2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

They play in the west

My bad, I was thinking about Charlotte.

Definitely feels like a Jazz sidecar trade

We are totally going to be involved, but you know it is going to be Svi and Springer. . .

I wonder if the Pistons would have taken Sexton for free. They’ve opened up a $22M trade exception. Too late to think about that now, when you can get a guy like Nurkic you have to jump on it quickly.

It's the contracts more than anything. Everyone knows Clarkson was a far worse player, but he got snatched right up by a ECF contender once the price was right.

Tanking also hurts players value. In two ways.
1. The players play worse and less often and with varying ugly lineups.
2. Teams know we don't want guys like Sexton, Clarkson, Collins etc messing up the tank so we get lowball offers.

It is shocking how much teams dont value guys after a tanking season. I would have thought these guys had more value but it really feels like the league has a very short memory when it comes to evaluations.

If a player has an off year they go in the garbage pile I guess.

I wonder if springer’s and Martin’s non-guaranteed contract will be used to give somewhat cap relief for a price.

Kings trying to get Kuminga. Who the hell thinks Kuminga is the missing piece next to Lavine and Derozan. The Jazz must engage with the dumb teams of the NBA.

I actually dont mind it. It's a worthwhile swing.

If the Kings get Kuminga they must trade Derozan. Collins/Derozan/Rozier 3 way is still alive.

I’m also calling the Kings to see if they still have interest in Lauri. I want their picks.

Monk -> DET via TPE
Derozan -> MIA
Lauri -> SAC
Rozier -> UTA
SAC picks -> UTA

In the next week or two when these deals shake out I wonder if a team comes for Collins. Lauri I think would be an in-season move if his play improved and a team thinks they have a chance this year.

I think if we get closer to camp and they haven't solved Collins you push a buyout maybe if he wants. I just can't imagine we can't find an expiring money deal that is better to buyout and get a second round pick or two.

Supposedly Nic Arison is now running the Heat and Pat is sitting shotgun. So its a 30-year old nepo baby and the old curmudgeon.

 

[KqWIN]

Waiting until deadline has not been good for us in the past. Whoever we enter the season with we should work under the assumption that there won't be a trade for them later on.

In general, I think we've learned a hard lesson about trying increase/maintain trade value on a tanking team. Those two things are at odds.

John Collins to Chicago still makes sense and is plausible. Zach Collins and Jevon Carter or Huerter and Carter. Give us a second for our trouble. We waive both guys or maybe keep Carter to beat up on the young guys in practice. Feels like a steal for Chicago and a good fit imo. Giddy/Collins PnR with Vuc space? That's a HC advantage play in team.
