2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

[HadAnEffectHere]

Wasn't Siakam an unrestricted free agent the next season? That makes a huge difference, no? The reason the Ja!z got the deals they did for Gobert and Mitchell is because they had quite a few years on their contract.

No it doesn't make a difference as Siakam and Indiana worked out a max extension before the trade.

I don’t think we get Tobias, Holland, Ivey, AND a pick for Lauri.

That being said, that trio almost exactly matches Lauri’s salary.

Without the pick, I think it’s pretty close.

It does though. He shut down a trade to Sacramento by threatening not to re-sign.

Which he could have done in free agency, cutting his old team out entirely.

That was an epic Kangz moment. Starting fake rumors in an attempt to neg a player they were trying to trade for lmao.

I dont believe it was possible. Indy wouldnt have the cap-space to sign him to a max outright in UFA.

We're reportedly shopping Clarkson and Sexton

They could have paid another team to get them there, it was just easier to pay the Raptors, which is why Toronto got any value.

Tony Jones said on Twitter that the Jazz are going to try hard to move Sexton and Clarkson this summer and are open to moving Collins but his contract now holds a bit more value. It will take an offer they absolutely can’t refuse to move Lauri or Kessler.

Would Orlando rather take 21 and Sexton for 16, or Sexton for 25?

hmmm... would you rather have 21 and 25 than 16? I think in a vacuum I'd rather have 21 and 25. In our situation though maybe moving up to 16 is the ticket. May still get one of the guys you were targeting at 16 at 21 though.

From their perspective they don't have a roster crunch but might have a hard time having either guy crack the rotation.

16 is probably the end of the range where you might think Bryant/Fleming/Coward would be available... if all three are gone I think it means someone like CMB/Kas/Maluach has slipped... like something weird happened. I think 16 might be the preference here.

I think Orlando would rather have 21 and 25 just because their roster is thinning and getting more expensive, so maybe they think they can get Clifford + Clayton at 21/25, but it would be tough for them to pass on a guy like Coward if he's still there.
