NBA Trade Idea Sends $179M Denver Nuggets Star to Detroit Pistons

Quote

In a new hypothetical trade idea from Bleacher Report's Greg Swartz, Denver shakes up their starting lineup with a three-team deal including the Detroit Pistons and Brooklyn Nets. The hypothetical trade has a lot of moving pieces:

Denver Nuggets Receive: Cam Johnson and Ziaire Williams

Detroit Pistons Receive: Michael Porter Jr.

Brooklyn Nets Receive: Isaiah Stewart, Tim Hardaway Jr., 2025 second-round pick (via Toronto Raptors, and a 2027 second-round pick (via Detroit Pistons)

I guess MPJ not really a championship material although he already won a championship with the Nuggets. If the Nuggets could move him through trade, they could acquire more players that could play both the 3 point shooting and the defense. Cameron Johnson alone could already provide what MPJ can, so that other player is just an extra.

The trade scenario is somehow good since it will make Nuggets to breath on the huge contract they give to MPJ. But the question is do they able could gamble to risk their current situation to try those new guys then build up their team again? Maybe for now they would not accept that offer since MPJ is role is so vital on Nuggets rotation. Maybe in upcoming season they would think about it and monitor the stats to be provided by MPJ if Nuggets management will not be satisfied on their monitoring then maybe they might consider to accept such deal and get other more player that could possibly help their team to win another championship again.

This trade idea they suggest is really good and for sure that Nuggets would benefit more here https://www.si.com/nba/nuggets/news/nba-trade-idea-sends-179m-denver-nuggets-star-to-detroit-pistons-01j546t3vz9q

I agree with you, they might give MPJ enough time to perform before they will push for this trade, I think he's part of the core and with him, Jokic, Jamal and Gordon already familiar with the ball rotations, he can deliver when there's a chance taking a shot which gives Jokic and Jamal another options, and also, the chemistries are somewhat needs to develop again if they will change their core unlike with these four stars they can communicat well and they already with playing alongside with each other for a certain period of time.

They've got a title together, though we really don't know how this trade idea will materialize or if all the teams that involves are willing to take chances to work with their new possible players.

And I initially thought that Zach LaVine might be traded by the Bulls. Because I'm seeing him as not happy with his roles plus he was also injured. But DeRozan has left already as their tandem didn't work well.

It's worth noting that LaVine has a big contract with the Bulls that will expire after the 26-27th season. So, I think if LaVine's goal is to make more money, he'll probably stay with the Bulls until his contract expires. However, if he wants to try to compete for the title, he should obviously think about a trade with a more competitive team.

Yes, but there were news as early as January that he wanted to be traded and he is not that happy with the Bulls. Not sure where it came from, but it might have steamed from the frustrations that after rebuilding they are still a so-so team in the East.

Quote

The Chicago Bulls desperately want to trade Zach LaVine. Despite how successful LaVine's tenure as a Bulls has been, Chicago can't seem to find any offers due to his massive $138 million contract and recent injury.

https://www.si.com/nba/bulls/news/brutal-update-on-chicago-bulls-zach-lavine-trade-revealed-01j2m4q74xaz

He might have a massive contract, but if teams are really interested on his service, maybe they can offer a good 3 team deal with other perks like future draft picks just to get him. We also see him being injured in the second half of the season and probably this is another "issue" that potential teams might have to look at how viable Lavine will be in the next couple of years.

Michael Porter Jr is extremely underrated. If it wasn’t for injuries he’d probably be a top 5 player in the league. The combination of him and Aaron Gordon on the wings is what makes the Nuggets a special team. If you take one of them away, the Nuggets are done as contenders. That’s what I think. No way is trading either Porter or Gordon a good idea.

I agree.

MPJ is actually a good part of the Nuggets and just remember on how they've taken the last season. They always had it and MPJ helped the team through their journey.

I think if there are superstars and starting players for each team, he's part of it. But if that's what the Denver Nuggets team think and mostly the coaching staff that they have to let go of him, they're going to have another adjustment with Jokic and Gordon.

Yeah, I would say that he is underrated, and prior to his injury, he has a good shooting form and so his percentage is high. But suddenly we see him struggle and we don't know what happen to him until he official says that he had a injury and if I'm not mistaken it was his back that really affected his form.

But I think the Nuggets is still one of the contender, their core is still intact, they might have to adjust. They still one of the best duo in Jokic and Murray (behind Brown and Tatum). So still very competitive Western Conference with them as one of the favorites.

Tyrese Haliburton posted some pictures his Mom sent him on X and LeBron commented. Pretty awesome. The idea a kid can grow up idolizing someone in his favorite sport and then not only grow up to play basketball professionally but be a teammate to your idol alongside winning a gold medal for your country is an awesome one.

As a Chicago Bulls fan I started to completely boycott the Bulls about midway through the season (outside of reading box scores a few times or reading about what was going on with the team trade wise and what not) due to the fact that their owner Jerry R doesn't give to flying butt fcks about the team since they have been the number one in ticket sales for the past three years, which is CRAZY. That being said, the olympics really was awesome as I could finally watch basketball and not be all pissed off. What a ride it was!

Really hoping that the Bulls start to give a shit!

There's really no good movement yet. They added more players in exchange for DeRozan but it didn't actually make the team better. I am actually shocked that it's DeRozan that they traded instead of someone else. Like the face of the Bulls now. Cheesy

Here is the sadder part of the Bulls' status. There are no rumors about any trades, sign-ins, or whatever. I guess they are sticking with what they have now and they will probably be aggressive when the season starts until the trade deadline.
I think we will just have to be patient about their next movements but I doubt it will be big since most superstars are now signed with other teams.

