Yeah I ran that trade for next league year. I still don't see what BKN incentive is, as again, they have so many picks in the upcoming draft. 17 doesn't seem to hold much value for them unless it's a trade up where MN or perhaps PHX gets 26 or 27.60WinTim wrote: ↑Fri Jun 13, 2025 2:40 pmFirst of all, that trade cannot happen until after July 1st. It requires Randle to pick up his option. But even if he picked up early (i.e. before the draft), the trade still cannot happen before July 1st because the Wolves would still be a 2nd apron team.Phenom wrote: ↑Fri Jun 13, 2025 2:23 pmRandle and Cam Johnson to PHX
Rudy and Donte to BKN
KD and Claxton to MN
Works salary wise on spotrac
Why does BKN do something like this? I don't think they'd be very interested in the Wolves picks this year considering they have so many already unless they get 17 and the Nets send a lower pick back. Are they just looking for vets to help their incoming rooks? Maybe.
Phoenix has said they want a starting caliber Center, so you should send Rudy to Phoenix. I also think Phoenix would love to get out of the 2nd apron, so why should they take anything more back other than Rudy? I could see BKN getting #17 as incentive to take on some expiring contracts, especially ones that actually have value. And they get our from Claxton's contract that is not expiring.
The previous iteration fits in just right salary wise but sending Rudy to Phoenix changes the math too much.
Maybe
Nets get Julius and 17
Suns get Rudy, Donte and 26 (from BKN)
Wolves get KD, Claxton and maybe 29 (from Phx)
Perhaps Phoenix would prefer 31 since its not guaranteed money and the Wolves get 26 or 27 from Nets.
