2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

[Coach Ellis]

I honestly don’t think NO is going to attach anything really valuable to get off his contract. Still thinking the best move the Jazz can make right now is a consolidation trade of 3-for-1 Collins, Sexton & Clarkson to the Bucks for Lillard and pick swaps.

Watching Rutgers vs Seton Hall. Maybe I’m wearing my Jazz colored glasses but I think Ace is better than Harper. Ace and Wemby could’ve been a dynamic front court.

The Clippers could use both Collins and Sexton. It's a tough salary match with them especially for the Collins salary. They also lack draft capital. Their HC Ty Lue was in the draft room when the Cavs selected Sexton so they are a team along with Bickerstaff in Detroit that usually comes up for him.

Bogdanovic's salary (the Sacramento Bog) works straight up for Sexton. He's also an expiring contract with a team option for '26-27. It could also be someone the Jazz could flip during the season for an asset. Maybe you could get the Clips to throw in one of their spare developmental wings (Brown, Baldwin, Christie, or Miller).

Powell is another guy the Clips potentially trade this offseason to fill the need in their frontcourt, but Collins' salary is a bit high to match. Apparently Cam Johnson might be the forward on their radar. They will have a future FRP to trade this offseason.

Honestly I think the ceiling for Ace is higher but it's going to take a lot of work and even luck to get there. The floor for Harper is obviously much higher.

Key for Black.
I still think Orlando might be the best landing spot for Key. Black wasn't getting many minutes last season but now they've added Bane to go along with Suggs. They could use someone cheap off the bench to replace Cole. Maybe Jazz can throw in 1-2 SRPs to get it done.

I do not want Kuminga and Ace together

Yeah, as soon as we picked Ace the Kuminga deal no longer makes sense.

How good is this team as presently constructed, but going for it? Will we be able to land in top 8 picks next year? We prob need to be like bottom 3 in case drop 5 picks again.

Honestly, the place to look for trades is simply looking at the worst contracts. Hard to find teams who will actually want our players. Maybe we trade for Dejounte Murray? I’m not sure that Dumars knows what an unprotected pick is.

A tank requires trading Clarkson, Sexton, and Collins—at minimum. Replace their shots with shots from Ace, WCJ, Sensabaugh, Cody, Key, Collier. Trading Lauri is the big question mark.

I’m torn on trading Lauri. If we can keep him and still get boozer, Dybantsa, or Peterson, we will be long and nasty and stretchy

If Ace is locked-in on defense and Hendricks comes back 100%, then Ace-Hendricks-Kessler-Lauri will impact our winning percentage by improving our abysmal defense last year. I would not bet on a top-3 draft pick if we keep Lauri. I'll push all my chips in on a different outcome than that.
