Still wondering what the Clips are up to, was looking for them and Milwaukee to be active before trade season began

This is what I thought as well. Giannis was the main piece for 2021 free agency, with him (likely) off the table, it'll be interesting to see if teams are more willing to spend money this off-season

Clippers just don’t have a lot of assets to make deals with. Some kind of sign-and-trade involving Montrezl is probably the only way they can get something fairly big done via trade.

Clippers blew their load last year and have nothing to show for it. They’re not doing anything this off-season except watching.

Giannis has no excuse not to win a title this season. Barring injury, the Bucks have more than enough talent to win. If they don't, it'll be on Giannis. He can't fall back on the "I didn't have enough help, the organization needs to do more" stuff. Comparing this Bucks roster is far better than any of teams during Lebron's first stint in Cleveland.

Houston is thinking of more than just W’s and L’s. Harden is brining in more money via jersey and T shirt sales than almost anyone else in the league. A bad year with him still on the team is a better investment than trading

If I were the Clippers, I'd be looking to unload Paul George, the only issues is that he's a free agent after next season. The Clippers running it back are a 2nd round team at best.

I also think basketball media/fans have a strange obsession with picks.
Just because you got hella 1st round picks does not mean you pulled a heist of a trade.
Most of those picks will be non-lottery, 20-30 range.
Remember how everyone would talk about how amazing Boston was for having all those picks? The only ones that mattered were the lottery picks.
Of course picks allow you to be flexible and give you more swings for trying to find the next draft steals but I just feel like pick swaps and protected picks 5 years down the line that will most likely land in the 20-30 range are overrated.

houston rockets organization would actually make more money by trading harden for a guy like simmons = more new jersey sales

a bunch of picks and you don’t hit on them means nothing. I agree you need to increase your odds but if you miss what was it worth. That’s why I asked who was the last person OKC drafted worth anything?

trading those draft picks mean nothing to me if Giannis signs the max - which sounds like he's gonna do. Historically, picks 27-30 have had a negative value for contending teams. They are forced to pay a guaranteed salary for 3 seasons for pool of players with less than a 20% chance of breaking into a rotation of a good team. Picks 35-40 have represented greater value in the past for contending teams (see GS).
