2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

Anyone have any lottery draft pick trade predictions/rumors? Seems like this draft has some of the most available lottery picks I can remember in a draft that people are generally OK/high on.

As deeply as I want a PG/#3 for Lauri/#21/2027 Lakers/young-guy I just don't think the 76ers would move down that far and I don't think 5->3 is worth it at all. The Nets trading #8, #19, Cam Johnson for #3 and a S&T with Oubre and Eric Gordon feels like the value both teams might do if the Nets are really high on Bailey/Edgecombe/Tre.

An idea that I came across....Sexton -> ATL. ATL has a trade exception from the DJM trade that expires at the end of the moratorium, so it's pretty much use it or lose it. It's large enough to take in Sexton. This would give the Jazz the potential to be a cap space team. We're right at the cap as it stands, and trading Sexton+waiving Martin+Svi would clear ~$30M in cap space. There's not anyone I would really go for unless you want to give Kuminga a Paul Reed type deal, but it would open up more opportunity for salary dumps and I think we'd get more compensation that way than a straight Sexton trade. Could obviously combine the salary dumps into one trade.

You overlook Resslers love for money here. Maybe if his son goes "please daddy", but other than that he is just happy to save a few bucks.
 
It would be funny to do the Sexton deal and then give Kuminga the Paul Reed special. First year guaranteed on huge money, second and third only guaranteed if playoffs are made. Would be a nice middle finger the Warriors. Otherwise I’m not sure who we would target with cap space.

Jake Laravia seems like a decent young player? Maybe we just aim for enough space to take Porzingis in outright and whatever Boston has in draft compensation to take his contract. We’d be pretty close I think.

Salary dumps should be pretty fruitful this year since lots of teams need help and outside of Brooklyn there is none. Last few years it has been seconds for space. This year may be different.
 
With regard to KD... my guess is there is a deal in place with the Spurs that is basically close and that they are kicking the tires with a few other teams to see what is there but to also push the Spurs a bit higher. The reporting has been pretty specific on the Spurs with regard to the players involved (coming from Gambo in Phoenix). They also are likely looking at what they can spin out of the deal for something they may like better.

Eventually I think he is a Spur.

Wonder if PHX could make a play for Kessler with all the stuff they get. I’m pretty sure it was reported that they wanted a center out of this right?

Yeah @Elizah Huge and I had some Phoenix deals with Walker.

#14 and the 2026 or 2027 Hawks pick for Walker and 21?
