Re-Grading The BIGGEST NBA Trades Of 2023...

[@iStealEBTCards]

Yeah that KD trade tree is gonna rival Gretzky’s lol

[@dustinsirios3144]

Depends on if the Nets actually draft anyone and develop anyone good. They should have a lot of fucking chances tho to do exactly what the Thunder did. Have infinite draft picks and actually make something outta them. They for sure can get some picks for Cam Thomas and for sure can get something for Claxton and Finney Smith. Keep Ben on the roster, you need to be at the cap floor he helps alot in making it there then become a team that can be involved in any 3 team trade and take on bad salary on short deals till you got im thinking like the Melton trade where dude is hurt and out the yr on a 12 mil salary...take on those to be at the floor keep being bad max out your picks and if any vet starts over performing ship em out for whatever u can get till your young core is ready.

[@WHITEPERSUAS1ON]

​@@dustinsirios3144 While true it was easier for the the thunder because of the cap floor. They could just hold open cap soace and take on every bad contract. So unfair

[@adddiz]

correction on the kd part: the suns did win a playoff series with kd, but the clippers' best players who played more than 2 games were ivica zubac and 35 year old russell westbrook, so it doesn't really count.

[@SportingLogically]

Good correction, my bad

[@urbaindelva7869]

You can't discount that victory just because two historically injury-prone superstars didn't play. The Suns still had to WIN THE SERIES, and the Clippers still played them tough.

[@Jcbob-qt8ov]

lmfao tf u mean it doesn't count?

[@lilgoofy2092]

Celtics got porzingis and holiday for a biggie bag a Netflix subscription and a pack of beer

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

My only worry is the age and health of Porzingus and Horford.

[@urbaindelva7869]

Health for Porzingis, age for Horford. He may retire within the next 2 years.

[@bullshark3771]

@@urbaindelva7869as a Celtics fan Horford will retire in the next two years. Porzingis’s health is a concern in the future and the Celtics need to keep an eye out for under the radar big man pickups or prospects. I was hesitant letting Robert Williams go but with his injury history I saw the potential benefit.

[@rome8180]

I'm sorry, but the KD trade is an A++++++. I don't understand your logic. Sometimes teams have to trade a star player. What should matter when assessing the trade is what you get for them, not what led up to the trade. And they got more for KD than perhaps any team in NBA history has gotten for a star player.

[@ItsJustgoofy]

This is a bad take, yours not his.

[@dwhitemyman]

I agree with this. Dude forgot the fact that Nets literally acquired KD with NOTHING in exchange via free agency. Acquiring a free agent star then trading him at his above average peak and getting good draft compensation would always result to an A+

[@krash22mini72]

You don't know basketball lol what are you 6? ​@@ItsJustgoofy

[@xavierb9061]

This is dumb take. Went from contender to trash rebuild.

[@_will795]

Man I remember when my buddy told me the Celtics got Tingus Pingus and a 1st round pick I kept trying to correct him saying “you mean they gave away a pick” and he was like nah it was a three team trade and somehow got a 1st out of it haha. Some random 2k trade finder type trade lol

[@tybo8377]

Tingus pingus 😂

[@demar.9k]

You mentioned how you wouldnt talk about the OG trade cause the last video was 2024 and then you forget about it entirely in this video lol

[@BowenChen-sh3sz]

He’s a jealous Nets fan what you expect lol

[@chronixxgaming8227]

December 31st, 2023 - OG Anunoby trade

[@mt_baldwin]

I don't understand your reasoning with the KD trade. Now suddenly picks aren't that valuable? Then why do slam teams for "over paying" for anyone? Like the Timberwolves Gobert trade? Use that exact same logic, the Jazz might just get a bunch of role players, right? So A+ T-Wolves trade. That type of thinking would mean "over paying" with picks just isn't a thing anymore.

[@shorewall]

He is a Nets fan, so he probably is more insecure of what could happen.

