Trade Decoder

Plain-English NBA investigation and trade tracker that translates CBA jargon into what fans actually need to know about cap drama like the Kawhi-Clippers saga.

Target user

NBA fans following the Kawhi-Clippers investigation and trade rumors

Features
  • Live timeline of the Clippers-Kawhi investigation with plain-English explanations of every development, motion, and filing
  • Trade scenario simulator showing how cap penalties (forfeiture, suspension, voided contracts) would change proposed deals like Kawhi-to-Raptors
  • Push alerts when credentialed sources report new evidence, settlement talks, or arbitration triggers
Why now

The investigation is at a critical inflection with arbitration possibly stretching into 2027, and fans searching 'raptors' are confused by 'cap circumvention' and 'Wachtell Lipton'; no mainstream tool turns CBA-speak into a fan update feed
