January 06, 2026 Hawks & Mavericks Trade Talks Increase For Anthony Davis
Anthony Davis trade chatter involving the Atlanta Hawks and Dallas
Mavericks is heating up. Cyro Asseo breaks down the latest reporting
that suggests Rich Paul would be high on Atlanta as a potential
destination for Davis if talks accelerate, while also examining why
meaningful traction between the Hawks and Mavs has yet to materialize.
Cyro analyzes Atlanta’s financial calculus around absorbing Davis’
massive salary, how a potential Trae Young trade factors into the
equation, and why league sources indicate Zaccharie Risacher is unlikely
to be included in an in-season deal. With Dallas open for business and
under pressure to reorient around Cooper Flagg, the conversation is
growing louder—even as executives remain wary of Davis’ age, injury
history, and extension demands.
Catch the full breakdown on the Hawks–Mavs dynamic, where things stand
behind the scenes, and what would need to change for an Anthony Davis
trade to truly gain momentum.

January 06, 2026 Washington Wizards Interested In Trae Young
Trae Young spoke through league developments surrounding the Atlanta
Hawks as the franchise and Young’s representatives actively explore
potential trade destinations, signaling a possible end to his tenure in
Atlanta. The Hawks’ internal evaluation has shifted following Young’s
right MCL sprain, a stretch in which Atlanta went 13–9, saw Jalen
Johnson take a major leap, and posted improved defensive results. Team
metrics showed a plus-0.2 net rating with Young off the floor compared
to minus-6.8 when he played, raising questions about long-term fit and
ceiling.
This episode breaks down how Atlanta’s decision not to offer Young a
long-term extension last summer, his looming $48.9 million player
option, and his pursuit of a max-level contract have shaped the current
landscape. League reporting points to the Washington Wizards as a
potential suitor, with CJ McCollum’s expiring deal and additional salary
pieces possibly involved, while other teams—most notably the Sacramento
Kings—have shown no interest.
We also examine how moving Young could dramatically alter Atlanta’s
flexibility, including opening pathways for larger pursuits like Anthony
Davis, and what this means as the February trade deadline approaches.

Cyro Asseo breaks down why the Pistons, Warriors, Bucks, and Bulls could all emerge as potential suitors, how Porter’s breakout season has reshaped his trade value, and what a deal could look like from a roster and salary-matching standpoint.
Porter has been Brooklyn’s primary scorer this season, averaging a career-high 25.8 points per game with elite efficiency while also posting a career-best 7.5 rebounds. Cyro analyzes Porter’s fit with each interested team, the contract and injury considerations tied to his $38.3M salary, and whether the Nets are positioned to cash in on his renewed value.

December 22, 2025 Chicago Bulls TRADING Coby White?
Cyro Asseo breaks down why the Chicago Bulls are signaling increased
openness to trade talks involving Coby White ahead of the Feb. 5
deadline. With White in the final year of his contract and set to become
an unrestricted free agent this summer, Chicago faces a critical
decision on whether to move him now or risk losing him for nothing.
White’s expiring $12.9 million deal, extension limitations under NBA
rules, and projected free-agent value north of $20 million annually all
complicate the Bulls’ leverage. Cyro also looks at White’s on-court
production since returning from injury, why his contract makes him
attractive to rival teams, and what this shift in Chicago’s stance could
mean for the rest of the season.

coverage.

December 22, 2025 Denver Nuggets 2026 NBA Trade Deadline Targets
Cyro Asseo breaks down how the Denver Nuggets can recalibrate Coach
David Adelman’s offensive and defensive identity to better align with
Nikola Jokić–centric basketball. He explains why Adelman’s
read-and-react system thrives with high-IQ connectors, disruptive
defenders, and reliable corner spacing—and where the current roster
falls short.
Cyro outlines three core fixes to Adelman’s style: restoring the
connector role to keep the offense flowing when Jokić is pressured,
increasing defensive events to unlock transition scoring, and upgrading
weak-side spacing to maximize the Murray–Jokić two-man game. He also
dives into Denver’s statistical profile, highlighting the contrast
between elite shooting efficiency and bottom-tier “stocks” (steals +
blocks).
From there, Cyro presents a series of data-driven trade
targets—including Matisse Thybulle, Tre Jones, Ayo Dosunmu, Jose
Alvarado, and Nick Richards—that fit Adelman’s “slow, clean, high-IQ”
mandate while addressing Denver’s defensive shortcomings. Each option is
evaluated through salary mechanics, efficiency metrics, and schematic
fit within Adelman’s evolving “Euro Blockade” approach.
Catch the full breakdown for a clear, numbers-backed roadmap on how
Denver can fine-tune Adelman’s system and extend its championship
window.