[@TrueGuardify]

Suns destroyed their future for a past-his prime consistently injured KD. Their big 3 look awkward playing together and have no real synergy because they're all the same player at different heights, just iso heavy shot creators. Trading for Beal after KD is especially bad. The fact they have no cap space and no picks for the foreseeable future means they're stuck with this time unless they find someone dumb enough to take on Beal's contract. All in all, a bad trade, since they probably won't get past conference semifinals with this team but don't have the ability to get much better.

[@JACOB11-trott]

Love listening Tucker but sometimes I feel you find it a struggle to stay impartial on the Nets both when they've done well and when they haven't done so well (with good reason its hard to do that with our own teams) The Nets for Kyrie trade has to be a lower grade now on a re-grade then a B as they got very little value for Kyrie but on the other hand they got fantastic value for Durant who while still amazing when on the floor statistically isn't helping the suns to a championship and the amount of picks they have got back for him that are trending towards high lottery means it has to at the very worst a A but surely an A+. Love the content as always keep it up

[@cheap272]

nets got robbed for kyrie and took everything physically possible from phoenix for durant

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

Now if they have FINALLY learned their lesson maybe they can use those picks to actually build a future.

[@robertj8451]

Grading the KD trade as a B for the nets is crazy to me. Considering that there going to get at least 2 more picks out of this trade . It has to be the most picks to ever come from one trade

[@kevinsherer6687]

Great video! Would watch more of these. It’s interesting to see what the picks become later, so earlier seasons would be interesting.

[@Clyde92]

The Knicks disrespect continues. You didn’t mention the OG trade which not only transformed the Knicks but netted the Raptors two foundational rebuilding pieces, which happened in December 2023

[@Trebirdies]

It’s criminal you didn’t mention Toumani Camara as an asset the Blazers got back in the Dame trade. He might be 1st team all defense this year 11:06

[@timskaggs3762]

Hey Tuck, consider these two scenarios : 1) The Nets have 12 FRPs. 2) If the Nets still had Durant, they’d have the same Durant Phoenix has now, the one that can’t stay healthy. AND I don’t think that ever changes for him, for the rest of his career. Too much age. The Nets made a great deal! Quite frankly, at the time, I was surprised anyone would give up that kind of compensation for him, when he could fall off a cliff at any time. Best ability is availability.

[@roslolian11]

Actually you dont want to be the team getting a kevin durant in a trade, you want to be the team signing kevin durant in free agency. Even if the Nets just get role players with all those picks they still profited from the trade since it didnt cost them anything besides capspace to get KD in the first place.

[@thecoolrich]

Bucks one was good! Now dame and Gianni’s are 2024 Mid season Champions! And they beat OKC Badly!! Also this year is Gianni’s MVP Years/ they showed that they can beat good teams

[@tysonkrehnke2835]

It really is unfair how my Boston Celtics draft basically perfect, then 7 years later trade basically perfect, then they get infinite bags of money dumped on them to spend forever. More titles to come I'm sure

[@np6263]

…

[@TrueGuardify]

Tbh something is suspect in the League. Like Jrue Holiday who is probably the best 2-way guard in the League rn got traded by the blazers for peanuts to a team with heaps of assets. Make it make sense lol

[@tysonkrehnke2835]

@TrueGuardify Yeah, got traded for 2 role player rotation guys and like a pick I think. I mean Robert Williams is good. Malcom brogdan was just a value guy more than anything. Someone willing to take like $4 million when they provide $8 million of shooting and ball handling. And 1 pick was not theirs and the other was not really that far out. Still possible they're a solid team and the pick is almost meaningless

[@alexescutia4805]

All that for a singular title so far

[@tysonkrehnke2835]

@alexescutia4805 True

[@jacobsmithr1819]

Moral of the story: Dont agree to a trade if Brad Stevens is involved

[@MrRapmaster19]

OG trade should’ve been in this video without question. Huge Win/Win trade with OG transforming the Knicks into a contender and RJ playing like an all-star in Toronto.

[@nbapbaupdate8338]

Kyrie-Drama 🔥🔥🔥

[@danieldadivas1383]

What about the Harden trade to the Clippers?

