2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

[Handlogten's Heros]

Ian Begley mentioned Sexton and Kessler with the Lakers but it was really brief... it was on his video/podcast thing.

I get the feeling Kessler is really not available right now. When we talked with Dan Clayton, who is around the team a bit, he mentioned talking to someone that really was like "why would we do that?". So if a Sexton Kessler deal with LA did happen I would expect it to be pretty rich.

Personally I am hoping we do a bait and switch were we send Clarkson for Dlo... we can add Eubanks if they want a center and take JHS and Wood to get them off some salary. If we can save them like $20-30M in luxury tax this year so it self funds the second year of Clarkson. They will have to be just fed up with DLo and ready to be done.... but I can see them getting there.

This is a forum. Methinks you are reading too much in to "intense feelings" about sports rivalries.

And you also assume people care about having a "good look". If you want to know what most of us look like... picture Gary Busey in John Stocktons shorts.

Alrighty. Well, you seem to be having a lot of fun making angry words on a message board. I guess that's better.

We need to prioritize trades with PHO, GSW, and SAS that will make them better so that they can overtake MIN in the standings.

Really hope the Spurs decide to make a move. Vassell is starting to play well. They can make the play-in if they make a trade to get another starter.

Does Collins make sense there?

Yeah, I think Collins or Sexton both make sense.

I think we may be the second choice for a handful of teams… maybe 3rd or 4th choice… so if a couple more pieces could move early that’d be great.

My hate for the Nuggets goes WAY back. Being a fan for more than the last 6 years.

Division Rivals
Close proximity
Posers acting like they live in the rockies when that "John Denver is full of sh*t" - Lloyd Christmas
They took Millsap
Dick-embe knocking us out of one of best finals chances
RSL rivalry with the Crapids flowed really well with the Jazz / Nuggets rivalries

Watching them suck balls with Melo at the helm was delightful.

Jock-itch has been nothing short of amazing and makes it hard to hate the butt nuggets.

Millsap was on another team before the nuggets, so that’s not true.

I also think to move Collins he will have to continue to play well up to the deadline. I dont think he's going to be an early mover.

5D chess.

SAC/HOU are the most realistic John Collins destinations imo.

SAS is fine, but all of their guys who be in John’s role are doing just fine. SAC/HOU have massive holes in their front court and it would be a meaningful upgrade.

I think one of Clarkson or Sexton has like a 40-50% chance at getting moved. Collins I think is more like 20-30% chance. I think Eubanks maybe the most likely to get moved as the salary and role match and we might settle on a second or two depending on what the returning salary is.

Cam Johnson likely the biggest mover and I think Sac/SA should be in on that. If the Lakers decide to be aggressive I think we may make a deal but I think they are shopping on a budget.
