2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

I think HOU might be one to watch with John Collins. They are probably angling for a star player, but they have tons of assets of different value and plenty of expiring contracts. They probably aren't super stoked about the play of Steven Adams and Jock Landale this year.

Would Cam Whitmore+expirings be enough for John Collins?

Fit wise I don’t actually think Collins is much better. IMO the main thing that has made Collins more successful (and made him a better fit with MIN) is his improved versatility with the ball. Randle was already good with the ball and they actually need better on ball play. Right now Ant is kind of stranded with Conley aging and DDV being awful. Randle may be a little heavy and the ball hog side of things but they do need someone who plays with the ball in their hands. Collins is greatly improved but Randle has been multiple time All NBA playing with ball in his hands.

Either way, I think they’ve performed at similar levels this season. Numbers seem to favor Randle clearly, but I think Collins has played great. But as we know current performance =\= trade value or opinion. If that were the case, the Jazz would be in big trouble with one of the worst contracts in the league. I’ve been a Collins apologist and am really happy with his play, but I think we’re kidding ourselves if we think the Wolves would give up Randle for him. I won’t even bother looking at it from our perspective because that’s a hard no from MIN’s side.

If Collins actually did bring them under the second apron it’s somewhat reasonable….but they aren’t close even after this trade.

But 50m is still 50m

I’m not saying it will lol. I’m saying you can’t look past 50M no matter what apron they are in.

Denver has had preliminary trade talks with Utah regarding Jordan Clarkson. Any deal would require the Jazz to take back Zeke Nnaji and his salary. Jazz likely get a pick swap out of the deal.

4 years at 9 million? I think I would just keep Clarkson. . .

Would have to be Zeke/Saric/min salary for JC. Gonna be tough to work that one.
