2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

This is the idea you kick off the thread with? That is ****ing terrible m8.

Are there supposed to be picks or are we just hoping the Spurs will put in a good word for us with the Illuminati for the next lottery? They obviously have done a ceremony with a guy.
 
Off season ideas?

Read the entire post I guess. It's at the bottom it says for the #2 pick.

I mean, if they want to win now with Victor, why wouldn't they? What would the Jazz have to include to make it a deal?

I could see some fringe stuff being exchanged, but it's a fair deal. Wemby/Lauri is a match made in heaven and the Spurs were rumored to be targeting Lauri in UFA if he didn't extend with Utah

A Spurs trade is interesting because the Spurs are in a weird spot. They just traded for a win now guy in Fox and just drafted Castle. Where does Dylan Harper fit into this picture? I think the Spurs will be tempted to trade #2 for a win now guy and the Jazz are perfectly aligned, having Lauri, to take advantage. Unless they are willing to splurge for Giannis, I don't know what win now move would be better and more affordable for the Spurs than trading for Lauri. Its a good trade to start of the trade thread.
 
It's not even close to a fair deal, Lauri played like a $15m a year guy last year and got paid $40m. Harper has Cade Cunningham potential. The Spurs are going to trade Harper and Castle for Giannis.

The Jazz are obviously trading Sexton and Collins, but I think they have to wait to trade Lauri as they need to restore his value. He was not very good last year and the most optimistic reading of his season is that he doesn't care about winning and is willing to throw games for money.

Sexton to the Magic for a 2nd and Cole Anthony is probably going to happen I guess.

A Giannis trade is going to be insanely pricey. How many first round picks and young players would it take? Harper + Castle wouldn't be enough. If the Spurs want to be more frugal with its assets, I don't think they would go all in for Giannis.

And I wouldn't downgrade Sexton to Anthony for a 2nd. Ainge managed to magic up 5 2nd rounders this trade deadline with Drew Eubanks and Patty Mills. It would be a waste to trade Sexton for a 2nd.

Teams know Lauri has been held back.
 
Guys, if there is one thing to learn about the Spurs is that they don't trade high picks/promising young players for "win-now" fringe All-Star players. Instead, they draft well, patiently develop the prospects and lock them in for a long, long haul. That what made them the most successful franchise of the last 30 years.
 
Also, the idea that a team would trade Harper - who would be the consensus 1st pick in most drafts - for a 19-6 player with the league-average TS% ( who is also 28 and never played in the playoffs)... Are you serious?

You want to win with Wemby now or in 4 years? Did you see how good he was for stretches last year? He's ready to win now. I actually think it's kind of criminal if the Spurs don't trade it.

I believe in Harper, but how long will it take for him to be ready to be the 2nd/3rd best player on a title team? What if he never gets there.

Lauri/Wemby with Fox/Castle/Vassell is an elite team. Lauri might not be worth 2 in a vacuum, but he might be to the Spurs. Could they do something where they also include Sexton? I'd throw him in there for no return to get the deal done.

Lauri isn't viewed the way some think. He had a off year and everyone knows it's because Utah designed their team that way.

The Spurs wanted to max out Lauri in UFA. Last year wouldn't change their minds all that much.

They will be able to get Giannis instead of the want him.
