2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

[Tremendous Upside]

Oh I have been annoyed for a couple years with DA's value based trading on some of the smaller deals. The biggest mistake of this whole rebuild was not cutting hard enough after teh Don/Rudy deals and that was because he wanted the home runs. Overall I am happy with the front office... they are far from perfect but a good chunk of it was understandable.

I do have a feeling they will try to keep enough stuff together to do the quick bounce unless they get real offers on guys.

In a nutshell: it was absolutely bizarre Lauri wasn't traded within a year of his All Star selection.

BIZARRE. It cannot be explained in rational terms.

John Collins to Sacramento is rising from the grave. Some momentum towards a deal is gaining traction again.

lmao stop teasing us

Deal would be Huerter/Lyles and a protected-first. The hang-up was on the protections.

I think Fox might be putting some pressure on them.

Haha, Lyles coming back would be funny, given his Utah bashing after he left.

Unless he was just cut.

Well anyway, came up with this the other day:


-I think we could take Huerter too and maybe send Svijang as sweeteners. So we get a premium 1st and premium 2nd for taking on a metric **** ton of negative salary.
-Sac gets a swap (hostage) back, which paired with Charlotte's fake-first equates to a real first = they get four 1sts
-Considering the above, five 1sts (none of their own), one 2nd, no swaps of their own, no good players, and a ton of garbage salary for a legit max player that pairs extremely well with the best player of the next 20 years is probably about fair. It’s pretty rich, so probably could shave a 1st off and be closer to fairness optimality.

Whatever.

Could probably reroute for a 2nd.

(Doing a three team could keep him there which might be meaningful since King’s fans are, apparently and inexplicably, crazy high on him.)

He's an expiring. I'd imagine he gets cut unless we can send him to a third team.

Where do you get this info?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

It's hard to believe a Collins to Kings deal will actually happen given how much we hear about them already talked about doing a deal, and not getting it done.

Scary Terry looks like he's going to get kicked out of the league for gambling.

HUGE win for the Heat as now they can void the rest of his contract.
