[Philadelphia 76ers GM (Kyle)]

76ers Accepts.

I like Keegan Murray’s potential and room for growth within his role in Sacramento, plus I’d like to improve my lotto odds a bit for this season since I’m not close to competing and have my own pick in a good draft.

[Denver Nuggets (Kevin)]

My heart says no but my head says yes. I will dearly miss my sweet sweet keegan.

Gotta pull trig on this one. I got Caruso for free in FA so I dont mind losing him. 2027 is a ways away.

Time to compete 😈

[Milwaukee Bucks (Jacob)]

It’s not an awful return if you’re betting on Keegan, but considering we started with Sabonis in all this, I can’t help but feel like Peltz is short changing himself a bit. Don’t imagine that first to be high based on Nugget’s direction. Approve.

[Dallas Mavs (Kyle)]

I am very puzzled by the string of moves that turns Sabonis into Keegan Murray, who is fine, but what are we doing here. Congrats Kev.

[Dallas Mavs (Kyle)]

Approve

[Pelicans GM (Johnny)]

I disapprove - should have taken me offer of Gordon and 1-2 firsts

[New York Knicks (jsood)]

Approve. I like this for 6ers honestly. Keegan has gotten better every year and I fear that Denver 2027 first will likely be a pretty good first to own down the road. Getting Caruso, who has proven to be very solid depth seems like icing on the cake. I’m unsure what this accomplishes for Nuggets? He cashes in some of his best pieces and does this even make him a favorite to win 1 round in playoffs? And now his own 2025 and 2026 firsts are likely going to be even worse. Instead of being patient and resetting this feels like a rushed move that could set the franchise back even more.

[New York Knicks (jsood)]

Upon further consideration and talks with the league, I'll amend my approval to this being fine for both sides. Peltz probably could've gotten more if he'd picked a more opportune time to sell. I really hope Ktuck is able to make use of this 2 year window w Lauri on a very reasonable contract. I fear he won't be able to though with how loaded the west is and how limited his tradeable assets are.

[Orlando Magic GM (Sarge)]

Approve. Think this deal depends on how high you are on Keegan Murray but even if you are extremely high on him it’s still hard to find a way to justify this price on Lauri. He’s a proven stud on an insane contract for another 2 years. Whatever. Not franchise ruining for peltz keep grinding bro

[Blazers GM (Tyler)]

Approve.

Good on Kev for throwing his hat in the ring to compete. Let's see how he fills out the rest of the roster. For Sixers, it feels he could've gotten more in return for Lauri during the off-season. I don't understand the logic of waiting until the 2nd day of the season to make this sorta trade. At least he picked a direction and should be able to get something good for Booker to add to the cupboard.
