2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

Coach Ellis said:
I don’t think that San Antonio is giving up the #2 pick. They might be willing to drop back and give up value in a draft that looks to have a solid top 5 prospects. . . especially if they get a win-now piece to go along with their top 5 guy.

Yeah but giving up Lauri just to get from Tre to Harper.. is that enough of a return?

If I'm the Spurs and deciding been Castle and Harper (two prospects I personally really like, btw), I think I would keep Harper since I think he is a better prospect overall. You might also take advantage of Castle winning ROY, and potentially having a high trade market.

On the other hand they might like what Castle does better, and be more inclined to stick with what you have, and I'm sure that as high as Castle's trade market is, they can get more for Harper.

I think you could sell high on either guy tbh. If Harper comes in and has some struggles his value declines. Fox and Haliburton became an issue for Fox and Hali's game is way easier to fit. I could see Harper struggling with the role and taking a backseat and everyone being a little unhappy. They should get out in front of it.

On top of it they likely made a wink wink deal with Fox already. So he will be on a long term deal for better or worse. I think Giannis is the play and if it cost Harper so be it. I don't know if Castle gets is done if Houston comes with Senguin and picks plus their prospects.
 
Kuminga is almost certainly done with Golden State. Saw they may do a sign and trade. John Collins for JK in a sign and trade. Something like 4/100M on JK. Try and make it descend. Not a JK guy myself and maybe Nets roll out a big deal for him.

Just a thought.

I wouldn’t love it, but also wouldn’t hate it either. I think Collins is a sneaky good fit for a lot of teams and could be highly valued because of it. Might have to wait until he opts in before you can start making plans though.

Unless BKN or DET saves him, he's going to have to take the QO or find a S&T destination. S&T opens up a lot of possibilities like ourselves, but I could see him taking a very large one year deal with the rest unguaranteed. S&T need to be 3 years long, but only the first year guaranteed. We can pay him a massive one year deal with the other two years non-guaranteed and it would probably be more or similar to what he could get on longer, guaranteed deals.

I think JK for Collins makes sense, I also think we revisit the Lauri option. I still think their picks are as good as ever. You could say the ship may have sailed with Jimmy there, but in for a penny in for a pound. They made a move to try to salvage the last years of Curry, and we're being honest doubling down on him should have been what they've been doing for years.

Even with his late season play, I think you've got be crazy to invest heavily into Kuminga right now. That idea is gone, but he is just what we should want as salary ballast.
 
Are there any trade ideas that we could do with Boston?

I think they will very very likely be looking to cut some money. I know we don't have a lot of cap room to help them out, but we might be able to help a little?

Collins to Boston for Holiday or Zinger saves them like $50m between tax and salary. Both guys would be going to other teams in a three team deal I would guess though.

Are you sure the other years don't have to be guaranteed? I feel like the trade schematics wouldn't work because I don't know if JK can get $46M to match directly to Lauri (not sure on first year max) and they may need to stay under an apron or two to aggregate salaries. If it was possible to do a 1 year JK at like 35M and then get Moody and picks for Lauri I'd be game... just not sure of all the ins and outs.

Honestly now that we know we arent getting Cooper, I dont think JK is an awful fit if we are keeping Lauri and trying to move fowrad, but again, if you get Kuminga in with Lauri, then you are looking at competing for the play in, which doesnt seem ideal with the OKC protection.
