Third ApronNew Orleans Pelicans Trade Primer, Zion Williamson's Options, and Pelicans Future OutlookThe Pelicans are headed to the lottery for the fourth time in six seasons of the post-Anthony Davis era. Injuries have been the primary culprit, and they hit them the hardest this season. This time things will probably end differently. The unavailability has been too much, especially with Zion Williamson. His contract structure gives them an easy out, but moving on from him won't be that simple. They don't have to make any decisions on him or Brandon Ingram this season, but the clock is ticking.

Third ApronDorian Finney-Smith for D'Angelo Russell trade analysis + Lakers Trade Deadline PrimerLast night, it seemed like Dorian Finney-Smith was headed to Memphis. Instead, he's headed to the Lakers for three second-round picks. The Lakers have done a decent job at replenishing their wing depth since 2021 and have their most depth there in a while. I think they certainly upgraded their top lineup, but not sure if its enough to put them over the top in the West. Meanwhile, the Nets continue to build on their pile of draft picks. They have the most picks over the next seven drafts than anyone else.

They just fired Mike Brown in a move that was poorly received around the league. It seems like they're going to do something at the trade deadline if things don't improve. I'm just not sure there's a move that can help them. I think this team is
too fundamentally flawed, and I'm not sure they were ever even that good two years ago. They had insanely good health and took advantage of a weird bunched up Western...

Third ApronZach LaVine to the Nuggets? How a trade would work under the salary cap and apron rules
Last night, The Athletic reported that the Nuggets have significant
interest in acquiring Zach LaVine. I remember reading a report 3 or 4
years ago about the Nuggets having interest in him then, but they didn't
want to part with Michael Porter Jr. at the time. Now it appears that
their stance has changed and they could be open to making this swap
happen. I go over multiple frameworks of what a trade could look like
and preview the Nuggets' long-term payroll if they bring in a third
maximum player.

Third ApronDennis Schroder for De'Anthony Melton trade analysis + how the Warriors could still get Jimmy ButlerIt is the eve of trade season and we already have two trades set to go down on December 15. The first significant domino to fall is the Nets agreeing to trade Dennis Schroder and a second-round pick to the Warriors for De'Anthony Melton and three second-round picks. That's on par with what they got for Royce O'Neale, and I'd expect a similar return for Dorian Finney-Smith. They now have 13 second-round picks along with their 15 first-round picks. The Warriors trade a good chunk of their remaining second-round picks to salvage the loss of Melton for the season, but we'll see...

Third ApronI examine the Jimmy Butler trade rumorsI wasn't totally sold on the Jimmy Butler trade rumors from over the
last summer. He was seeking a one-year extension and the Heat weren't
budging on it. Now several different reports are indicating that he may
truly be available. If the Heat still doesn't want to give him an
extension now, perhaps he has a better chance of securing one if traded.
I go over the three main teams he's been linked to and what it would
take for them to get a deal done.

Third Apron2024 NBA Offseason Review - Ep 4: Philadelphia 76ersWhen it was reported that James Harden wanted out and that the Sixers weren't going to extend Tyrese Maxey last summer, it became obvious that they were going to pivot to cap space in 2024. They were limited in ways to significantly improve the roster with their payroll tied to their big signings back in 2019. It made a lot of sense to plan for 2024 cap space, especially with a lot of big money coming off the books and an opportunity to keep Maxey as well with his low cap hold. This wasn't the strongest free agent class in recent memory...

Understandably so, it's tough to make that transition after all the success he had with the Warriors. He needed a fresh start and will now get to reinvent himself as a great role player with the Mavericks. There may not be a better place for him to thrive than in Dallas playing with Luka Doncic. Although losing Thompson is tough for the organization, they could be better now as well since they can play their young players more. They...

I thought they gave up too many assets in the past year for what seemed like floor-raising moves at best. But after seeing them have one of the best post-trade deadline records, I had a feeling that they could have a deep run if the seeding breaks right for them. I felt the only team that could stand in their way were the Denver Nuggets, and thankfully they didn't have to face them. For all we know, this might be the furthest this Mavs team goes for the...

It seems like they'll part ways with Chris Paul and Kevon Looney to generate all these savings. They'll be looking to run things back with Stephen Curry, DraymondGreen, and hopefully Klay Thompson.

They made a huge step forward last season after bringing in Fred
VanVleet and Dillon Brooks and hiring Ime Udoka. They also saw
breakthrough seasons from players like Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green,
both of whom are eligible for contract extensions this summer. But they
have the draft equity and young players to make an aggressive offer for
an All-Star-level player. And if they can't get anybody now, they could
potentially have max cap space in 2025. They're well-positioned over the
next two years to make a...

the rest of the Western Conference also got much stronger, and the Kings

The only other player guaranteed to return is Tyrese Maxey, who is set
to sign a maximum contract with them this summer. Because of his

the flexibility to pursue upgrades in free agency or trades. They are

seems like they're set to run it back despite the team's aging core.
They already extended Kawhi Leonard to a three-year deal but Paul George

million. A team with cap space that really likes him could easily outbid
the Knicks for his services. Some of the teams being mentioned as
potential suitors, according to Yahoo Sports' Jake Fischer, include the

can the Heat sustain fielding a roster paying him, Jimmy Butler, and
Bam Adebayo top dollar? Both players are extension-eligible for maximum

Third Apron2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 8: Phoenix SunsThe Phoenix Suns went as all-in on this team as any other front office
has ever done in NBA history. They have all but two first-round picks
available to trade, but that may not help them much. Because of their
expensive rosters, they are severely limited in the types of trades
they're allowed to make. Trading Bradley Beal for several cheaper
players like a rim-protecting center and a point guard would help, but
there's probably no market for him. All they could really do this summer
is re-sign Royce O'Neale, and fill up the roster with minimum players.

welcome additions to the Lakers lineup in theory, but do the Lakers even