[@SportingLogically]

Yup should've been in here my bad. Granted much of that trade grade would pretty much be the same now as it was then

[@christianedwards6364]

Kd trade when factoring in the Knicks trade is amazing. Swapped and aging star for an entire team. After they unload anything of value at the deadline the groundwork will begin for a rebuild. Much better outlook then my bulls

[@DavidChinh]

Brooklyn is winning 40% of their games. They traded all of those future picks just to tank for a high pick this year, and they can’t even do that.

[@cheap272]

so sick of teams overrating young players and being willing to blow up their team or make the unproven young guys untouchable, been seeing heat fans saying they should blow it up and build around herro and the same shit stopped the lakers for trading for any stars because they think austin reeves is the next kobe bryant

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

Honestly the Lakers should trade Reaves for some picks just so they have a chance at a future.

[@Digitalfutureguy]

I was literally laughing when I saw the Celtics 🍀got draft picks. 😂😂😂

[@hoihoi8]

luuuuv these types of vids

[@Joe_Ma99]

Dallas Mavericks pulled off an all time heist w that Kyrie trade…Btw Spencer Dinwiddie recently returned to the mavs for league min and he’s hooping 😆

[@MarioG954]

I'm sorry but that Dame trade from Portland should be a D-, yes they did move Holiday for more assets back from Boston but still you can't deny how stupid they look now but not trading for Herro from the Heat. He's having an amazing season so far playing like an all star and could've used him as a building block for the future but instead wanted Ayton who's been terrible for them.

[@instantactionz4284]

“trading away Kevin Durant regardless of the mountain of future first round picks” is such ridiculous logic. Look at OKC trading away Paul George. They have their whole future set being 1st in the west. The grade should be an A+. Who wants to keep an unhappy star on their team and stay stagnant until there’s no value for said player

[@jumblesgaming]

Not giving props on the throwaway piece of Toumani Camara is interesting hes getting better and better and I feel is definitely someone who's gonna be a great role player long term, hopefully with portland Hes a good defender who can become great and hes becoming a better shooter this year and hopefully that can continue

[@brandonough]

How can you forget to mention Toumani Camara at all in that Dame trade. He's a Blazer starter and probably their best defender. Hes infinitely more important to the Blazers than Ayton in that trade.

[@nofooku]

Jrue also said he was going to retire after the season. Idk if the Bucks would have traded him away otherwise. They need to get some value and not let him walk away for nothing

[@Iulznazi]

Where did he say that? At least according to a NBC Sports article in Sept. 2023, he says that he wants to stay with Milwaukee and to sign an extension.

[@ShimejiiGaming]

he wanted to retire a buck, not retire after the season.

[@cheap272]

wrong quote, ive heard him say this could be his last contract he literally just resigned for 4 year april of this year, he is signed until 27-28

[@DiscoBisco]

still love the kyrie trade

[@stephennewhall9760]

Thoughts on the Siakam deal?

[@MrMikeJagger]

How can you give Washington and Brooklyn the same grade when Brooklyn has enough picks to draft an entire nba roster??

[@XabzintheNBAGuru]

Any suns fans care to share how they feel about Beal? From what I see he's not bad, just not worth that much to be holding them back like that

[@Only1Originals]

Bring back Trade Rewinder!

[@lootingwithlogan8880]

Why would the bucks even consider taking that trade back. We gave up pretty minimal stuff. Sure could use that Jrue defense but we are bums without dames defense

[@HunterOneMillion]

the 2030 warriors pick is protected 1-20, probably not gonna convey

[@timmoth444]

The suns beat the clippers in round 1 with KD 2 seasons ago. So they have won a playoff series

[@KavariDevontae]

Anytime LeBron's name is brought up in a Trade it's Over he's gone..

[@jakelaponder7565]

In my opinion nearly every move the suns made was bad at the time and looks worse in retrospect.

[@sting114]

Suns getting Beal is a F minus , not D. Wizard could Have asked for another 1st from warriors in the Poole trade . No other team would have taken Poole . Wizard a F .

[@MCNiiCKsoSiiCK]

Love your videos but you cannot be serious to think Wizards will be better than Suns in the next 5-10 years

[@jaysonraphaelmurdock8812]

Why do teams still do this nonsense? I don't think many of these MEGA teams have won titles.

