The Golden State Warriors are considering trading Draymond Green, a franchise legend, with a proposed deal involving Sacramento Kings' Domantas Sabonis, which would significantly alter the team's frontcourt dynamics and raise questions about on-court fit and team strategy.
The San Diego Padres are considering a trade proposal to acquire Chicago White Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet, a 200-strikeout ace, to bolster their rotation. The proposed deal would involve sending top prospects Ethan Salas, Kash Mayfield, and Kavares Tears to Chicago. With the Padres' competitive window potentially closing by 2025, they are seeking cost-effective, multi-year pitching options to remain contenders. However, the trade would further deplete their farm system, which has already been weakened by previous trades.
The Cincinnati Bengals are reportedly considering trading wide receiver Tee Higgins, with a proposed deal to the Tennessee Titans for the 38th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft gaining attention. The Titans, led by former Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan, have the cap space to potentially secure a long-term deal for Higgins, addressing a position of need and providing their quarterback with a future go-to option. Whether this trade would be fair for both sides remains a topic of discussion.
The Boston Celtics attempted to trade Malcolm Brogdon to the Los Angeles Clippers, but the deal fell through. In response, a proposal has been made to trade Brogdon to the San Antonio Spurs in exchange for Keldon Johnson and three future first-round picks. Johnson, a promising 23-year-old wing, would provide depth for the Celtics and has shown scoring ability on a bad team. However, trading Brogdon would leave the Celtics thin at the guard position and require giving up valuable future assets. The trade is worth pursuing only if the relationship with Brogdon cannot be repaired.
The New York Knicks could potentially land All-Star wing Brandon Ingram from the New Orleans Pelicans in a three-team trade proposal. The Pelicans are reportedly obsessed with drafting point guard Scoot Henderson and are willing to trade Ingram to secure a top 2-3 pick. The Knicks could step in to facilitate the deal and use their assets to acquire Ingram, who would be a valuable addition to their roster.
The Portland Trail Blazers are reportedly willing to trade their third overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft for a difference-making veteran who can help Damian Lillard make a legitimate playoff push in 2023-24. Bleacher Report's Zach Buckley proposed a "realistic" trade that would see the Blazers land Toronto's Pascal Siakam in exchange for Anfernee Simons, the No. 3 pick, Nassir Little, and Keon Johnson. Siakam is a two-time All-NBA forward who could be a great co-star for Lillard and help cover up some of his defensive weaknesses.
Peter Schrager of NFL Network has proposed a trade between the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets involving Aaron Rodgers. The Jets would receive Rodgers, while the Packers would get No. 42 overall and No. 112 overall in 2023 and 2025 conditional second-round pick. The 2025 pick would become a first-rounder if Rodgers played eight or more games in 2023 and 2024. The Packers would prefer the 13th overall pick this year, but waiting on a potential first-rounder makes sense as a compromise for both teams.
Peter King of NBC Sports has proposed a trade deal between the Green Bay Packers and New York Jets for Aaron Rodgers, which includes a second-round pick this year and a conditional pick in 2025 based on whether Rodgers plays football for the Jets in 2024. If he plays 100 snaps or more in 2024, the Jets give Green Bay a first-round pick. If Rodgers plays less than that, the Jets give Green Bay a third-rounder. The deal does not include the Jets' 2023 first-round pick.
