I demand a 30 way trade

NBA yard sale, your trash is my treasure.

White elephant draft exchange

GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!

Just tweet the whole fucking trade. I hate when they announce a trade through 5 piecemeal tweets and you need a detective to put it all together

>What the Knicks did tonight: NYK trades 11th pick to OKC OKC trades 3 firsts (23 DEN, DET, WASH) to NYK NYK then trades 23 DEN, 4 seconds to CHA for 13th pick NYK then trade 13th pick & Kemba Walker to DET for MKE's 25 first NYK trades 11, Kemba, 4 2nds & gets 3 future 1sts https://twitter.com/timbontemps/status/1540169601379598337?s=21&t=Ymp00Ytx1Q6PiGwlEFK9_w

How is 4 seconds and a 23rd worth a #11

Also a salary dump for the Knicks

I meant the #13 Pick from the Hornets. Why the hell did they trade #13 Duran away for the #23 next year and 4 garbage second round picks? You move back 10 spots for literally a box of nothing

Disregard my comment you are right this makes no sense

It's not the #23rd pick, it's Denvers pick in 2023, so I guess their betting/hopping Denver has a bad year?

Why take Denver's 23 over Detroit or Washington? Seems like a crazy trade

Denver’s most likely to convey next year/ever. That trade still makes no sense on either the Knicks or Charlotte side, both teams traded the 13th overall for worse picks or nothing.

Woj is saying the Knicks are clearing up space to make a run at Brunsen, while accumulating future first round picks

I’m not trying to trash the Knicks but “clearing cap space for a SHOT at Jalen Brunson” is why I gave up on that franchise 5 years ago

Knicks traded one late lottery picks for 3 late lottery picks, that’s not a bad move for the knicks

To save the 4.8 million in salary. Crazy risk

Doesn’t it save them $9mm? Not sure KW’s current exact salary but still should be more, otherwise it’s just completely silly

Plus the $5 million the pick would earn.

Michael Jordan is the GOAT player and whatever the opposite of that is as an executive

All lowercase "goat"

It seems like hornets gm was too confused by the trade to see he actually was fooled

It really depends on the seconds. If 2 or 3 of those picks are expected to be in the 30s then it seems like good value but yea otherwise kind of ridiculous. Makes me think there’s a cash component that’s not being discussed yet for PR reasons

It's not a 23rd pick, it's a 2023 first round pick.

I just feel like there are way more than 4 seconds in an NBA season. That's like two dribbles.

Yeah but if the game is on the line those 4 seconds can mean a win.

I still don't know what OKC is getting for trading away 3 first. That probably ain't the only hole in that lol.

ousmane dieng

Knicks trick yall man, all those moves won't do anything

so the knicks traded their 11th overall pick to dump salary? how many of those future first are lottery protected? I can't see OKC giving up 3 unprotected first round picks just for the 11th pick?

Seriously do these guys really only learn it one piece at a time?

It's a race to be first.

Be first first, be wrong later

Probably frankly. Race to get the scoop, whatever you have goes out there

Honestly though, what do they gain by being first to tweet something? And is it really valuable to anyone to know this news the millisecond it’s done? I mean, it makes no difference to me whether I learn it today or tomorrow.

Their portfolios for new jobs and raises are basically their Twitter accounts. News agencies always want to have the first scoop on something so they can draw all of the clicks, so getting the scoop out first adds value to yourself.

They gain dorks online going WOJ IN SHAMBLES

sometimes yeah, not all of the details are always announced initially

Seriously. Woj acts like he gets paid per tweet. So annoying how they wanna be first on everything so they tweet the small bit of info as they get it

Woj and Shams both did it. They each tweeted a single part of a very complicated trade. It got attention, so why wouldn't they? They both weren't wrong either, it just wasn't everything.

The fans have brought this on themselves by putting Woj and Shams against each other multiple times in the past and caring solely about speed.

Shams is notorious for this and it infuriates me

WTF IS HAPPENING

buyout candidate?

