2025 Off-Season Trade Ideas Thread

IMO, it never made sense for the Heat to get Wiggins. His contract cuts into their future cap space plans. I think we could sen Collins there, then reroute Wiggins elsewhere. I think there will still be teams wanting Wiggins.

S&T with Robinson makes some sense too.

 

[KqWIN]

Wonder if the Heat are making a play for Lauri with this Duncan Robinson business.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Either Wiggins or Robinson make sense at this point. Not sending out any picks for either of them though. Would be nice to get an asset back for moving him though.

How about Rozier and a top 55 protected 2nd rounder?

I’d rather nab either Wiggins or Robinson. I think the Jazz could flip one of them elsewhere later if needed.

We’re actually going to be the one sending a second rounder

There’s something going on with Robinson for sure. The language shams used was confusing, but if he is becoming a FA he just gave up a lot of money. No way he gave that up unless he knows a bigger bag is coming.

I heard Detroit rumblings as a Beasley replacement maybe. IDK I agree that was a weird one so he def has something lined up.

I just don’t buy Locke’s overdipping the Oreo cookie view. I’d like to move as many guys that aren’t in the long term plans. If moving Collins means some of our young guys get exposed then so be it.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

The Jazz can't make me watch a checked out Nurkic and Wiggins... I refuse. Wiggins ends up elsewhere please.

IIRC he kept his contract, he would have had $10M guaranteed and all $19M had he been traded. So at minimum he has somewhere that will pay him > $10M. But I feel like it has to be a lot more than $10M, otherwise he would just accept being waived and then sign with whoever. The fact that he decline it makes me think that resolution is already a done deal and we’ll learn soon.

I wonder if the Heat have something cooking where they want to increase his outgoing S&T value to higher than $19M. The Heat get more outgoing salary and he gets an incredible bag just to be a part of this trade.

I think Det has like 17M now that Beasley ain't coming back. That could make some sense. I could also see the Heat close to the tax doing like 3/45M and getting a slight tax break if they elected to keep him over the 19M.

No idea but he absolutely has something lined up.

I both subscribe to Locke's view + still support shedding Collins. Nurkic / Lauri should be enough of a "veteran presence" there.

Wouldn't be mad if we brought in a veteran backup PG, though. Not to actually "play" but just be a grown up in the room with 3 PGs who just got their peach fuzz. As of now, Keyonte is the elder statesman, which is spooky.

This feels significant wrt Lauri and Kessler

Do we know if Masai chose to draft CMB? Or was he already out of there by then?

He was involved in the decision. They let him know he was out but he wanted to stay on until after the draft.

 

[KqWIN]

I still think TOR is a great Lauri destination. If a deal were to happen, it probably already would have on draft night. But CMB may have been my pick at #9 had we done it on draft night.

Trade Idea

Lauri for Herb+DJM+NOP's entire future in picks

 

[KqWIN]

I think it’s safe to say that Key has no trade value at this point.

Top 55 protected makes me laugh

"It's time to let Sexton play for a contender! Dude deserves it."

"It's time to let Clarkson play for a contender! Dude deserves it."

"It's time to let Collins play for a contender! Dude deserves it."

"Let's send Lauri to some hellish situation where there's zero hope."
