2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

So... if NOP do want out of the Zion business. The market would obviously be just really poor. His contract is written so he can be waived potentially if he doesn't hit certain games played thresholds... its likely why he changed reps recently (speculation). You doing Collins and Walker for Zion if you are DA?

He may be the next Kawhi/Ben Simmons/Brandon Roy... his body just might never be in the right place consistently and he may not be as committed as you'd want. This deal gets NO two things they need and out of the tax. It obviously aids the tank tremendously but may end up being a millstone we have to carry.

I'm guessing most think this is either laughably low or just would never make the move... but I thought it was potentially an interesting discussion.

Let's trade for Simmons too. Sexton + Clarkson for Simmons

Would do that immediately. It's a gamble, but other than getting lucky in the draft the Jazz would never be able to get a player like that here. And Zion coming to Zion simply seems meant to be.

I thought about this when I heard that he is dropping CAA due to them not being able to negotiate him a proper extension.

I wouldn't want Zion as a max player, due to the health concerns and defensive liabilities.. even if he is able to take over games on offense and be effective about it. I have pretty low expectations that he will be healthy all the way through a playoff run, as that is exactly when he needs to step up and increase his workload, thus also increasing the risk of injury.

I then thought at what price would I be willing to take that gamble? Its probably somewhere around 50-60% of max for me... which I dont feel like he would take to play for the Jazz.
 
Evan Sidery (losey gosey news aggregator) has made tweets about Sexton and Kessler.

IMO, PHX is probably the most likely for Kessler. LAL, LAC, and ORL good trade spots for Sexton.

I still like my three teamer with LAL-ORL that includes Sexton. PHX has their 31 pick available and could include themselves in some super swaps as well.
 
Collins -> SAC
Huerter -> ORL
Lyles -> UTA
Anthony -> UTA

Framework of a trade. Collins would be a massive addition to the Kings and would help them beat out the TWolves for a playoff spot. Huerter adds much needed shooting to the Magic. Jazz clear some salary, and get some draft compensation….maybe even from both teams.

In this - multiple league sources have relayed to me that the Pelicans and Jazz were deep in talks which were shut down by Ingram's lack of desire to re-sign in Salt Lake City. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

The potential for an Ingram trade has been discussed before. God that would have been awful.

Maybe, but still a bummer that players are so against signing in Utah.
