2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

[Handlogten's Heros]

The team who should be most down bad for Lauri is Raptors. They have no shooting and just drafted a great prospect who can't shoot. Let's say we get the equivalent package as Bane or close to it. Barett almost certainly coming back as the negative KCP salary. We saying yes?

I would have wanted the pick they had last night if we were doing that. If they wanted to unload the clip with 4 firsts I guess we'd kind of have to say yes.

Toronto is seriously like the biggest WTF are you doing team.

I would say yes. I don't know if Barrett is a good defender or not but he could be a big 2. Would open some interesting lineups for us: Clayton or Collier/Barrett/Ace/Hendricks/Kessler on top of all the 1sts we would get.

Pelicans want a word

I actually kind of love their team right now tho.

Okay. Let’s say they keep Lauri, but go get Dame.

Collier - Clayton - Lillard (INJ)
Williams - George - Juzang - Procida?
Bailey - Sensabaugh - Mykhailiuk
Markkanen - Hendricks - Martin
Kessler - Filipowski - Tshiebwa

Is that team too good to properly tank?

This is gonna sound crazy, but I think there's a chance for the defense to take big, nonlinear step forward. If that happens, then the tank doesn't look good.

Would have made yesterday very exciting, but it's not the worst idea to have more future draft capital. I guess the deal would be Barrett+Filler (Boucher human trade exception makes the most sense IMO) + 4 firsts for Lauri? Think I would have to say yes to that.

I’m torn on trading Lauri. If we can keep him and still get boozer, Dybantsa, or Peterson, we will be long and nasty and stretchy

I mean, Boozer and Lauri don’t fit *at all* defensively.

You dont think Boozer is going to be able to defend perimeter players?

True but I think what they are doing is just wild stupidity.

Still think Collins to the Hornets makes a lot of sense for #33

Yeah I just don't know if they get that wild. They are just so weird and so expensive for a play in team in the East.

Ingram
Barnes
Barrett

What is the idea there?
