2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

This is one of the better trade ideas out there.

Genuinely makes a lot of sense for both teams.
Im calling that some version will happen. It just makes too much sense. Giannis will cost too much. 2 for Lauri is an overpay, but they have so many assets and it guarantees you a title contender for the next 4 years. They have a ton of assets to make more moves too.

He also happens to be the perfect player profile to pair with Wemby, Castle and Fox, and 27 years old.

It makes a lot of sense. Otherwise, the Harper fit makes for a clunky situation/fit.
 
I do agree that developing both Castle and Harper while Wemby is ready to win now is not smart, so I think SAS will trade one of them. I wonder if they would be more inclined to trade Castle?

Lauri to the Spurs makes a lot of sense. This is plausible, but I do think we would have to add some stuff to get Harper.

The Fox move signals they have some desire to be a winner now. Harper is a risk in how long he takes to develop and how much he can develop alongside a true lead guard like Fox and a developing Castle.
 
If I'm the Spurs and deciding been Castle and Harper (two prospects I personally really like, btw), I think I would keep Harper since I think he is a better prospect overall. You might also take advantage of Castle winning ROY, and potentially having a high trade market.

On the other hand they might like what Castle does better, and be more inclined to stick with what you have, and I'm sure that as high as Castle's trade market is, they can get more for Harper.
 
Who should the Spurs go for

1. One of the 20 best players in NBA history, a guy with a Finals MVP.
2. A fringe top 25 player (single season, not all time) when healthy and motivated, a guy who has never made the postseason.
