2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

The Lakers will try to get in the convo for Jimmy, right? I’d imagine they’d make all/most of their picks available. I’m not tracking contract biz at all these days, but I’m sure they’ll need a third team, eh?

Not really a malcontent, he just doesnt like to play for ****** teams.

Who does? Well, Lauri maybe, but you get my point.

Jimmy is no victim. He's a diva.

If you are a contender and you get him, you are getting a guy who is going to perform like a top 10 player in the playoffs.

Why do people believe Jimmy is somehow impervious to father time?

He's nowhere near the player he was 4-5 years ago and it's only gonna get worse.
 
Jimmy is old, but he's still extremely good. He's still a top player at least for this season.

Diva or not, if you put him on a good team where he's happy he plays his *** off.

Why do we want MPJ over Sexton though? He seems super redundant to Lauri and he's on a massive contract with injury concerns.

I’m kind of over undersized guards. I think we can load manage MPJ rest of year. I also really like MPJ so that might just be a personal preference of mine. He is similar to Lauri for sure but I’m not sure that’s a bad thing.
 
I still maintain that my focus in trades would be to improve our picks, not add picks (though if possible, certainly add), so look at trading up from the Cavs pick by swapping the Cavs pick with another pick in 2025 along with our player assets.

John Collins and Cavs pick for Steven Adams, Jeff Green, and Suns pick.
 
I mentioned HOU as a John Collins destination and I think that still holds true. They could really use a backup big and Collins can play with Sengun. They probably aren't a terrible Sexton destination either with Shep disappointing. Aaron Holiday is not bad at all, but Sexton could be considered an upgrade. Backup big would be the bigger priority though.

Especially with Jabari out for 1-2 months
 
Something like this:

Utah out:
-Sexton
-Collins
-flex piece(s)?: Clarkson, 2025 Cavs pick

Utah in:
-two Grizzlies top-3 protected 1sts (‘26, ‘28?)
-Jaden Ivey
-Grizzlies preferred/worst matching salaries for Butler (Clarke, Konchar, Kennard?)

Grizzlies out:
-aforementioned garbage matching salaries to Jazz
-Marcus Smart
-two top-3 protected 1sts
-Jaylen Wells or GG

Grizzlies in:
-Jimmy Butler

Heat out:
-Jimmy Butler

Heat in:
-Sexton
-Collins
-Jaylen Wells or GG

Pistons out:
-Jaden Ivey

Pistons in:
-Marcus Smart

Some seconds probably change hands to even out/dial-in value for some parties.
