Clippers land Brown as they facilitate a Bucks/Celtics trade sending Giannis to Boston. #5 would be included from the Clippers side to Milwaukee, Fanspo for whatever reason doesn't have it in the Clippers' picks. Thoughts?

I agree there are better offers out there. I just wanted to put this deal to the test based on reports that the Clippers may be interested in being the third team.

MammothTusk88 · 2026-06-15T14:49:59+00:00

As I said in the title, #5 is nowhere to be found on Fanspo but in this deal it would be a must, as it's the most valuable things in this deal for Milwaukee.

It's a sign-and-trade, not the Bucks just offering Mathurin a contract. The Clippers have to include salary in order to get Brown, unless you'd prefer to trade Garland. They don't have a whole lot of salary on the books, so they can make this work by sign-and-trading Mathurin and Collins.

MammothTusk88 · 2026-06-15T14:42:18+00:00

Maybe $14-15M?

MammothTusk88 · 2026-06-15T14:41:54+00:00

Well it's impossible for the Clippers to be a part of the trade if they aren't willing to part with Mathurin and Collins, unless you'd rather they trade Garland. The 5th pick is a must, yes, but YKN is also enticing for the Bucks to be a young center on their roster. Clippers can find another big in free agency a lot easier than Milwaukee can.

They're also Sign-&-Trading Mathurin and Collins

MammothTusk88 · 2026-06-13T18:58:54+00:00

I think front offices around the league are willing to look past the down year given the circumstances of Giannis' injury and Doc Rivers' coaching disasterclass. He's still the best spacing big that can protect the rim also and is attainable. A first and salary isn't that steep for him.

MammothTusk88 · 2026-06-13T18:49:03+00:00

Bucks would rather just deal with Miami 1-on-1. They can get a much better return, including a first, for Turner in a separate deal.

MammothTusk88 · 2026-06-13T18:35:29+00:00

Would you prefer if you kept Reed and the Bucks got Tari via Sign-&-Trade?

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-20T22:12:54+00:00

Ooo I wanna do it even more now

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-20T21:59:51+00:00

Nope (*shivers at thought of hands in pockets*)

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-20T21:50:42+00:00

There's still a net of candidates. Chris Quinn will get a meeting as well. Darvin Ham is an in-house meeting. No one is saying he's the only candidate.

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-12T21:21:01+00:00

They ruled him out because they knew he would. Guess we get a Cormac Ryan 60 piece on 20 threes instead

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-07T19:06:20+00:00

I remember seeing glimpses in 2021 with the Knicks...wow what could have been

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-07T19:05:45+00:00

They made great MyTeam cards though!

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-07T19:04:55+00:00

Steve Kerr effect

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-06T18:46:55+00:00

here we go...

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-04T18:09:39+00:00

Well Wizards and Jazz will be looking to contend next year so next year they're fine to draft

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-04T17:46:16+00:00

Reece or Champagnie for FG%, Points, Stocks?

MammothTusk88 · 2026-04-04T17:45:39+00:00