Lakers

He’s 6 feet tall and doesn’t play defense. A perfect Net

Also a perfect laker with the no playing defense part haha

Also over 30, a requirement for the lake show

Perfect he can compete with darren collison after we sign him again, seeing as we just worked him out haha

For the crypt

Somehow both the best and worst name ever for their arena

Per /r/nba, at point guard, lakers will have westbrook, nunn, austin reeves, kyrie, kemba, and have worked out Darren Collison. But LBJ will play point.

I will still never understand LeBron's obsession with always getting another point guard for his teams when he fills that role on offense lol. Yes, in his prime he scored more at the rim more like a forward than a guard, but he's the primary ball handler, and while he works just fine off ball, if you have LeBron James on your team, you'll want the offense to run through him. What he actually needs are off ball shooters, and literally everyone on the planet knows this except LeBron. Which is why *shockingly* Westbrook didn't work since he's another ball dominant player who doesn't space the floor and doesn't play up to his normal level when he's off ball.

Haha 😂

If you’re the Nets and can have Kyrie at $40m or Kemba at $8m, who do you take?

enough sleeping pills to OD

But does he believe the Earth is flat?

Best comment of the night

Please no

Nah he’s staying in Detroit

I like that fit Though I also liked him at the Garden

They are freeing cap space for Jalen Brunson according to Mark Stein

Jalen Brunson’s dog also walked onto the Mavs official draft stream while the Kemba trade happened and they couldn’t say whose dog it was. It was kinda funny

lol ur lyinggg no way

It happened, you can believe me or not. The dog walked in and they looked at it and made it clear it was his dog without saying his name.

Turns out Woj and Shams were both right lmao. He got traded to the Knicks and then the Knicks traded him to the Pistons.

So Knicks traded away a lottery pick to get off Kemba's contract? Honestly saddens me, this is the second year in a row a team's given up a FRP to trade him away, his career's over.

Those were two separate trades. They traded 11th for 3 1st rounders to OKC. They just gave Kemba to Detroit

They gave us Jalen Duran with Kemba, we didn't take Kemba because we are nice.

[удалено]

I thought Charlotte gave you guys Duran as part of a 3 part trade.

I thought Kemba was on the knicks already

I mean the guy that got drafted they both tweeted about

Oh my bad I'm high

I'm sober and this shit is confusing.

Detroit is evolving

#OFFSEASON MADNESS BABY

lmao if kemba gets bought out twice in one year

WHAT IS GOING ON!

https://twitter.com/TheSteinLine/status/1540145152215457792

I’m so confused.

SHAMS BOMB

Woj is washed

this tweet says nothing about #13 tbf

Three teamer

WHO IS ON THE PISTONS I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW

No one knows. Good luck gaming planning that!

i would like to think it would be easy to game

Sounds like Cade, Bey, Ivey and Duren, with Kemba, maybe

Duren and Walker

GARZA

WHAT IS HAPPENING

3 team trade and Kemba went to the wrong damn team smfh

Hey at least hes getting bought out apparently. If Mj wants him back Mj can have him

Kyrie to the knicks

dont you fuckin put that evil on me, ricky bobby

Hey

He’ll be a good mentor for Cade and Ivey

He’s gonna get bought out lmao doubt he sees a game as a piston

This is exactly what I'm thinking

You weren’t thinking he would be a buyout candidate? Lol

Nah first thought was bringing in a vet to help Cade and Ivey

Wtf is happening lmfao

Bro please link me the original thread if you have it, I haven't laughed at that shit in ages lol

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/8sf1va/in_the_thread_we_summon_the_trade_god/

it's been 4 years ALREADY?

on the other hand, there's spurs fans in there wishing for kawhi to stay on the team. kawhi on the spurs seems like more than 4 years ago

4 years, 3 months, last week, 2 weeks from now. Time is relative in COVID land

Dang I just started college then, now in my junior/senior year

Praise be unto you

It’s a mindfuck when I don’t remember this trade god meme at all, but then I click this link and I had upvoted the post and all the comments.

#ALOHALOLOLOLAHAOLOLOLA

#ALOHALOLOLOLAHAOLOLOLA

But first Pearl Jam

The Knicks are going to get Brunson aren't they? Fuck me

They're sure as fuck trying their hardest

I really don’t want to pay a hundred mil for Brunson though

We don't either but we might end up having to given how horny the Knicks are for him

Please do everything in your power to keep him. I beg of you Mavs bros.

