SI is garbage. I would bet it’s pure speculation and not based on legitimate source information.

This has the Rockets giving up Şengün, Jalen Green, and Thompson, along with picks? Doesn't feel worth it if I'm the Rockets, as good as Giannis is. Green has got to go, and Şengün doesn't work with Giannis. Amen's defense was unreal in that series, and he was very good on offense. Seems to me the keeper. If you're already parting with your two nominal best players and a boatload of picks, I think you can throw in a different asset. Otherwise, how is Giannis in that much better of a situation? (Not Milwaukee's problem, I get, but still.)

Bucks should then sign Newt and Cam to create a Core 4 of proven winners….

That's not trade news, that's utter speculation; nothing but a trade suggestion by one of the hundreds of journalists, podcasters etc. who play with trade proposals every day.

That's why I threw potential in the subject line.

They won’t trade Amen. I think they would do most everything else to get Giannis, and I wouldn’t blame them.

Surround Amen and Giannis with shooters and that team would be incredible.

The word speculative would have been better.

 

[stick]

Rockets are not trading Amen Thompson.

I think when everybody clicked on this, they assumed that Clingan was actually rumored to be in a potential deal. This is SI "reporting" that an Athletic article put together a plausible 3-way deal involving Clingan.

There was a long article on the Rockets the other day and it said that Amen was the ONLY untouchable player on the roster. Now, there's always a price. But this ain't it.

I don't think that Donovan is the 2024 UConn lottery pick we need to worry about being traded for Giannis

 

[ucp990411]

SI throws out a bunch of garbage possibilities. Pretty much click bait

Hard to believe that they would stay with the incompetent Ayton over Donovan.

 

[Umami Zen]

NBA is a business. Donovan did a great job this year of establishing his future NBA value. NBA execs have seen his impact on a game defensively. They want that on their team. How desperate are the Blazers to cash in their chips on DC in exchange for what they get in return?? One thing is for sure- The GM making the decision to move DC on (if true)-is putting his job on the line if it doesn't work out.

 

[Waquoit]

Yeah, it was clear to me the Blazers were playing their best ball when DC and Time Lord were trading minutes. I wonder Ayton is untradable.

"Potential" has the ring of imminence, to me.

This is a joke trade scenarios. Houston isn't trading their 3 best players and draft capital for just Giannis. Why even post this speculative garbage? We aren't playing NBA2k26.

It’s just dumb. Don’t repost SI links at this point.

All of their articles are basically rewrites of tweets and things published elsewhere.

 

[SportsFan88]

If the rockets trade Thompson that whole front office needs to be fired immediately after, that dude is gonna be a STUD

 

[UconnU]

It would make a lot more sense for Portland to move Ayton seeing as he wants an extension and they’re hesitant. Contract is up after next year. That’s why they drafted DC.

Why would they even consider extending Ayton for more than a second? What am I missing @aceboon?

 

[HuskyFich]

Portland has been eyeing Clingan since HS. There’s an article the GM is quoted in talking about it.

Would be beyond surprised, especially since Ayton probably has significant demand as well…
