good players. It's possible.

Philadelphia 76ers receive: Kyrie Irving

Dallas Mavericks receive: James Harden

I doubt this could happen, if it does, I will be totally surprised.
IMO, Mark Cuban liked Kyrie Irving on their roster. It will be difficult for him to let go of such a star who was just recently signed. And I think Kyrie is still a better option than Harden.

[Japinat]

It is going to be exciting if they can do it this season and if it's possible to make some trade offers to the Bucks. But if not, we have to wait until a year until he goes free agent. Anything is possible for a team that wants him badly and he badly wants to be with.

His free agency is so far away so many things can happen by then, with one of them being the Bucks winning another chip and having a top team.  Why would giannis want to leave at that point.  Or he gets injured and alters his desirability around the league, or any other thing that changes the current outlook.  What we know now is the Bucks ain't in the market to trade him.

Maybe he just wants to try something new and that's the best team that he's seeing as a championship team that can bring him another ring. Just as what KD has thought of before. Yeah, he won't be traded right away but if the time comes and talks have happened, there could be a mutual and beneficial agreement that they can end up with. But as statements coming out like Kerr saying things that he'd like to coach Giannis and Giannis going to their team, well something might be cook in the nearest future with these collaborations, transfers and trades.

It's not something new, he really look for teams that can bring him more championships in the future. No doubt that Bucks is still good, but some teams that won championship, it's hard to repeat and that's what the Bucks and Giannis experienced, they were not able to duplicate their success for multiple reasons.

So how can he achieved greatness if he just won one ring? Lakers, Spurs, and recently the Warriors are the teams that won multiple championship and some of the players, specially San Antonio Spurs have been recently inducted to the Basketball HOF.

He would like to make his job easier, and he believes that can be achieved by joining a team that is already a championship contender. With the Bucks, he knows that the team heavily relies on him, and he needs to work hard and play better if they want to win. However, with the Warriors, he can rely on players like Draymond, Klay, and especially Curry to carry the offense if he's not playing, which means less pressure on him and a happier playing environment.

It's not that new anymore specially in this era where star players wanted to join a team that has already existing star players to make a superteam because they know that once they join in, the chances to win in every games will definitely increase including their chance to participate in the Finals and probably, win the title.

Giannis is not that different and he thinks that it's much better that way rather than to be called as a star player with no history in the league. And indeed, duplicating what they did in the past couple of years will be hard to them because the league has improved along with its teams.

I agree. It's too risky even if we say that the Lakers will add one or two players along and some future picks, the Milwaukee Bucks still won't benefit from that trade and if they're looking to trade Giannis because of his requests, then it's much better to wait from the other teams as I'm confident that they can offer more compared to what the Lakers can do.

[Yogee]

You give credit to Davis for loving to take the last shot on one end but you also said at the end that he isn't clutch. I don't know but that really sounds confusing to me.

This trade would be mind blowing hehe. Just imagine what would happen if you exchange one player with diva tendencies with another one?

Sorry about that, it was a typo error. I was using Giannis and LeBron as examples because both are very dominant big men who can defend well but aren't great shooters, especially in crucial moments. Giannis tends to get flustered when faced with double or triple teams, making it easy to beat him if opponents exploit this weakness, as the Heat did. As for LeBron, his shooting percentage seems to decrease in crucial moments, which is why he often chooses to pass the ball and let his teammates take the last shot. This way, he avoids blame in case the shot fails.

As Lebron ages, he's becoming more and more weak when it comes to crucial shots that is why we cannot see him lately making the last shot as he know himself that he's not that kind of a clutch player anymore unlike when he was much younger, like in Miami and Cleveland years where he was very dominant in almost every aspect. A package that every team in the league dreamt about.

While for Giannis, his weakness is when he gets a double team or even triple team to defend him but that will also benefit the team because it leaves the other players in the open. They just need to make sure that in every instances like that, they are able to convert it into a points.

