The Bucks have reportedly registered interest in Anthony Davis, per @TheAthletic.

In what would be a fascinating move, the Bucks can hypothetically make the money work by sending out Myles Turner and Kyle Kuzma. Dallas, however, would not be enticed by Milwaukee’s assets, so the…

If Myles Turner, Anthony Davis and Giannis all shared the court at the same time, that would be a monster defensive lineup. IF.

Would certainly be crazy to imagine AD on any court!

We're winning too many games. At this point, screw it. Keep AD and go all in for a surprise NBA title in 2026. Get Kyrie back, sneak into the play-in games, and go on a shock the nation tour.

Come out and publicly state we are all in and AD is off the trading block. Reverse psychology, who knows, maybe it turns into a bidding war for AD.

What draft slot does 31 wins get you? Eduardo Najera? This team is too good to tank, and Kidd isn't having it. If we are trying to tank, we're awful at it.

Currently the 9th slot with 20% chance of a top 4 pick.

The team is pretty successfully tanking at the moment lol.

Dallas is only 3 games above Washington for the 4th slot. Get below them (or have NO jump up, Washington to 3 and Dallas to 4) and it's an 81% chance at a top 6 pick.

Three games isn't very much and the Clippers and the pelicans don't own their own pic so they're not trying to lose



The sooner the Mavs sign me to start at center the better

I personally do not think there's a snowballs chance in hell that we overtake Indiana, New Orleans (lost like seven straight again), Sacramento, Brooklyn (once they trade MPJ), and probably Utah; however, I do think if they traded AD and Gafford they would be a near lock top 10 worst team, and then you just let the ping pong balls fall where they may. They just will never be as bad as the above teams I don't think and would near serious luck to get odds in the top four.

I'm not convinced that Brooklyn is going to trade mpj. They don't own their own pic next year so they can't tank next year too.

You'll never catch Indiana and probably never catch Washington, but your only three games back from Washington so it's not impossible.

I think New Orleans has had the hardest strength of schedule so far this season and their second half is much easier including more of the bad teams. Plus their team relies heavily on two rookies and if those rookies are progressing as would be expected, they should improve as a team. Both rookies are playing well this year. And New Orleans does have some shocking wins like beating Houston.

Everyone from 5-9 is separated by 1 game right now.

Just moving to 5 more than doubles your chance at to 4

Trae Young to Was.

Not a bad move for either team. The Hawks need a veteran presence and to make more space for another move, and Washington get a legitimate offensive threat to run the team and hopefully build up their young core.

100%

Good to see them hang on and take that L

LOL
