2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I dont fully know what to make of JJJ, but he's very talented and unique. He's only 25 years old and is a DPOY type player.

The issue is that I dont think Lauri + JJJ are good together. If I'm getting JJJ I would try to trade Lauri and keep Walker. JJJ + Walker is an insane defensive frontcourt and Walker covers JJJ's weaknesses (aka rebounding).

Could you trade for JJJ then flip Lauri for Trae Young?

Trae + JJJ + Walker is an interesting trio. I dont think Trae could get on a better team in regards to a defense that is designed to back him up and bigs who support his playstyle on offense. He would elevate both JJJ and Walker.

Then maybe deal Sexton for Holiday? So you would have:

Trae
Holiday
Sensabaugh
JJJ
Kessler

w/ Keyonte/Collier/Flip/Hendricks/Williams/Harkless off the bench.

Pretty sure Tony said McDaniels was the pick if we had passed on Azubuike.

We were also really high on Dort, despite drafting Oni, Brantley and JWF instead of him.

Damn, I still thought Oni/Brantley were great pickups.

They were fine, but it’s somehow always Utah Jazz draft selections that join horseshoes and hand grenades in the trifecta.

Stealing this idea from KqWIN but this might be a good time to call Orlando. After the Bane trade they will be creeping into 2nd apron territory beginning next season. The Jazz can save them $3.6 mil (+ tax penalties) by trading Keyonte for Anthony Black who might not have much of a role on the Magic. Black might be closer to a defensive SF in today's NBA than a PG but think he could be worth the risk for the Jazz. ORL seems allergic to non defenders but Key could cheaply fill the Cole 6th man role.

Someone who owns a storage/moving company in SLC said a Jazz player asked him today if he could ship their stuff to somewhere on the East Coast.

Waiting to name name(s)?

That’s literally all he would give us. Only clue is it’s not Clarkson.

If this turns out to be Svi Michailuk or smth then get a posse rolling and find that guy (BYO pitchforks).

If he teases by saying "not Clarkson" it must be someone who isnt a complete nobody.

Must be Svi. For a late second-rounder to the Clippers or something like that.

This sounds about.... 40 wins team to me. Is this what we are aiming for?

That would suck for him if his stuff is getting shipped to the East coast...