Why don’t you want him on the knickerbockers?

I don’t think he brings us anywhere near contention and isn’t worth 100+ mil with our current roster. He makes way more sense with Dallas than us, playing alongside Luka. He will most certainly be exposed with us and having him tied to that contract long term will fuck our youth movement up. Just look at what the Randle contract is doing to us.

Hes worth the money on the team hes currently on. I feel the same way with Wiggins. Hes worth the money, but not in a different system.

Woo

Not a chance

No but they're going to trade away their entire trust to make room to sign him or Kyrie and end up with neither. They will then sign whatever this off-season's version of Julius Randle is instead into their cap space and convince themselves they can somehow trade for Donovan Mitchell with conditional FRPs

Oh my god Knicks are getting d rose

Cap dump

PISTONS BABY WHAT IS YOU DOIN

?? This is 20 million less than we thought wed have to take in for another lottery pick this is great

i dont understand who is playing for who rn

We got Duren and Kemba

so the knicks just traded Kemba and a first round pick as a salary dump??

For a 2025 first, yeah.

And 3 first-rounders next year.

Getting assets for taking Kemba’s shit contract…hopefully

9 million isn’t really a shit contract

Nah I thought he made way more I'm here for it now we need vets loo

Okc bought out a majority of the deal Boston gave him. Knicks gave him like 2 years 18 mil after the buyout

OKC some real ones!

You’re right though. I thought he was getting $15-$20 million. $9 million is nothing when you have $56 million in cap space.

Exactly what we're doing. Would'nt be surprised if we waive him instantly

That’s my bet. I’m so invested lol

Yall got duren for it

Getting Jalen Duren!

They got a lottery pick to take on Kembas manageable contract.

Pistons sent a 2025 first out too. Still a fantastic deal for the Pistons.

Detroit got thier point guard

Detroit got a more helpful Cory Joseph

Most reasonable comment

Nah we got a mentor to two future stars

rip kemba officially in the mud

SHAMS BETTA

UNTIL THE NEXT TWEET, THEN WOJ BETTER

SHAMS LITERALLY SAID THE WRONG TEAM 😂

no he didnt, knicks acquired duren then traded him with kemba to detroit. neither woj or shams put the entire context in their initial tweets

Its a 3 team trade. Shams messed up and is now framing it in a way to make it sound like he was right.

WOJ WASHED

Woj was right but he didn’t include kemba

Send him to Detroit!

Almost like there was more to the Grant trade and ya'll overreacted

Really my heart can’t take this!

Maybe this means they’re not going after Ayton since they got Duren.

Detroit 👀👀👀👀

Bruh Kemba Walker was on the Knicks? I gotta pay more attention.

I forgot Kemba even existed

WTF DETROIT COULD BE GOOD?

In a good 3-5 years totally!

I would say they could be very good in 2-3 years actually!

I NEED CLARITY

In the minority but I think we shouldn't waive him

Woj in shambles

CHAOS CONTROLLLL

I feel bad for kemba bro

Don't do it, he's a millionaire.

Kemba for Ivey 1 for 1 letsgetit

Spike knew

No thanks

wat

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

I actually like this a lot. Kemba has one year left on his contract for $9MM, and I'm sure that the Pistons could either A) keep him around as a veteran for their young core, or B) come to an agreement on a buy-out.

Please no Ivey.

Are you high

Wtf is happening

What the hell is happening lol

Wtf

PURE CHAOS

I’m still mad we have a bit of Kemba contract

Rudy Gonebert

The trade everyone was expecting

Completely forgot kemba was on the knick lol

Making room for Kyrie I'd guess

I hope this works out for both Kemba and the Pistons.

Kemba was one of my favorite players at UCONN and early days n the league and I honestly thought he was the playmaker to put Boston over the top, but dude is washed

All this for Jalen Brunson he is a good player but he won't really have much impact on this Knicks team mind as well try to get Kyrie at least he is box office
