2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

I'm probably way overrating Carter, but now that he is healthy I think he might be the best chance the Kings have at winning games. If his defense is as disruptive as it was in college, he would help that team a lot.

Is there a minimum number of games to win ROY? If Carter starts playing and completely turns around the Kings season would he have a chance at ROY?

Nah, Edey has it on lock as long as he stays healthy.

I actually think picks would make more sense coming from the Kings. The reason why John Collins makes a lot of sense there is that their balanced is way tilted towards guards/backcourt. If they don’t make a move, Carter Jr doesn’t even have much playing time if any at all available to them. Huerter and Keon Ellis are their best bench guys, but they are also playing Fox/Monk a ton of minutes so not a lot of PT available.

The soft spot in their rotation is the backup 4/5 minutes which are going to a combo of Lyles, Len, and McDermott which is horrible. If they move Huerter for Collins, they can now have Ellis, Carter Jr, and Collins as their bench pieces which makes more than what they currently have.

If it’s Carter Jr we desire in a trade, I’d expect we send back Svi/Juzang and SAC hopes they can be a bench player for them alongside Ellis and John Collins.

The Kings could desire Svi/Juzang in any event that they trade Huerter. Eubanks could also be considered a potential upgrade in a lower stakes deal.

I don’t believe anyone is suggesting dumping Collins for no returning value anymore.
 
Can we just do Sexton for Ivey, basically?

Would further kneecap us this year, make us a player for a capspace dump at the deadline, and give us a player that’s three years younger with upcoming RFA rights. I am not worried basically at all about the longterm ramifications of his injury (broken Fibula, meh) and think he has a higher ceiling (but to this point has been a significantly worse player than Sexton, but he appears to have been turning a corner).

Butler is once again demanding a trade and is open to playing anywhere. He definitely doesn’t fit our timeline, but if we could land him and Fox, we’d have a pretty strong team. A core of Lauri, Fox, and Butler could potentially contend for a championship. That said, piling up all these losses likely takes us out of contention, and acquiring them probably doesn’t align with our timeline or justify giving up our assets. Still, it’s fun to speculate!

John Collins + Cavs pick for Devin Carter + Kings pick + 2nd rounder + Whatever. Would the Kings do it?

Deferred the next year or whatever they agree to. I just want to improve the pick. It could be top 2, top 5 protected. Whatever makes sense. The kings may be reluctant but if they are open to that it could be a good move.

Say in two years it conveys. That is a quality rookie we could bring into the fold at a time we have accumulated talent and trying to win. Just saying. If they Kings want a deal that would be great incentive for us.

Just an idea for 2 teams with disgruntled stars that I could see happen.

The Pelicans get a culture shifter swap out 2 for 1 without dropping Zion for pennies on the dollar. If Butler could whip zion in to shape they would be mean. Also, butler is looking for a 3 or 4 year deal at less than Ingram money. Not bad.

The heat drop an albatross contract in Duncan while getting 2 former all stars that make some sense with Bam.

Both teams will feel like they deserve picks but i don't see either getting too much via the draft due to the caliber of players they are receiving back.
