2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

I mean, you got to go with your best players. At least that starting lineup has a lot of shooting and defensive length. Not like our playmaking options (Collier/Keyonte) are high level.

I like that this lineup puts the keys in WCJ/Ace's hands to be playmakers and primary drivers for a team. Obviously this isnt a complete team and we are hopefully getting that complete two way player next draft, but I really like that starting lineup.
Ace can make plays for others? You might be breaking news here, man.
 
What I'm saying is that it puts him in the position to do it, so he has to learn.

At least with this lineup you have spacing for everyone to operate in. Just up to coaching and buy in to move the ball at an effective level.
I support this as a tanking strategy. At times, it seems as if Ace has no idea where anyone else is on the floor.

There are likely better options if the primary motivation is Ace's best developmental trajectory.
 
Gotta think that Lauri Markkanen is still quietly on the trade block and could become a top target for teams who missed out on other trades leading up to the draft.

What teams make the most sense as trade partners? And which teams actually still have assets the Jazz should want?

Warriors? Spurs? 76ers? Pistons?
Perhaps Lakers too.
If i'm not mistaken i saw earlier this summer some trade speculation where Lauri was going to Lakers but probably it was more BS ''trade rumors'' without facts than real and legit trade rumor.
 
Should we call NOP about Lauri? I mean we should probably call them about everyone. They dumb.
Why not Memphis they have Finnish head-coach ( Tuomas Iisalo ) now and Lauri probably would be OK add to Memphis team.
Because Iisalo's coaching-style and game-book pferers high octane scoring and Lauri is a scorer of course Memphis has Ja Morant and JJJ their top stars but Lauri would good 3rd star in that group
 
I just don't think we move Lauri.
Why's that so?
Nobody couldn't expect that Connor McDavid gives critic for Edmonton Oilers
after losing 2nd straight stanley cup final and leaving his NHL future in Edmonton wide open but that happend.
So why Jazz wouldn't trade Lauri now when they aren't going as a team anywhere next 5-7 years one Ace Bailey doesn't remove or ignore that fact Jazz is still bottom10 team in NBA.
 
I do kind of want a vet pg to help us not be fully incompetent but I wonder if Mike is feeling spry if he might eff up the tank.
I think a vet point guard unlocks Lauri and for that reason gets us 15 wins above a non-tank effort.

My hope is that we DONT get a vet point almost at all costs. Let them do their darndest to win without a vet leader getting a better than expected result like Mike Conley delivered last time.
