2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

I think Collin Sexton and Kessler for Russell (dump) and Hayes (replacement for Walker) makes sense for the Lakers. Just how sweet do they have to make it for the Jazz to move Walker? Probably too sweet for their blood.

I highly doubt the Lakers give up their 2029 pick for Kessler alone. But if they do that AND remove protections in 2027 AND take JC off our hands... I would be more than happy to offload Russell for them.

I would even trade them the young bull Sexton in Clarkson's place if they wanted

If we take Russell he won't play here he will be bought out or rerouted immediately so we need some draft value

Right now, agreed. As we get closer to the deadline they might be more inclined to make something happen. Bron's window is closing so I could see them trying to retool one last time to see if they can get hot in the playoffs. Plus Kessler is young and cheap so he's a good asset to have even post Bron

This was an extremely well documented story. I'm not sure what you are confused about. He waited a day later than when he could have signed in order to ensure he won't be traded this year.

Ok and he couldn't sign his deal until the 6th because his previous extension was also signed in August
 
Besides Kessler, it is extremely hard to find destinations for our players. There are some that make sense, but there are better options for those buyers on tanking teams.

I think unless someone becomes interested in Svi/Juzang/Eubanks it may be pretty quiet on the trade front. I think Collins or Clarkson get moved in maybe a bigger multi-team deal where someone needs to make change for a $100 type of thing. Guessing Jordan's heel pain lingers for a couple weeks while we get guys some time but think we likely ain't moving him this year.

Eubanks is probably the only one I can see being traded out of our discount bin. He's established himself as an OK backup big over the past few seasons, will be getting minutes for us, and has a tradeable contract. Collins and Clarkson could be moved in a bigger deal, but I think there are much more practical targets besides them. Collins more likely to be seen as useful, but larger contract makes it more difficult to move. Sexton can MAYBE be traded for neutral/slightly positive value, but he needs to start playing better. Sexton is not beating the fraud allegations.

I think Collin is positive still. I just think you might get like a protected but real first and expiring money for him. The Terry Rozier type value... and I think he's really worth twice that if the team is trying to win and utilizing him the way he could be. I just think you roll into the offseason with a top 5 pick and re-assess Collin at that point.

I like having John Collins around. He's a pro and he dunks cool and he tries hard. If a big trade comes along in the summer then great.

I had mentioned trading Sexton for the exact same pick that CHO got for Rozier....which I think is fair value for Sexton. But I think teams could turn elsewhere first. They'll turn to Simons, Shroeder, Brogdon ect first. The Nets are probably wanting to trade their whole team rn.

I think we have to accept reality that there are no teams who are going to use Sexton the way that's best for Sexton. We're definitely not that team and I don't think that team actually exists. I can't really blame them either. I think he's probably overhated/undervalued, but building around Sexton is probably not a good plan.

I wouldn't say build around him. Just if we were trying to win you start him, allocate more possessions for him, play him 32 minutes a night. I think you are right about the trade market. Some of these teams are doing the Utah FAFO from the 2023 draft where they assumed they'd be bad. Only so much cramming you can do to tank.

I don't think Sexton has to be maximized per se... just run a few more possessions his way and play him the proper minutes and he will score you and efficient 20 ppg and make good basic passes. I wouldn't change my plans (like who I draft or trade for) because of him. ASSUMMING we are playing it straight and trying to win. If I was tanking I might yank his minutes around and send possessions to less efficient gunners... like we are.

Clarkson will be traded within a year. Look at my avatar.
