2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

Yeah, just checked the trade machine and OKC doesn't have the salary to match for Collins.

The only center we have that could work for them is Kessler, and I don't think they are trading anything significant for a temp replacement center and we're not giving up Kessler for anything less than significant.

Just for fun though... Kessler for Cason Wallace works....

With Zion out I wonder if NO gets more aggressive on Kessler too. Between LA, NOP I think we could get a decent offer if we really wanted to.
 
Kessler is definitely our best trade asset and I would set the line at one good pick. I wouldn't even care for two more crappy picks. In fact, I'd be interested in moving our crappy picks sooner rather than later.
 
How can the Jazz get their pick back from OKC? Is Kessler straight across for it underselling? If so, what would be fair to ask to even out the value?

I understand the Jazz can just keep tanking to duck the protections, but the Jazz have swap rights to both (either) the Cavs’ and Wolves’ picks in 2026 so it has way more value to the Jazz than it does the Thunder (I wonder if the Wolves just don’t have enough juice in the WC with an aging Gobert and Conley + not a lot coming down the pipe for Minny).

Kessler for the pick is way too much. I think OKC sees the writing on the wall with the pick. I'd wait until after this year to approach them unless they'd do something like the Cavs pick this year (later in the season).

Maybe they'd want Eubanks but he can't be moved for a month.

If Griffin out in NO is feeling the pressure this season that is the team to approach. They have some trade constraints with the cap but there could be a deal for Kessler that makes sense.
 
On the trade front, I think we should be hoping for a Lakers collapse. They are realistic destinations for both Kessler and Sexton. I honestly don’t think Sexton has too much value. Probably in between neutral and a bad first. Still, if we can get some premium picks like the Laker picks I’d be willing to part with both of them.

I’ve learned my lesson to not expect as much as Jazzfanz does when it comes to these trades. We got like less than half of what was discussed on this forum in the Conley deal. I think getting just one distant, unprotected Laker pick would be good. I’d rather have the pick than 3 more bad firsts.