December 20, 2025 Golden State Warriors Rim Protector Trade Targets
Cyro Asseo spoke with reporters and broke down the Golden State
Warriors’ pursuit of size and athleticism in the trade market following
reports from Chris Haynes. Asseo discussed why the Golden State Warriors
rank near the bottom of the league in rebounding, rim protection, and
points in the paint, and why frontcourt help has become a priority.
He also examined the Warriors’ reported interest in Daniel Gafford, Nic
Claxton, and Robert Williams, all viewed as rim-running, shot-blocking
centers who could help stabilize the defense. Asseo touched on Dallas’
openness to moving Gafford, league-wide market dynamics, and how these
potential moves align with the Warriors’ short-term championship
aspirations.
The conversation also addressed the team’s 13–15 start and candid
comments from Stephen Curry regarding the Warriors’ current level of
play.

December 17, 2025 Milwaukee Bucks Are Targeting A Star On Trade Market
Cyro Asseo breaks down the Milwaukee Bucks’ surprising deadline posture
as league sources indicate the franchise is firmly positioning itself as
a buyer, not a seller, despite an 11–16 start. With Giannis
Antetokounmpo sidelined and no clear return timeline, Milwaukee’s front
office is signaling urgency—aiming to reinforce the roster and push into
contention in a wide-open Eastern Conference.
This video analyzes the Bucks’ strategic pivot, their focus on upgrading
the wing between Giannis and Myles Turner, and the real constraints
created by a lack of draft capital. Cyro evaluates Milwaukee’s interest
in high-salary targets like Zach LaVine and Jerami Grant, along with
past and present due diligence on Andrew Wiggins, Dejounte Murray, and
Marcus Smart.
The breakdown also explores league-wide skepticism surrounding
Milwaukee’s approach, including rival executives questioning whether the
Bucks should eventually explore a Giannis trade—and whether concerns
over his true market value are driving the current “staring contest” at
the deadline.
Catch the full analysis on roster construction, cap mechanics, and what
this all means for the Bucks’ short- and long-term outlook.

December 09, 2025 Hawks, Pistons & Raptors Interested In Anthony Davis
The Dallas Mavericks are finally entering the spotlight as one of the
most intriguing teams on the trade market. After parting ways with Nico
Harrison, the Mavs have remained patient and repeatedly signaled they
want to evaluate the roster with full health before making major
decisions. But around the league, executives believe Dallas is preparing
to move several veteran pieces if the right deals surface.
Cyro Asseo breaks down why the Mavericks are now open to trading Anthony
Davis, Daniel Gafford, Klay Thompson, and D’Angelo Russell—and what
this shift says about the franchise’s long-term direction. We also dig
into which teams could aggressively pursue Davis, including the Pistons,
Raptors, and Hawks, and how those organizations view him as a potential
piece to vault them into Eastern Conference contention.
Plus: What Klay wants, why Gafford’s contract structure matters, and how
D’Angelo Russell fits into Dallas’ evolving timeline.
Stay locked in for full trade analysis, team fits, and what a Mavericks
reset could mean for the West.

December 09, 2025 Bennedict Mathurin’s Make-or-Break Season: What It Means For Indiana Pacers
Cyro Asseo breaks down one of the most fascinating evaluation puzzles in
the NBA this season: Bennedict Mathurin’s Year 4 ascension — and the
brutal reality of what it means for his future with the Indiana Pacers.
With Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner out, Mathurin has been thrust
into a role he’s never held: primary perimeter scorer, on-ball creator,
and the player defenses load up on every night. Cyro explains how losing
Haliburton’s playmaking ecosystem and Turner’s floor spacing has
reshaped the geometry of the floor, exposing both Mathurin’s strengths
and his limitations.
From his downhill scoring and elite free-throw generation to his
“East–West” overdribbling, defensive inconsistencies, and ongoing
friction with Rick Carlisle’s flow-based system, this video details why
Mathurin’s evaluation is so complex — and why his restricted free agency
in 2026 is shaping into a high-stakes financial chess match for
Indiana.
Cyro also breaks down how Mathurin fits with each of the nine other
rotation players, why Jay Huff is secretly his best partner, how the
“Football Play” is unlocking pieces of his game, and why this season
might be forcing the Pacers toward a franchise-defining choice: trade
him, pay him, or reimagine his role entirely.
Catch the full deep dive and stay locked in for more Pacers analysis all
season long.
