Who Will Be The Next Superstar To Be Traded?

Dame has finally moved on, but what NBA players are going to break up with their teams next? Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, plus a few others feature in this speculation. #basketball #commentary #nba

I wonder if Zach Lavine is an option as he was getting shopped around. Great video keep it up. Also, please continue the Spurs series if you can.

Bro really sneaked in Luka in a bulls jersey just cuz of the cope

[@clutchdunks]

Idk bro, I play 2k in mycareer and mynba, Luka eventually plays on the bulls (just a reach)

Crazy we’re in a state of the nba rn where a guy can go to 2 finals in 4 years and people still look and be like yea I don’t think it would be impossible for him to leave😭

[@bensimmonsfor3332]

Appreciate you putting Luka in a bulls jersey. Our cope is real

[@nocturne311]

Embiid 100%. Edit: Thanks for the great content as always, Rusty. 👍

[@surenick3460]

I wonder if Trae Young is a sneaky possibility. Like with Luka and the Mavs (though less risky), the move the Hawks FO made with the new coach feels like the last pitch to make the team work. I also imagine Trae will have a lower price tag than the stars on this list so a deal could be made more easily than for say Embiid where there would be a lot more haggling.

[@hoebertrabeck1621]

trea is no superstar and never will be.

[@fortynights1513]

@@hoebertrabeck1621I’d agree with that. That said could Trae be traded?

The west is so strong this year and the Mavs so poor, I think they have a 0%chance of finishing top 6. They're ceiling is a first round exit

[@picassojulien899]

I really think joel has to go asap. The sixers front office just…. While he had been injured, he deserves a player who doesn’t have the team go through turmoil. He really needs stability

[@somregularguy]

True I still can’t forget how they chose Ben Simmons opinion and comfort on the court over what Embid wanted which was to keep Jimmy Butler over Tobias Harris, if I’m Embid I’m staying loyal but if I see a regression in effort of making a good team I’m leaving

[@patrickhanlon2325]

No one is ever one borderline retired player away from a championship

[@bbcpfghs]

I think the one team that is a serious contender, if they want to be, in the Joel Embiid sweepstakes that I haven’t seen any one talk about is the Thunder

[@patrickhanlon2325]

But they have Chet

[@bbcpfghs]

@@patrickhanlon2325 I fully believe Chet and Joel could play together and possibly thrive. They both can be respectable jump shooters at the least so spacing shouldn’t be a huge issue and are versatile enough defensively to dominate. I also think the league is trending back to playing with more “traditional” power forwards in the sense that they’re bigger but updated with a little more range and more defensive versatility, but not a small ball 4. I’d imagine the big young asset in the trade is either Josh Giddy or J-Dub (I’d try everything to not trade J-Dub if I were the Thunder tho), Bertans and Dort for the contracts, If there isn’t a third team involved, Poku so the Sixers can say they got someone else with “theoretical” potential and 3-5 first round picks depending on the actual players being traded. I think the biggest issue is the lack of potential bigs Philly could get in return but I picture this as a three team trade where Philly gets a promising youngish big and whoever that team is gets more draft assets from the Thunder and a salary filler from Philly. I’m thinking someone like Onyeka Okongwu if the Hawks season isn’t going well or something along those lines. The more that I think about this the more it makes sense to me but maybe I’m just delusional lmao

[@patrickhanlon2325]

@@bbcpfghs I don't hate it honestly. Wouldn't be the move I'd make if I were the thunder but I like your logic

[@bbcpfghs]

@@patrickhanlon2325 yea I definitely don’t think this is the most plausible outcome for a Joel trade but I’ve just been surprised that no one has even mentioned the Thunder (at least that I’ve seen) with all the assets they have.

[@OugiEin]

Also depends on who you actually value as a Superstar. I personally only have a list of 10

[@fastbreakreport]

Kawhi Leonard if the Clippers aren't a top 3 seed by the trade deadline.

[@jordanfilippi8191]

Another reminder for Rusty that the spurs series hasnt released any new episodes.

