 what's the word y'all other day I was sitting around and I was thinking about how unique NBA fandom is compared to the other leagues around the world the other sports around the world because I would call myself a casual MLB fan and a fail fan and a casual soccer slash non-american football fan and the thing that makes the NBA fandom unique is that we have this obsession with player movement and trades I'm so obsessed with that type of stuff that in fantasy football this year I've already made like 10 different traits already I'm part of this because my team wasn't good to start off with so I needed some trades but another part of that is just I'm just so much in an NBA mindset that trades have just become a norm for me when these other leagues yes of course we have trades but we don't have as many as the NBA remember at the trade that line last season there was only two teams that did not make any moves the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls it worked out well for one of the teams less well for the other but we just see so much player movement so much player movement that we just started preseason and there are so many articles talking about people that could get traded that's just what we like to consume we like to see chaos so that intro was just a way to say that hey um Andy Bailey and Bleacher put together a list of one player each NBA team should put on a trade block let's react now get on remind people will react to these things we're going to talk but we're going to at least go over all 30 teams we won't stop to talk about all 30 because some of them are not going to be interested enough to talk about all right the Atlanta Hawks Clint Capella this makes sense to me and this is coming from the perspective of a guy that is not an Atlanta Hawks fan but have consumed a lot of Atlanta Hawks games over the last couple seasons I like the potential and potential versatility of a Nyeka Kongu and over the last couple seasons if you've been listening to my podcast you know that I've been waiting for the moment when Nyeka Kongu becomes too good for them to not start them and it hasn't happened just yet your Atlanta Hawks our team is trying to compete got the conference finds a couple years ago with Clint they're trying to compete so in their mind they might not want to bench click a pellet in the sake of youth because they want to be competitive right now hopefully this is the year that Nyeka Kongu does take that because I mean he does on the defensive side of the things again a Walmart version of what Bama the bio has been able to do when it comes to the switchability being able to guard the guards or play and drop he does that but in spurts obviously Bama is doing it every single night that's why he's a guy that gets widely respected well you want to suggest this video he's not widely respected but uh recognized for the most part as one of the best offensive players in ball and Nyeka Kongu has potential to potentially be that down the line just not yet but he shows glimpses here and there next we have Jordan Walsh for the Boston Celtics we don't need to stop here this makes sense they made all the trades already if there's anybody that would hold value on their bench it would be Jordan Walsh he's what 19 years old hit some shots and preseason his defensive versatility is where you're really excited about he was a former high school like top recruit or whatever um and then fell in the draft and everything but I don't know if the Boston Celtics are looking to make moves because they already made a lot but if they go to the deadline and like man we missed a one last small piece is coming off our bench Jordan Walsh might be a guy that they trade to get that piece Lonnie Walker for the Brooklyn Nets then that's our one of those teams that I don't know exactly what they're going to fall into standing so if it's February and they're not as good as maybe they could be and they're looking to move some people that's not a part of their core group Lonnie Walker over the last couple of seasons his last year in San Antonio and then with the Lakers he showed that he could come in off the bench and fill it up for you so that makes sense Gordon Hayward okay all right I gotta read this one I gotta read this one if he can stay healthy which is a massive if over the last several seasons Gordon Hayward could help the Charlotte Hornets take a step toward competitiveness this season okay they aren't likely to go much further than that though ah so it's just saying like hey if he's good enough and healthy enough maybe a team would throw a protective first round pick to get three months of Gordon Hayward because he is a free agent I yeah the Charlotte Hornets don't have a ton over there that's not part of the core core of Brandon Miller Lamello and like Mark Williams so like who you want to put Terry Rozier in the spot Gordon Hayward as an expiring contract might be easier to move but he also is making 34 million dollars a year so maybe it's not easier to move Lonzo ball um when I read this article I assumed that Lonzo ball was going to be the piece here so obviously is going to miss the entirety of the season he's got a player option next year that hopefully he's healthy by the time and he can suit up but if they don't believe that is the case or they don't believe that he's going to come back 100% his 21 million dollars could be used as salary filler plus draft capital to go get somebody I'm not a huge fan of that idea as a bulls fan I mean that's I don't know who they would potentially get but it is a hefty amount of money to pay somebody that's on the IR so if we're at February and for whatever reason the bulls look good which you know uh then his 21 million dollars plus I don't know another contract on the roster might be good enough to go get somebody that can be a needle mover but nobody expects the bulls to be good carousel vert uh yeah they got a lot of wings over there now they they got george yang who's more of a four they also got ice kakaro who looked really good in his first preseason game max truce and carousel vert who just signed an extension uh yeah I guess uh tim artaway jr man the dallas mavericks on one of those teams that I cannot predict they are one of the hardest teams in a league for me to predict luke and kairi are both studs but it's like okay after that what you know after that what's going to happen but there was a stat last season that when he shot like 50 from three in a game they were really really good uh so when he is on he helps you win games but if he's having a okay to mediocre game you know how it goes zik naji man the army video two years ago while I was in and I'm excited for zik naji's basketball play for the season and he basically did not crack the rotation at all this is the year where they need zik naji to be in the rotation they lost some people off the bench uh they they