2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

Yeah, why the Hell would the Rockets want someone who can shoot?
My buddies are as sick as I am on the nba. Could hang here but they’re rockets. They’re resigned to giannis to San Antonio and disgusted with Dallas. They want KD for a 1 - 2 year window. Only want to give up Jalen Green

Last one... 2032 heat pick and some swaps would be included. Beal gets a buyout and that is why he waives the no trade. 4 firsts and we tank our faces completely off.

Lied... one more. I want 2026 picks from Western Conference teams. Someone is going home sad and with new lotto odds... it has a chance. Pick must be unprotected.

Kings have a mess going on... I would be calling them a lot.
 
Jazz trade Lauri Markkanen + 5 to the Spurs for Keldon Johnson + Harrison Barnes + 2

I think this trade makes sense for both teams but not sure if the Spurs pass on selecting Harper.

Jazz trade John Collins + Jordan Clarkson + Svi Mykhailiuk + 5 to Celtics for Jaylen Brown

Celtics save a ton of money, get 5, tank next year with Tatum out (they own their own pick). Then have a younger team around him when he comes back in 2026-27.

Is this the type of move we should be making right now? Probably not but it’s interesting. We could actually get a little more wild and add in Sexton + Martin to get Jrue Holiday as well.

Jazz trade Walker Kessler to the Lakers for Dalton Knecht + 2028 pick swap + 2030 pick swap + 2031 unprotected first + 2032 pick swap

This obviously makes us worse next year. Maybe we don’t love the idea of extending Kessler at the contract he might command. 3 swaps and a premium unprotected first plus Knecht for Kessler is more than fair value I think.

Jazz trade Collin Sexton + 21 to the Magic for Cole Anthony + 16

Not sure this is the best value but we do move up 5 spots and it makes us worst next year.

Jazz trade John Collins + Jordan Clarkson + 21 for to the Pelicans for Zion Williamson

I don’t know if this is enough for Zion but the price would be low enough for me to be very interested.
I like all of them except the jaylen brown one and Im on the fence about the Zion one.
 
If the Jazz trade Markkanen to the Spurs, it needs to be for more than just a three pick swap. For starters, they need to either include 14, or swap with 21 as well. Even then, I think I’d want more coming back than just two mid vets and Dylan Harper. I’m not against making a deal with them, but it needs to be for real value.
That isn’t going to happen. We’d be lucky to just do my deal.
 
Brutal punishment for Kessler improving his game. No one deserves that.

Think I'd want more for Kessler tbh.
Lakers could give us more than that. They already showed they give 2030 pick swap and their 2031 unprotected first with Dalton Knecht for Mark Williams.

There's a fairly steep drop after the top 2 in this draft. Harper does look like he could be a potential lefty Cade Cunningham. If the Spurs are willing to trade down to 5 I might not quibble too much by demanding extra picks (although I'm sure Ainge would likely try to do so). The fact is Lauri will be 28 next week, is on a huge contract, and won't fit Jazz timeline.
 
I think GSW will pursue Cam Johnson first with a Kuminga S&T and then Lauri second. But that Kuminga S&T is definitely happening.
