2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

I do wonder if Lauri regrets his decision to sign late so that he can't be traded this year. It can't be very fun to play on a team that loses a lot of games, especially if we have a lot games like the GSW game. I 100% understand the draw of stability/controlling your own destiny. However, if Lauri gets traded at the deadline it's probably to a team that has a good chance at a deep playoff run with him on the team.

Nah. Remember how weird it was that Jazz extended him and Lauri didn’t give them a discount. I’m sure this is a factor in why the Jazz agreed.

Some people believe the pivot to trying to win will be this upcoming off season. I'm fairly skeptical of that and currently think the pivot will be the 2026 off season. The truth is it's probably TBD.

IF the pivot really happens this upcoming off season, then you probably want to keep Kessler and Sexton as functioning rotation players.

Based on how we've looked so far this year we are very, very far away from being competitive. Unless the plan is to trade off young guys and assets.

Lauri literally could't sign his deal until August 6...

I love Sexton. I love watching him. But I worry we lose him one way or another with this tank. Toggling his minutes is costing him some money at this point because he clearly deserves more minutes/opportunity on a team that is not trying to lose as much as possible. Have to get a good offer and I worry it might not be there as you might have teams that would pay less for the budget version of what they want from Sexton (big bench scorer). He's typecast and I don't agree with it, but I think that is where other teams would want him to play. My guess is that I would reject most of the actual offers that would come in for Collin if I knew what they were.

IIRC he had literally zero interest when he was a FA a couple of years ago

He was also a RFA coming off a fairly serious knee surgery and only played a handful of games that season.

Unbelievably nobody had interest in Lauri the year before when he hit RFA which is how Cavs got him on that cheap contract.

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.
 
PHO still has their 2031 FRP and a very bad 2026 first (opposite of super swap). Walker Kessler would be amazing for them.

They will need about 10 games before they realize a Plumlee is never the answer.