[Kasabus]

Giannis is not that different and he thinks that it's much better that way rather than to be called as a star player with no history in the league. And indeed, duplicating what they did in the past couple of years will be hard to them because the league has improved along with its teams.

We certainly cannot blame him if he doesn't want to play as a hypocrite because in this industry, let's be real, you might be a superstar but you sure cannot make your name unforgettable to the people specially to the future generations if you don't have that much achievements and cannot win more rings along with the team of your choosing. The era today is already very different to the era that we've known and today, it's not that surprising anymore to see star players requesting a trade to get strong chances.

Giannis is an all-around player and if he will play with someone who can meet his level of competitiveness, chance that

Plus, the difference between Giannis and AD is that Giannis does the same thing better, whereas Lakers do not need someone better doing the same thing, they need someone different. I feel like GM's of whoever has the Lebron never really does the best trades they could, like what the hell was Westbrook, not that he was bad or anything (which he was) but that his playstyle doesn't fit.

I 100% believe that if you got like Tyrese Haliburton instead of  Giannis, that would help Lebron a lot more. I know that you think that's a downgrade, but that dude could shoot threes like crazy and that's the most important part. I believe that they need those type of players around Lebron to have another success again if they want to.

[blockman]

Maybe he just wants to try something new and that's the best team that he's seeing as a championship team that can bring him another ring. Just as what KD has thought of before.

Yeah, that could be the case and that's normal for most NBA stars that still can play and are still in the league. They want to take as many rings as they can. However, there have been stars that despite being on that title and position, they have never won a ring. But that's a different discussion.

If I were the General Manager of the Milwaukee Bucks, this trade would never happen even if Anthony Davis improves a lot from last season. As he is already known to be injury-prone, I would not invest in a player with a history of injuries like Anthony Davis. Giannis has had some injury issues in the past but they haven't been as like Anthony Davis is. I would consider accepting the trade if it included additional players like Austin Reaves not just Anthony Davis.

AD sure is an injury prone player but just like what Lakers did to him and preserved him on the playoffs, maybe that's being considered. But yes, the worth of money that will be put and traded on him won't be that much appreciated in that sense.

[püsür]

There is also a wild speculation on Giannis, him and Anthony Davis of LA Lakers for a 1:1 trade? I'm not sure though if the Lakers are going to make this trade, but for me this make sense.

That is a very interesting article. I like that kind of journalism for something so vague like trades. I also think the last one, Kyrie-Harden, trade is quite unlikely. And first two somehow possible. I think Spurs could trade KAT for everyone's sake. That trade would be beneficial for everyone. That is the one I'd like to actually see happen.

On the first subject, I don't want to watch an NBA with Lebron and Giannis on the same team. They are both alpha dogs and franchise players. Giannis is not like AD. That should just not happen. And it will most probably not because of AD being easily injured. Thankfully.

[Pamadar]

Giannis is not that different and he thinks that it's much better that way rather than to be called as a star player with no history in the league. And indeed, duplicating what they did in the past couple of years will be hard to them because the league has improved along with its teams.

The era today is already very different to the era that we've known and today, it's not that surprising anymore to see star players requesting a trade to get strong chances.

Not surprising at all, Star needs more stars to win a title, and Giannis just wanted to be practical, without the support he needs that
chance of winning another title is far from reality.

I like that opinion of being practical, if the managements can't give him the squad who can win a title then
better to find the place where the management will grant that request and risk that budget for the sake
of winning the title.

[yazher]

He's not a good player to trade for Giannis. There's no question that Davis is talented, but it's a big gamble for the Bucks to accept Davis because he's known to be injury-prone. While we're not hoping he will get injured, history has shown that he has been plagued by injuries most of the time. This is also the reason he was traded to the Lakers from the Pelicans.

I don't know if this is right but if Giannis really wanted to be traded then that's the only way if they can get some good offer from the Lakers if the other teams cannot give them more players for Giannis and some good offers specifically for him. nevertheless, if the players wanted to get out from the team, the team like the 76ers would have nothing to do but accept their request since they might not want to play intensively anymore for that team.