[@kalyankonduru5831]

the nets picks in return for kd along with the mikal bridges trade, I'm sorry that's an A+ and the way u graded it doesn't fit how the video is supposed to go, its the value of the trade now and not at the time, also its an A+ for me because you are getting a whole roster for KD and that's 10 chances to hit something nice which I would take any day for an aging star

[@kineahora8736]

Only an A+ because the Knicks were so stupid! Bridges sucks.

[@matthewmagoba05]

james harden trade?

[@cheap272]

i know u are a nets fan so u prolly didnt care about them, but the celtics did not just trade smart for porzingas and holiday, also had to give up malcolm brogdon coming off his 6moty season (he got hurt and has played like shit since but he was a great player at the time) and robert williams who was also a fan favorite alongside smart and still is a promising young bigman like the celtics need despite his consistent injuries. I hear alot how people just act like the celtics got them for nothing when in reality the celtics lack of depth outside pritchard and having no center that plays basketball is a result of the trade

[@bpdmf2798]

All 3 guys they traded were injured for the following season too. They dodged a massive bullet and fell into a critical riposte. That off-season. Those 2 trades might shape the NBA for the 2020's.

[@jakelaponder7565]

Rob Williams knees are cooked you don't know what you're talking about

[@Krazyabe]

How the hell Boston?

[@bustorobusto6316]

You are bread 🍞

[@victorpagan3966]

Portland should have gotten a D. Traded away your franchise goat for nothing. Ayton is trash does not care about basketball and super overpayed. The swaps are meaningless now that Gianis signed that extension. Like you had the Raptors, Sixers, and the Heat ready to give you 3-4 picks plus young players. The missed value on this trade is insane.

[@cheap272]

pozingas came back game 1 of the finals and was at worst the celtics 2nd best player btw

[@DeepSweetSoulful]

Buck deserve a D. I wouldn't trade Jrue Holiday for Damian Lillard straight up. Jrue is a two way player, consistent floor general, and now 2 time champion with an A+ character in the locker room. We so highly over value offense. Lillard is a turnstile on D. Lillard, and most offense only players are way overrated in this league. There is a reason the Blazers couldn't win with prime DameTime lighting it up. There are very few NBA champions with one way stars.

[@mrbro1339]

OG Anononby?

[@MrTekbiz]

The NBA and all pundits were talking down on Kyrie because of his ("political" views and lifestyle choices)... The Mavs made away like bandits in gettjnh Kyrie. Look hkw hes carrying Dallas with Luka out.

[@alexhisem1852]

U missed the harden trade. Bad video

[@tomek6132]

Kyrie would’ve saved the lakers

[@cheap272]

i think they need a necromancer to revive dr.buss for that, kyrie was absolutely the best option at the time but they wanna treat fucking austin reeves like they are gonna build around him for the next 20 years after lebron retires

[@mv3507]

They would still be a disaster defensively

[@tommartyn524]

I’m a die hard suns fan and we need to blow it up. We tried and we failed. No shame but it’s time to move on from Booker and Durant. Durant is old and Booker looks worse. The suns keep trying to piece together a championship team with old pieces. You don’t win a championship like that

[@Deerjason]

The main problem is that Beal is not worth his contract. The nets clearly would’ve won a championship if healthy, so a big three still works in today’s NBA. If the suns could’ve had Jimmy Butler instead of Beal they would have won a championship.

[@tommartyn524]

@ I agree that big threes still work but I don’t think the suns would have a won a championship with butler. I think Booker is overrated and nobody talks about it. He’s a choke artist

[@jimgeary]

We can’t blow it up. Our picks are scattered like seeds to the wind.

[@lou.fortune]

I don't understand how "basketball ppl" make that beal trade... its the same as everyone who saw Russ not working out wit the Lakers. why would u add a high usage player who plays a role one of ur best 2 players already plays 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@tommartyn524]

@ if I was gm, I’d contact the rockets and say “ give us back our picks plus 4 of yours and a young player and we’ll give you Booker and Durant.
