    Reading through that mess, he was wrong on Cam and Atlanta wanting the farm for him.

    He is wrong on Brogdon talk since Brogdon cannot be traded until March of this season which would be past the trading deadline.

    Other stuff seems like mere speculation for now, some of it doesn't make any sense.

    When I read that the Lakers are somehow open to the idea of trading LeBron away I knew this was speculative BS.

    people were still asking holic for insider info and if he could share what he was hearing up until the banning

    even after “99% Bron is coming to Houston”

    some of the BS they make up is creative at times, I guess that’s what hooks people in

    Yeah, that's definitely a load of garbage.

    There is no way that one individual is going to have that much info about a ton of teams, unless he is well connected with an agent or two.

    It’s hard to believe someone would take the time out of their day to make up all of that for no beneficial reason whatsoever. And it’s not like it’s tweeting with character limits. This dude out here typing essays.

    But you never know I guess. People do strange things for attention.

    it can be hard to believe…that Hawks site has their very own holic, only difference being that no one there has called him out on his BS

    I kept telling everyone Reddish wasn’t going to get much in return. Atlanta has been trying to move him all year and has only wanted a #1… no one would bite until NY.

    There are going to be a lot of good but not really good players on the trade market (Covington/Gordon/Powell/Brunson).

    a lot of guys on the market are ‘there’ because of contracts, current or new ones in summer.

    Right and the returns will be smaller as a result.

    Recent updates

    Four superstars could be on the move

    Jaylen Brown

    Joel Embiid

    Giannis

    James Harden



    Others stars mentioned

    Jrue Holiday

    Khris Middleton



    Young players mentioned

    Jalen Green

    Jalen Suggs

    Okoro



    Players mentioned in general

    John Collins

    Kevin Porter Jr

    Tim Hardaway Jr

    Davis Bertans

    DeAndre Ayton

    The Toronto Raptors

    And more but I have to look at rosters to remember them all.



    The first four aren't getting shopped but they all put out fillers (agents) to see what the market looks like. Trae would be listed too but when Travis and Nate got fired, he changed his tune.

    There is a lot of interest from Brown and Harden to go back home. More interest from Harden than Brown. Rumor has it that Brown will stay if he's all NBA and a supermax player. Because Brown's market isn't the greatest, it's hard to get a dollar for a dollar meaning Boston doesn't want to lose him, period. Harden is beloved by Houston and vice versa. Depending on how their playoff run goes could say it all. Embiid is likely to stay but if Harden is gone, Joel wants to go to Miami to join Jimmy. Giannis rumors have been coming out too. Toronto and New York are the teams to watch for Giannis. All four of these guys can basically pick their teams so it's not gonna be a dollar for dollar deal. I don't even think they will get the value Brooklyn got for Durant in ANY of these deals.

    Jrue and Middleton have also put out fillers. Jrue been looking at joining one of the LA teams, especially the Lakers and Middleton isn't getting a lot of interest but there are serious teams. I was told that Bud firing was more about the best players for the Bucks looking to leave more than it was about Bud.

    Jalen Green been getting shopped for proven star players. They would ideally like to solidify a deal for Harden. I was told Sengun, Smith Jr, Eason, and their pick are the keepers, everyone can go for the right price. Houston are buyers. They have been in on JC, OG, Middleton, and Harden.

    Suggs and Issac are two players who name keeps being mentioned for upgrades from Orlando. Keep an eye on them two. Suggs does have interested suitors but I was told the price is high.

    Okoro names been mentioned but they want a legit big wing and those are hard to find and they traded all of their assets for Mitchell. Allen will ultimately have to get them their want but there aren't a lot of interest in non superstar 5s

    Raptors have everyone available for a very high price like it's loopnet. My real estate guys will get this.

    JC has interest from 5 teams, mainly Dallas, Houston, and Indiana. Brooklyn and Utah have interest as well.

    Porter Jr is being heavily shopped and no one wants him at all.

    Hardaway Jr is being shopped, not much interest.

    Same with Bertans

    Ayton was being shopped before the playoffs. Considering his playoff run so far, I expected him to be heavily shopped. Keep an eye on Dallas. They been looking all over for big trade win deals all offseason.

    What most of us care about is the Wolves. I haven't heard of their name in any trades so far. There is rumor that Ant is the franchise and everything will be done with Ant in mind.



    Players I am interested to see

    Capela. I feel like it's time for the Hawks to move him but I haven't heard his name mentioned in awhile but there was suitors like Dallas at that time. Keep an eye on Clint. I know there are teams who are very interested.

    CP3, I definitely think he's getting traded. Likely for FVV and a potential 1st.

    Austin Reaves free agency

    What will the Blazers do? I am hearing they are buyers but I am hearing they are sellers. No one knows atm. My guess is the draft will dictate that.

    Big rumors I've heard for what NBA teams are doing: Teams are looking for balance sheet deals more than star player deals. I am pretty sure the new CBA rules have a lot to do with this.

    I've also heard that teams don't want to overpay for trades after some of the trades that happened last year. Teams felt teams like Atlanta and especially MIN overpaid while the Mitchell trade was fair on both sides. Teams want fair trades.

    Teams are valuing draft picks more than ever with the new CBA rules.

    Lastly, I am hearing with the new CBA teams will be willing to go over the LT but not deep into it like GS. This is what players wanted because while this may hurt GS, other teams unwillingness to pay the tax was massive.