lost was brown they lost lost jeff green who were two of their top eight players in their rotation they need somebody who can be like a backup for zik naji has the potential to be a good shooter he has the potential to play some solid defense but we haven't seen it a lot in his career but if there's a rebuilding team that wants to take a shot zik naji is the type of dude that I would want to take a shot with boy I'm like none of it's this this is a guy that has been on the blot slash in articles about being traded for ever uh this is very contingent on if the detroit pistons just decide to kind of trade a lot of their vets because he is one of the perfect pieces to put alongside k cunningham because he has always been a 38 to 42 percent three-point shooter throughout his career and k cunningham needs space to do what he could do so this is that they're like hey we're going completely youth and it's time for us to finally cash in on by donovitch osis moody we talked about this on the kenny beach and podcast which is in the description about how the warriors a few years ago we're trying to straddle the two different timelines the steve curry timeline plus the youth timeline with jordan pool with james wiseman kaminga moses moody now jordan pool and james wiseman are gone kaminga looks like a player that is definitely going to be in the rotation moses moody a little bit less than that so maybe there's a team out there that's willing to take a chance on moses moody in the sake of adding another player that fit to steve curry timeline jason tate uh jason tate he's he really is a rookie he felt like he was 46 years old when he was a rookie quality quality mba player but they have so many playable bodies and houston a lot of those being more youthful than jason tate that you might want to prioritize their development over jason buddy hill no need to talk about it buddy hills name has been on the block for the last couple weeks maybe it's been like a month or so we don't know if he's actually going to get moved but he's a guy he's the oldest player in the league with zero playoff minutes so getting him to a playoff team could be good for his career we know he can choose one of the greatest volume three point shooters of all time next we have tarant man don't tell the clip is this they not they not thinking about trading no tarant man but at the same time he is the only player outside of the core guys the super core guys of the kawai's and the paul george's that hold value across the association so if they do want to go in a little bit more he is the player that holds the value this is also really fun to me because everybody assumes that tarant man is his young dude brother he he is my age he's about to be at least and i'm i'm old in this and my industry i'm old and mba industry he's young but not young you feel me the angelo russell yeah the angelo russell's contract is actually perfect to get moved two years 36 million dollars obviously in the playoffs last season he lost his starting spot and eventually just ended up looking not great and the lakers need playoff performers now i'm not saying that the angelo russell cannot be that uh this season because i don't really know i can't predict the future but uh if there was a world where there was a starish player that was this scrunto that doesn't hold a ton of value i'm not talking about joll and beat or something but like you know like a mid-tier star that's not super valuable the angelo russell rui and we like rui around here i'm not saying he's gonna get trade if you add those two contracts together it's a max spot so i'm just i'm not saying that's what the lakers goal is because again i think rui's more part of the core than the angelo russell but you never know how the season's gonna break and if a guy is out there that's significantly better than both of them the lakers are not a stranger to buying in more i don't have anything to say about zavier tillman um has had above average marks in dunks and threes estimated plus minus great good job that's how like it really it's all like really safe isle hero another player that's just been in trade rumors over the last season he will continue to be in trade rumors that's just the nature of his job at this point it won't go it will not go away as long as the miami heat are trying to contend and there's superstars maybe available tyler hero's name will be in these conversations is it warranted i don't know i'm a tyler hero fan i think tyler hero's a stud um but if it's a superstar uh like damian lillard was or superstar like joellen bead if that ever happens then he has to be in it because he's the one that holds the value so he's just in whole value to portland necessarily but he is a valuable player and a good player too marja boatam makes sense they traded everything else who else so who else in that team would hold any value other than the 23-year-old player now he did not shoot the ball ball very well in the regular season he got to some league and he looked really good i think he's going to be a guy that's going to play real minutes for the milky butch especially in a regular season but if they want to add more depth or a more veteran lead player marjan might be the guy that's on the move carl anthony towns whoo all right so everybody makes the argument with carl anthony towns being on the block you traded a bunch to get rid of go bare you signed nazri for a lot of money and then of course you gave carl anthony towns a super max extension not too long ago all those players for the most part are fives more than fours i know the trian carl anthony towns of the four and it could work out but we see him more of a five so their fives have accumulated so much money it's like man is it worth paying this much money to three different centers on our roster probably not so who is the guy that gets moved well you're not going to get your your weight back and value for rudigo bear because he was significantly worse this year than a year that you traded for him carl anthony towns is the one player that you could get value at even though he's making super max money he's a stud he was just all in the eight two years ago and he had an injury last year you know what i'm saying so we know that cat can really really hoop even though he's had his own playoff walls so if you were going to trade something in that center court it's probably cat and i don't love it but it through the process of elimination through the people that are available he makes the most sense younes valentine is for the pelicans i like dig val um but i don't know if i really love him alongside zyanna brandon ingram so i would look to this man i know this is well done but when i when i thought about the idea or not it wasn't just a me thing but throughout nba fandom of myles turner being the five in the world it's not it's a dead mission because he's a pacer and he