2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Jazz get: 7, Dejounte Murray
Pelicans get: 21, Keyonte George, John Collins

What do people think of this one.

Pelicans aren't giving up 7 for that

Semi random, but what do people think of the idea of trading Keyonte for Anthony Black? We know Hardy loved Black during the draft but we know Mosley doesn’t love him. Corey freaking Joseph played more than Black during the playoffs.

I'd definitely do that

I would be all for it. I don't know how far Anthony Black can develop but its clear that Orlando isn't all that commited to him. Black has little chance of breaking into the starting lineup as they already have Suggs and KCP at the starting guard spots. As you said, they played Corey Joseph more than Black in the playoffs.

Orlando is in desperate need of more guard scorer types. Keyonte straight up for Black works financially. Would Orlando want more?

Could do:

Jazz trades: Clarkson, Keyonte

Orlando trades: Anthony Black, Corey Joseph, Gary Harris

ORL is in a money crunch, they likely won’t be wanting Clarkson included in this trade and would prefer to decline team options on Harris.

Here is a couple things the Jazz could add to the trade to entice ORL to make this Key-George swap or add picks to it.

1. Cole Anthony into Jazz MLE. If the Jazz operate as an over the cap team, Anthony will fit into their MLE and give ORL salary relief.

2. Sensabaugh for Howard. This would save ORL additional money over the next two years and give them a reliable shooter. They desperately need a shooter and Howard is not it. It would be hilarious for ORL to trade the 6th and 11th picks of the 2023 draft for the 16th and 28th picks, but it would help them win more. Don’t think a FO would ever admit to their failures like this though.
