2025 NBA Trade Deadline

Oh, that gets NOP under the luxury tax.  Probably means that rumored deal with us is dead.

Ball is not playing tonight but he never plays the 2nd night of a b2b.

the nba salary cap rules really have ruined a lot of the fun of the sport.

Well, Luka, AD and Fox all just got traded so still seems like fun, no? Fun for Silver's golden goose franchises but fun nonetheless.

It can and will change.  Ivey and Duren extensions being one of the big possible changes.  But right now Detroit is projected to have about $100 million available that summer.

people getting traded for tax and luxury tax purposes, not because of basketball reasons.  people traded into cap space or max exceptions and not traded because they bring 3pt shooting or rebounding.

its almost all cap moves and money stuff.  some of the big trades are fun, the other stuff seems hung up on financial details.

like, jimmy butler wants out, but phoenix cant trade for him because they cant aggregate salaries and fit him into cap holds and exceptions and blah blah blah.

Bradley Beal is a far bigger hinderance to the Butler trade than any salary cap rule.

why?  why cant they just trade for butler without doing anything with beal?

oh yeah, the salary cap and all its minute, ridiculous rules and subrules.

[Deleterious]

Sabonis on the move?

Assuming the Martin deal goes through and he sticks.  

Between now and 2031 the Pistons send out 4 of their own 2nd round picks.  They bring in 11 other 2nd round picks from other teams.  So they end up +7 in 2nd round picks for the next 7 years.

The fact no pistons are sitting out tonight makes me think nothing is close involving our players.
