2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

Who do you think Orlando takes with their late teens pick? Jase seems like a perfect fit, but he is small so they might fade him given their particular taste

They should draft Walter Clayton, but will probably draft another bricklayer.

I'd still look to sign Kuminga to force the Warriors hand

They will sign and trade him. We also don’t have cap space.

Isn't he restricted?

 

[NUMBERICA]

Isn't he restricted?

Yes.

They will sign and trade him. 80% certainty. That actually works out for us if we want him since we don’t have enough cap to make an offer that they won’t just match.

 

[Bodhi]

Yes. They will sign and trade him. 80% certainty. They don’t want him. They MIGHT have a two-year window and he does not work there.

Not work Drey and Jimmy he doesn’t. But we should look into what that sign and trade looks like for us.

Trade some of our vets for him

I’m not a big believer but I think we could do it. If they would take Lauri then that is on my list of how we might trade him.

It’s worth looking into finding a project that we can rehab value on. It’s probably time since we’re in the wilderness for the next year.

Not a huge fan either but we desperately need talent with high end potential, plus he's only 22 years old

I wonder if they'd be interested in Clarkson, Sexton, or Collins

So I’ve learned that Kuminga’s outgoing salary counts for half but still counts as full for the receiving team. Makes a deal difficult unless you cap space. I would still like to explore that angle if possible.

Kuminga is a strong floor raiser who is poisonous to playoff teams so that seems like the exact player the Jazz would not get.

Kuminga is not going to be a fan of getting DNP-CDs to tank games, he wants to shoot 25 times a night.

Think the Jazz can probably trade up to 3 with like 5, 21, Filipowski, and salary relief, but the Jazz would never do this. Guessing they just stay at 5 as Ainge hates making trades where he feels he's subjectively losing.