Adding Zaire Williams would be too much IMO. Also, I think the Detroit Pistons would benefit from this trade as well. Man, I always watch Isaiah Stewart and the Piston and I don't even think he should be in the NBA. He's like Bronny James, where you have to wonder why this guy is in the NBA. lol

With the Olympics over now and the trade market cooling down it seems like the next two months are going to be slow and a bit uneventful for NBA basketball. I’m hoping we get some surprises before the season starts, but I’m not sure what big names are left out there with the potential to make a splash in the trade market.

Nothing much can happen now. Either close to the season things will happen but not something that can make a splash. I think what we are seeing now is it. I think in next trade window and in the season trades can happen. Teams are already made.

Perhaps teams have settled down already, and in players in the market, they might no longer interested on them. Still months to go before the regular season, and for those who have participated in the Olympics, they might been given some rest by their teams. There are still high profile names though that could be in the trade block. And I initially thought that Zach LaVine might be traded by the Bulls. Because I'm seeing him as not happy with his roles plus he was also injured. But DeRozan has left already as their tandem didn't work well. Brandon Ingram's name also pop up as potential player to be traded by New Orleans but so far, everything is quiet and it seems that he will still be in the team this upcoming season.

Injuries and fatigue for these players will be the most important part. They didn't had much break, they didn't relax much, they went from NBA to Olympics to NBA, with very few days of break, they should rest their body for a full month at least normally. To be fair, NBA is still some ways to go, so they can relax a bit now, and take a vacation but I suggest nothing that tires them out, not like lets go sight seeing type of vacation, I mean like chill at the beach type of vacation.

Otherwise, these are older players, like Durant and Lebron and Curry were the best players in the team, and they are all old, so if they are not careful they could get injured because fatigue would make their muscles not as strong as it should be.

I'm sure that their teams know this and it's not like they will be fighting for a spot on the team so when they get back into the NBA gyms I'm sure theor coaches let them take it easy. But yeah the extra miles on their bodies definately adds up at a certain point. Injuries are just part of the game. Nba needs them to be healthy tue bring in ratings and fans so silver probably has already had a word with their teams as well.

There's not that much action, coming from the NBA champs until the rookie draft to Olympics.

Spot light was taken and done too quickly and these trades are still going to happen but I think that most of the teams now have been composed with the players that they all like and want to have.

The stars have already signed their extensions and hundred millions dollar contracts.

Have you guys seen that spreading video when Lebron snubbed up a kid in the streets of Paris?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scxNYP3pIw8

Lebron: "Stop, stop, stop, don't do that."

It's getting a lot of reactions from different people and most are not good.
But we have not yet heard the other side of the story and it's either the clip was cut or the kid had been pestering him the whole time. Or, is he even a kid?
I won't judge yet and I won't even dare compare his actions with other NBA players because there's a chance we might be wrong if we jump to conclusions.

I don't pay much attention to this kind of controversy, if we can even call it that. LeBron is human, after all, and sometimes, like anyone else, he might not be in the mood to interact with fans. As fans, we should respect that. He could be tired after the game or have other reasons, but we shouldn't judge him for a simple action. There's no reason to hate him for it because, no matter what, LeBron is great and has made significant contributions not only to the NBA but also to his community.

It's hard to disregard this issue. I mean, LeBron is a public figure, and he needs to be kind to people, especially kids or teens who idolize him. We're not sure what the real story is since the video doesn't show everything. Was that after winning the gold? If so, maybe LeBron was just too overjoyed and in a rush to get to their quarters to celebrate their victory.

A neighbor asked me today what would happen to the first five of the Dallas Mavericks after acquiring Klay Thompson, and it also got me thinking. First, I told him that an open spot already happened since they didn't sign Derrick Jones Jr. again. That spot will be for Klay. The Mavs actually got weaker on the defensive end but they are a glass cannon now which could also be scary.

I think their defense is fine; they just got outplayed by the Celtics. When they beat the Wolves to qualify for the finals, that was already proof that they have a working defense, so let's hope they improve their weaknesses so we can see them in the finals again. Having Klay Thompson is a huge lift for their offense as they now have a complete threat both inside and outside. Klay is a shooter, consistent enough to bring some energy to the team, so that’s what I want to see from him in his first season with the Mavericks.

It will bring interest for those viewers who loves to see additional aid, though Klay was a good 2-way player before the injury but I think he still got something if he will push for it, he's a good defender plus a good offensive option especially when Luka or Kyrie already breaks the defense a kick out for an open 3 might be a good offensive threat for them.

We will see what help can Klay might bring for the team, I like to see him bringing his best and really help Mavs for another chance to the finals.

Klay wasn't initially known for his defense, but he developed that aspect of his game to complement his skill set. Unfortunately, his injury seemed to affect his shooting, likely due to a drop in confidence. However, with a fresh start on a new team, there’s a chance things could turn around for him. Klay has the experience and championship pedigree, which could be a significant asset for Dallas. What they need now is the confidence to believe they’re a championship-caliber team, and Klay’s presence could help instill that belief.

Yeah that injury really affects him and the way he played, I guess with that new challenge playing with a different team, not familiar system and teamates it seems to be a tough one but I believe Klay will be able to adopt and will sync himself for the team, he did that before and surely he'll be able to blend and work with his new squads chimistries.

Just a clip and like you I won't give my opinion just by seeing that shared video without a clear knowledge about what really happened, better to wait for anyone who can provide more clearer information and not just basing with that video that are now surrounding social medias.
