2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

Gotta think that Lauri Markkanen is still quietly on the trade block and could become a top target for teams who missed out on other trades leading up to the draft.

What teams make the most sense as trade partners? And which teams actually still have assets the Jazz should want?

Warriors? Spurs? 76ers? Pistons?
 
Okay. Let’s say they keep Lauri, but go get Dame.

Collier - Clayton - Lillard (INJ)
Williams - George - Juzang - Procida?
Bailey - Sensabaugh - Mykhailiuk
Markkanen - Hendricks - Martin
Kessler - Filipowski - Tshiebwa

Is that team too good to properly tank?
Will definitely see some movement either tonight or later in off season to unload some of our vets to clear the path for Ace/WCJ/Filip, etc.
 
I think without manipulation, this years team could have won 10 more games. True suckage was around 27 wins. Does

(Ace Bailey + Walter Clayton Jr.) - (Collin + JC * 2) = -10 wins?

I also think it’s going to be an especially competitive tank year so we really have to suck.

that's the team I want to watch and see them compete. I think they're still probably bad enough to keep the top 8 pick.

They have to commit to it right from the very beginning of the season. If they try to patty-cake their way into keeping their pick mid-season, they’ll fail. It’s one of the reasons I like the Lillard trade. They can let him fully and completely heal, while clearing Collins, Sexton and Clarkson from the kids pathway.

What teams out West are tanking? The answer is just us as of right now. The tank has received several nice boosts. Weak east has everyone feeling like they can take a shot. NO doesn't have a pick, Porty just traded for Jrue, Bucks didn't tear down... tank race has Washington (have CJ, Smart, Middleton, KO right now), Charlotte, and there will be a surprise injury team like Sacramento.

I also don't believe we won't pull the plug if things get close. GMs be lying.
 
Should we call NOP about Lauri? I mean we should probably call them about everyone. They dumb.
Just call em. They traded for Jordan Poole and gave up an unprotected pick... Sexton and Collins might be worth some swaps... i mean they are just swaps nbd.

I know they love Fears and Queen...but how can you expect to make the playoffs with two rookies playing big minutes? I'd see if they're interested in something Sexton/Collins. Want to fleece them for picks and/or get Herb out of this.
