2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

Trade Ideas

Key for Jarace OR Mathurin. IND likely needs to trade one of them Key gives them some offense while Haliburton is out on a cheap contract. We probably need to send them something for Mathurin, not sure about the status of Jarance however.

Sexton -> ATL trade exception. Talked about this a couple times. Good option if ATL does not find another use for their TPE.

Key -> ATL. Same as Sexton, maybe we could get something.

Key for Pat Connaughton. Does MIL have enough crappy draft capital to make a move here? They won't give up their 31 for Key

Sexton OR Key + filler for RJ Barrett. Please no, but I could see it.

Sexton for Klay....idk, Klay goes somewhere. Sexton -> DAL was a rumor.

Key -> DAL. Maybe we can get some picks? We can take some bad salary back.

That's it?

Someone posted a tweeter that a few contenders were interested in both Sexton and Collins.

Yes the fool who got our hopes and should be banished to a world without internet access.

This is why gunning for small combo guards is pretty ****ing dumb.

Trading up for a senior guard....

Like I feel a trade has to follow that. I feel like you want that guy playing right away if you liked him enough to move up for.

There's a lot of them in the NBA, so there is a good success rate when you draft them. But the other side of that is that there's a lot of them and nobody needs them. AA is going to pay for his father's sins who held onto them for too long. It's honestly really hard to think of spots for either of them. Key is a bit easier because he is cheap labor for the next two years.

I think IND maybe makes the most sense for Key. But there's a good chance we're putting in extra draft capital for Walker or Mathurin.

ATL we just gotta hope they don't find a better use of their TPE. But I think they're going to try to give NAW the bag in a S&T or go for Aldama in S&T.

Charlotte has the 33rd and 34th pick.

They want to clean up their image. They need another adult in the room. Take John Collins.

I had him high on my board, but the pressure is definitely on to play him early, the runway is limited for older players. I guess it worked for McCollum to wait, but I don't think that's a path to success. Obviously I loved Kas/Jase, but I think it's just better to draft young or a different position here unless you already have a plan to clear the logjam.

Not white enough

He comes from a military family.

You know, the Hornets need a C.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I’d still try for a S&T for Jonathan Kuminga first, and then come back to a 3 for 1 swap (Collins/Sexton/Clarkson) with Milwaukee for Damian Lillard if he goes somewhere else.

 

[David Stern]

Have to think Keyonte, Sexton, and Collins get moved.

If Key has value then sure, but I would assume that he doesn’t. I’d like to see him for a full year in the Clarkson role, mostly for the tank

 

[Hedda Gambler]

With the Pelicans seemingly acting crazy, it might be time to revist to DJM + a pick for our veterans trade. They really have to be good now as they just traded their 2026 first round pick to Atlanta.

 

[HermanG]

So if Ace turns into the best possible version of himself... then we have to start shifting our mindset from asset accumulation and value extraction towards building up. If we get lucky and land another blue chip prospect in the next draft then we are definitely entering the zone where the sense of urgency starts to grow.

Of course this depends on how Ace looks coming out of the gate and how he develops over the next few years. But its worthwhile nothing that his 8 year clock starts to tick next season.

The Mavs are supposed to be filling their small gunner guard quota with D'lo so IDK. It's hard to find any team that wants Sexton or Keyonte or Clarkson, but we have to trade them.

I do not want Kuminga and Ace together

He's still out for a while, right? So this is a good Tank Move?

That’s fair. I can see where there might be some conflicts with the fit. Just still thinking about asset accumulation and I think his upside is still pretty high.