[@Thebestoutthere]

Luka’s too young to ask for a trade. Embiid should definitely be the next one to ask for a trade. Just build around maxey because sixers ain’t winning regardless. Jazz are smart for trading gobert and mitchell earlier. Teams should think that way (unless you have the top 2 players today).

[@cesarlaflame]

I love the fact that Jimmy pictures are of him are emo

[@rob.j.g]

The thumbnail is the solution: Embiid and Luka together! Or I don’t know, I’m casual as heck.

[@sama2086]

Embiid is coming to NYK 🎉

[@jaymoney522]

we can dream i guess....

[@bedstuy4_l895]

Whenever I see that the Clippers should blow the team up the first reply is always that they need to sell tickets when they move to their new arena next season, and I couldn’t disagree more. Their owner Steve Ballmer is one of the richest men on planet earth. He needs to do what is best for the team which would also save him a lot of money.

[@fortynights1513]

If that wasn’t a factor, could they have blown it up by now?

[@Riyeko23]

Borderline superstars being traded is more likely Trae Young,Ja Morant,etc but I could see Luka or Embiid getting traded in the next few years I would say 2024 at the earliest but who knows

[@jeffwishes]

Mitchell for Grimes RJ & picks

[@fortynights1513]

I could see one of these players being moved if a team that thinks they have a chance has a big trade package. You mention Kawhi and Paul George at the beginning. I think at least one could be traded; I don’t know how much of a chance the Clippers have right now. But the question would be what would they get?

[@clutchdunks]

I mean if 2k "casually" puts Luka on the bulls in myleague, then it could be a possibility (just reaching)

[@FunNHonesty]

The Knicks will make a big trade this season, not off-season. They have to, not even as a Knicks fan. They have 4 first round picks but they do not have enough roster space to sign them all. They need to unload some of those picks. Especially because they are a playoff team so they will just get multiple low first round picks.

[@imdbtruth]

Bet you Luka doesn't get traded within the next 2 seasons! I don't think Luka wants to leave Dallas ever, but if they royally fuck things up, then eventually he'll need to go to an organization that can put a more competitive team around him. I think Dallas has 3-4 more seasons to build a real contender before Luka will need to move on.

[@timmytheinventor4746]

Embiid. After that I'd say Luka.

[@yoshikigrg8]

Embiid is next and we all know it.

[@shawnoconnor9692]

Luka aint leaving dallas. The euro dudes just dont jump ship.

[@jamespuso1627]

Truthfully I think after Embiid I still wouldn't be surprised if it's Giannis. The Dame trade strengthened their window to win another title but it didn't lengthen it since Dame and Jrue are the same age. Ya never know, he's not Dirk and he isn't content to retire with 1 team no matter what after just 1 title but maybe after 2 or 3 he is or maybe with advancements and sports medicine and conditioning practices that window is longer than we think and LeBron length careers are the new norm but either way...ya know.

[@patrickhanlon2325]

Could see Giannis not resign but no chance he asks for a trade imo

[@moisturizedkev]

The Bulls are going to blow it up and trade ZL at the deadline

[@nintendogamer4703]

If Luka does move in a trade, it'll be when his contract expires in 2026, and he exercises his player option in a sign and trade.

[@mt_baldwin]

Embiid probably. To where though? Who knows. To Embiids second choice after he demands the Heat or Knicks and the 76ers dig in their heels and say no. So... The Mavericks probably.

Luka needs to trade his team. The Mavs are hot boo boo ass.

[@arnold17]

If the Celtics don’t win this year I can see Luka. Brown, White and a bunch of picks will be a good place to start. They get an all star player in Brown and a all defensive team player to pair with Kyrie in the back court. With the draft capital they acquire and the rest of their assets they can go hunting for a front court.

[@highfalutinman]

There is nothing on the Celtics roster bar Tatum who'd interest the Mavs. They have garbage picks, and Brown isn't remotely worth 60 million dollars and every Celtics fan knows it. Luka will command an absolute king's ransom, only young players with potential plus a treasure trove of picks will get that done. The Mavs will make any team bleed for assets before giving him up.