just got his money last season so shout out to our girl our guy myles but he felt perfect to be alongside the pelicans and when he was on a trade block i'm like pelicans better pick up the phone pelicans got to put a phone you got a lot of milwaukee bucks picks you got picks that don't even you don't even own yourself so go trace them in the picks to go get myles because he's on the block they're talking about la no you need to step in they didn't do that val had a good season and all he's a one of the few bruisers type type guys on the on the league still and he can stretch a little bit more but not the perfect fit rj barrett she's a big bunny to rj uh only 23 years old as they're speaking about here rj barrett i like rj uh and maybe i'm biased because of the left hinder i think i left hinders get a little bit more praise in my mind just because you know me too uh but if i'm trading rj barrett and they look i'm not saying that rj is stood even though in the playoffs last season after a few really bad games he he got back on track um at 23 years old he might be the one of the main pieces and then new york nick superstar trade that they've been waiting for uh but that's all i could i could really see i mean for a nix team that's trying to get pete he's not the perfect third option by any means so i can understand that too ujman zheng i was wondering will it be him or poku with them having so much young talent and so little roster spots and so little playing time you knew that one of these dudes they drafted pretty high would be here because there might be a team out there willing to take a chance on a guy that was in the lottery in a raw prospect for sure uh but they just had to they have to make a decision about that roster you just have too many young players john isaac john isaac looked pretty good in that first pre-season game i was impressed i was impressed we know his defensive upside we know what we can do defensively but the problem is he hasn't played at all over the last couple seasons uh so if i am an opposing gm i'm waiting to see him play a couple games you know a one month straight stretch before i'm interested in training for him but there is no denying his versatility defensively i mean i was a big john than isaac fan when he came out of florida state i was like oh this guy's going to be a stud defensively and he was before all of the injuries so i want to see him put it together a little bit more james arden okay cool yeah we know that uh bobo we'll see man i listen listen listen i have been called that i'm like a bobo hater which is absurd to me i just call it how it is and bobo had a lot of cool stretches with your lendo magic last season but for the most part he was out of position all the time he didn't know how to use his length as good as you would expect a guy that has been this size since he was two years old and he overall just wasn't very good last season so i used that to talk about him you know what i'm saying his potential there for sure absolutely but eventually i have to turn that potential into actuality and he's still a young player but i also can only talk about the things that i've seen and i can't get too high with the highs and can't get too low with the lows malkin brogden 100% we know that davion mitchell i'm excited for davion mitchell season man he went out there and got leg sleeves arm sleeves this is not the day this picture right here is not the davion mitchell that we see nowadays you're going to win you ain't watch kings games yet in the preseason watch davion mitchell now the brother has all of the tattoos and wearing a clean shout out to him he's also a little bit older than a typical young guy he's 25 years old which is i think the same age as dianne fox and of course dianne fox winning the league for 100 years and davion spending the league for two uh so or i'm sorry three um so it is a bit weird when you see like four-year players end up making it just because we're not it's not normal anymore you know everybody come in in 1920 years old but what they're saying here is that if there is a younger team that's willing to take a chance on davion mitchell then maybe the sacramental kinks can flip him for a more veteran backup point guard that can perform better in the playoffs cool cool idea i guess doug mcdermin the other day when i was watching spurs versus okc thunder doug mcdermin was getting garbage time minutes and i was so sad for him um great shooter and maybe he can get to a playoff team and provide that shooting for them i guess but garbage time minutes in preseason is nasty work whoo pascalciaco i have not talked about the toronto raptors much over the last off season or so because i have no idea what to feel and think about their direction um of course forever and we left they brought it in a shooter who's coming off a gold medal and everything but i don't know what to think about this team at all and i'm sure there are a lot of raptors fans that feel the same way so i've kind of steered away from talking about them much because i don't know what to expect should we expect pascalciaco to potentially be moved should we expect ogiannoby to possibly be moved considering he said he was going to test his mark regardless i don't know i remember a couple months ago he said pascalciaco at least this is rumored that he would say that whatever team you trade me to i'm not signing an extension you know so maybe that turns off other general men i'm not afraid of him if he's not willing to put his name on that downline yet so i don't know i don't know but he's a valuable player in this league he's a good player oh great player in this league but it's if i'm if i'm trading for him i need some type of commitment longer than the couple months of this season then we got kelly olynick uh yeah they just added john collins and they already have walker kester and larry marketing uh kelly olynick was really really good for utah jas last season but a lock jam over there in that position landry shamet is dead last landry shamet has been in the league like five years he's played for like five teams his rookie season now you could not have you could not have convinced me that landry shamet wasn't going to be a player that not i didn't think he's going to be great i never think he's going to be an all star but a high level consistent role player and every team has had him and then let him go after a season it's just one of those guys is going to move the ton like knock him broad than nowadays all right so that's one player that every team should have on the trading block i'm very interested to see what y'all think your favorite team who not that not who you want to see traded because that's a little bit of harsh but who do you think should be on the trade block from your favorite team of course as always i'll be in the comment section reading and comment or applying you know how go
