2026 FA/Trades/Resigns

I don't get the Ja Moron trade. Now they have all of Dame, Scoot and Moron?? For why?

What makes you think Portland is done making deals? Either Scoot or Dame will be shipped somewhere. Or maybe Morant is headed somewhere else. Are they pursuing Anthony Davis? Jaylen Brown?

Just in case anyone is wondering about these last two posts, the following story just broke:

BREAKING: The Memphis Grizzlies are trading two-time NBA All-Star Ja Morant to the Portland Trail Blazers for Jerami Grant and Kris Murray, sources tell ESPN.

What makes you think they are GUARANTEED to successfully complete another trade?

Free agent center Jusuf Nurkic intends to sign a two-year, $22 million contract to return to the Utah Jazz, sources tell ESPN. Nurkic thrived in coach Will Hardy's system and was excited about the Jazz new look roster. Utah officials worked through the deal with Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul on Monday.

Kenny Hustle was declined by OKC. He is now available to sign.

Grizzlies add to their stable of forwards with Jerami Grant. I wonder if Grant might be a buyout candidate.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are picking up forward Lu Dort's $17.7 million team option for the 2026-27 season, sources tell ESPN.

I didn't think they had the money for this!?

They already shed Wiggins at 10 million
Joe at 11 million.
Kenrich at 7 million.
Hartenstein a declined team option then signed new deal so savings of around 5 million this season.

Total savings of around 33 million

They do because they salary dumbed Williams, Joe and Wiggins. It sounds like they will look during the year for a trade. It’s that next year when they will lose more than likely 1 or 2 of Wallace, Caruso, Dort if they keep their big 3

As a 1st apron team, the wolves would not be eligible to sign him.

If they could get Jaylen Brown without trading Avdija or Clingan, they're cooking with gas.

Holiday/Camara/Sharpe and a couple of firsts might get it done.

Scoot becomes Ja insurance.

That would indeed be a great deal for Portland. But I don’t think Boston does the deal without getting Avdija or Clingan.

Why not?

They can build an offer around Holiday, Camara and a bunch of picks and works financially.

He's not exactly what this team is looking for but the reason it's good for the Wolves is if he takes a roster spot on a different forward needy team, it pushes another one here.
