2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

Thought you had to have sufficient roster space for whatever players are incoming in order to complete a trade before you make it. If the JHS trade was already official, then they had 15 and couldn't make the Martin trade official before releasing one of the 15.

Or am I wrong about this?

I think you're correct.

Sarah Todd confirmed they didn't have to waive two

Sarah Todd confirmed they didn't have to waive two

So there is a roster spot open for one more player?
So they may go over the waiver list and see who does not have a team

Thanks (though I had already seen this -- you mean the tweet?, or something else?). I just thought she was wrong.

But if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.

What does that mean?

I made the argument a couple of weeks ago that maybe it's time to think about evening out the lottery odds to further discourage tanking, using the reasoning that it's harder under the current CBA for big markets to just buy their way to the top than it used to be. There are a lot more constraints to just compiling top talent through free agency and players just forcing their way to preferred markets than there used to be.

I'm wondering if we can regard the incredibly busy trade deadline this season as evidence for this? (Even the Luka trade was not about players forcing their way to a preferred destination.) Trading is becoming increasingly important as a way to keep in line with the CBA's monetary policies and/or find value in the circulation of players around the league.

The biggest reason I'm bummed about JCx2 and Sexton not getting traded, is that it now TU will feel empowered and entitled.

Ignore function is great for this kind of thing tbh

I mean, we're now just going to have him walk for nothing while hoping he helps the team intentionally lose games for the next two years.

Unless you are wrong of course.

What does that mean?

Read whatever you want into it. Everyone else does.

Okay, but literally why would the Jazz offer Sexton a big contract extension?

Same reason any team would. Because he is really good and they want to keep him?
