2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

I read that Washington wants to draft Fears and is looking at trading up into the top 5 to draft Fears. Would you do #5 and #21 for #6 and #18? I am sure this has been brought up before I just didn't want to sift through 15 pages.

The Jazz draft Fears, Washington drafts who the Jazz want and swap? Same with the other picks.

I dont really believe that. I think Washington/New Orleans/Brooklyn (6/7/8) all want Bailey.

Let's say VJ/Tre go 3/4, and Utah has Kon/Malauch next on their board. They can trade with New Orleans and potentially get a nice return. Maybe like 5/Clarkson for Herb/7/Future first (possibly more if there is a real bidding war for Bailey between the 3 teams). New Orleans take Bailey then Washington take Fears or Malauch. Utah would then have it's pick between Kon or (Malauch/Fears depending on who Washington takes)
 
Coming away with Kon would be depressing when we really want Tre or Bailey, but if they really dont believe in Bailey and Tre is gone, I guess coming away with Herb/Kon would be a win. Would instantly raise the IQ/Defense of the team and the Jazz could start being a legitimate squad and move the team forward, but not enough to actually win enough games to lose the pick to OKC.
 
Is there something wrong with Green or just not a good fit with Booker?

I would look at something like

Markkanen
Sexton

Filler

For
Green
Sheppard
Smith
Filler

It would have to be when the next season starts when Greens new contract kicks in.

Do the trade down and get Herb Jones and Kon Knueppel.
Green is a terrible terrible terrible awful fit with Booker, and especially when you still have Beal on the team.

Green's limited efficiency, limited playmaking and big contract are off-putting for Phoenix.....and a bunch of other teams.

Jazz could do that. They'd just make an agreement that Washington doesn't want the guy the Jazz want. Be aware that Washington may be putting out a smokescreen when they really want Ace or Tre, just like the Jazz do.
