What’s are some realistic trades that could happen this season that would turn a team that is not currently viewed as a contender into one? (alien.top)

Obviously a James Harden trade is something that is probable (eventually) and may tilt the title odds in a certain direction, but what are some other, lower profile deals that might also shake up the pecking order of the NBA title contenders?

You can't win championships with Trae Young as your starting point guard though

Lmfao, they’re a 6th seed at best talking about winning a championship

Only one is like James harden to the heat and that’s if you don’t already have the heat as a contender. Most contenders are already set for this season and so unless something blockbuster happens I don’t see any team that’s not a contender breaking into that level.

Harden to Lakers, Clippers, Heat would boost title chances for all of them the same way. All those teams are a tier below nuggets suns bucks

Jimmy butler will slap the shit out of James harden for being toxic and lazy and choking

Embiid to Knicks

Still a 2nd round exit

Embiid to the Spurs would make us contenders, for like the eight or seventh seed

[–] cooldudeman007@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Scottie Barnes, OG Anunoby, Gradey Dick, Chris Boucher and multiple firsts to Philly for Embiid

When Kyrie asks for a trade, I think he could really make the lakers a contender

Derozan to the Clippers would make me reassess that team

OG to kings replacing Barnes. I’ll trust lively so Jerami grant to Mavs.

OG to Mavs in exchange for THJ and picks.
