2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

what is this crap. as homer would say "dough." thank god you are not the jazz GM. the only way you should trade lauri for one 1st round pick is after the lottery next year. once you know who drafts first overall (assuming not the jazz) you might consider trading lauri for the first overall. Without getting a great pick why would you even think to trade lauri for 1 first round pick. dont get it.

Lauri's trade value has declined for various reasons, no doubt, but Kessler supposedly being more valuable than him on the open market is a joke.

Don't get me wrong, I like Walker and he's becoming a truly great offensive rebounder, but he's also still shooting .547 at the stripe and averaging just 1.5 FT makes per game, which is terrible for a guy who only works right at the rim.

Walker just makes so little money that he has significant value to some playoff teams.

Lauri is paid a lot.

One thing I think seems clear is I think Milwaukee thinks Middleton is washed. Not sure Collins/Middleton and their lone first would make sense but would push them lower on the salary scale and get them close to where they could aggregate salaries. Would we want a superswap with our pick and the Phoenix pick?

I think they have their eyes on something bigger but the noise around their willingness to deal Khris leads me to believe they think he won't be getting back to where they need him too. We'd just let him rehab this year and use him as an expiring next year and maybe showcase him to start the season.

I’d want a piece of flesh to sell back to them for Giannis, so, if that’s on the table then big yes.

If you’re not willing to bet with me at least be a man and admit it and while you’re at it you can apologize to us all for being an insufferable know it all.

Perception is everything, and Lauri isn’t playing like a max contract player

Jazz trade value rankings imo

Markkanen: One lottery pick ‘25 and x2 quality future firsts.
Kessler: Two firsts in teens
Sexton: One first in early 20s and an expiring contract
Hendricks: One first in late 20s
Keyonte: One first in late 20s
Collins: Two seconds in 40s and an expiring contract
Filipowski: One early second
Collier: One early second
Brice: One early second
Svi: One early second
Cody: One early second

Fixed it for ya.
 
Interesting trade idea I came up with. Collin Sexton to Detroit for Jaden Ivey straight up.

I do not know if "Our star player is simply not trying because the team he signed a five year deal with is trying to throw games" is good for trade discussions either, lol.

This kind of makes me happy to be honest since my best case scenario is that we DONT trade Lauri and we start trying to win as much as possible next season after drafting Cooper and Lauri playing badly now helps us get cooper as well.

So his poor play lessens the likelihood that we trade him (good thing) and increases the chances we draft Cooper (good thing)

Let's say we do the Collins deal and have Lyles and the Suns are unable to get a Butler deal done and pivot to attempting to trade Nurkic. What if we send Lyles (Book teammate btw) for Nurkic? Saves them a ton of money and improves their C situation. We get two of those picks back lol.

We won't get two picks for that... even if they are ****** picks. It sounds like Beal is going to kill any chance at a Jimmy deal anyway. I think the best Nurk deal is if Cleveland deals for Johnson and sends Strus in the deal... he can be routed to Phoenix and Nurk with one pick goes to the Nets.

They should go for Timelord.
 
If we re-route Lyles there were OKC fans in my mentions that would give up seconds and one even put up seconds and Dillon Jones. I think like Dieng and an added second would be the ****.

that's another good target. I put together a three teamer where Detroit gets Sexton, Phoenix gets Tech and Eubanks (and $$$$ savings) plus some seconds from Det (they have a ton), we get the Toronto second this year and the 2029 first we gave to Phoenix back and of course Nurk. Gets them another wing with some size and another center. Can roll the salary forward or cut Eubanks.

I would love to take a shot on Dieng....Is Lyles considered better than Eubanks? I'm honestly not sure.

I think for how OKC plays and the kinds of "bigs" they want yes.

If they still have Beal, their perimeter depth honestly isn't bad. They'd have Beal, Royce, and Allen all coming off the bench so I don't think they have a huge need for Tech/other shooter.
