Trade Deadline 2025

[theBigLip]

We are doing well in Free Agency. Nothing too big, but okay players on solid deals. The roster will be rather deep going into next season.

I have to imagine at the 2025 Trade Deadline Langdon will be taking a lot of calls. Harris, Beasley, Fontecchio, Hardaway are all on tradeable deals. Not sure where we will be in the standings by then, but we will certainly have some moveable parts.

[Piston Pete]

Might even be open to trading Ivey and/or one of Ausar/Holland by then as well. Depends…

Ausar and Holland have serious 2 way wing potential - you want to trade that away?

For what?

Agreed. I feel our new vets need to bridge us over until Ausar/Holland/Ivey/Duren develop. But the vets should be able to be traded next year if good opportunities come up.

Hear me out, would Jordan Poole be worth it at the trade deadline? I know he has baggage, but I think his time in Washington may have humbled him a little. Trading Beasley, Hardaway and Paul Reed for him at the deadline?

Cade / Sasser
Ivey / Poole
Thompson / Holland
Harris / Tech
Duren / Stewart

Honestly I just want to package Beasley, Hardaway and Reed for a reliable wing and hopefully we are good enough to push the chips all in, mortgage our picks and Harris for upgrade at PF

Outside of a wing, my PF wishlist is:

1.) JJJ - can shoot the outside shot and would be the perfect big man rotation piece with Stewart and Duren.

2.) Aaron Gordon- a little older and not as good defensively or as a shooter as JJJ, but we would have one of the most athletic starting 5's

3.) Brandon Ingram- going for broke, struck out on the top 2 and would have to pay him huge money the very next summer to keep him. Plus not as good as a 3 pt shooter as the other two

Pistons need to get their owned FRP back from the NYK to make any kind of trade splash. Both Detroit and NYK will wait and see how Pistons look this year to see try and forecast when the brick will convey and what it will look like. Iirc it's at best a 9th overall pick in 2027 draft and at worst a SRP in 2027.

But I guess I can't see TL trading a 2025 FRP anyways.

What has Poole shown to indicate that he has been "humbled" in any way that makes a difference on the court?? Sounds pretty wishful imo.

He took a bench role the 2nd half of the season and stopped clowning as much. I would play close attention to how he comes out at the beginning of this season. If he doesn't kickup attention like last time I would highly consider him at the trade deadline.

No to Poole - for a dude who came through the Warriors set up he's undisciplined and his focus is on himself, his shots, his numbers.

We don't want guys like that when we've just acquired vets to help educate our guys on all the little habits that matter.

Trade deadline is a long way away so let's just see what - if any - difference those vets make to our youth first

I just don't think he's very good. Seem's like a high usage chucker with no D. What am I missing?

[Snakebites]

No Jordan Poole unless he's coming with some SERIOUS draft capital.

Which he won't be. The Wizards would be foolish to trade first round picks to get out from under a bad contract.

[7r5ur]

Suns sign Okogie to an intentionally inflated 2 year /16M deal with a team option for the 2nd year, which seems to be primarily to use as a trade chip, though they can't combine his $8M yearly salary with anyone else and they can't take back a penny more than $8M for him in a trade.

The Suns were also very interested in Fontecchio last year at the deadline, who happens to make a perfectly matching $8M this year.

The Suns are now able to trade their 2031 1st round pick...

If Ausar or Holland show that they're ready, I wouldn't be shocked to see Simone flipped at the deadline for that pick, which could be super valuable as a trade chip in future.

Paul Reed could be an option too, with the same ~$8M salary, but I doubt they'd give that risky of a pick for him. Either way, I don't expect 1-to-3 of Beasley, THJ, Reed, Fontecchio, and Harris to make it past the trade deadline. Learn from Weaver's mistakes with Grant and Bojan and cash in when the value peaks.

Yeah, we will have several players who can line up trade wise with the given $$$ they make... Even Beasley, who will have to agree to that trade for it to happen.

[Canadafan]

Now, don't panic. I won't get all crazy here and start spouting off nutty trade proposals
Just was thinking, we look alright now. No trade is gonna make us contenders anytime soon.
So I'd luv to see us add another role player type that can shoot3 elite level. One more knockdown shooter would be glorious.
Ivey looks so good now. The whole Jesus thing has really helped him. Thank god.
Cade too looking nice. Ausar taking too long to come back but he's going to help big time with his defense.
Hollands hustle has been fun to watch.
Tobias and Fontecchio especially have been disappointing but here's to hoping Simone picks it up.
Just saying we have 10mil in space to maybe pair with Reed which could get us someone. Anyways, go pistons. We lookin respectable

[JennetteMcCurdy]

This start so far is pretty much best case. If it can go another month or so, the Beasley/Hardaway/Reed deals could go for more vets with draft capital.

To get much more, you have to trade some youth. Sasser’s obvious, but probably someone better….

[Mr Peanut]

It's early days, but this team potentially seems a bit further along than most expected. The general sense before the season is we would win 25-30 games but our current record/level of competitiveness would suggest we could well be in the 35-40 win range, which should be enough to make the play-in in the East.

The natural question is do we stay the course with the current group or do we look to upgrade and try and push the team a bit further?

Enter Brandon Ingram - he has had a strong start to the season averaging 23.0ppg, 6.2rpg, 5.2apg. NO have already made it clear they aren't willing to pay him what he wants in the off-season. So from December 15 we could offer Harris (largely for salary matching purposes) and any of Duren/Stewart/future first rounders to entice NO, and ultimately put ourselves in position to be the team to lock him in this summer. And in the short term he adds extra wins and upgrades our offense to have three players who should average 18ppg or more.

Just a disclaimer that I'm not necessarily advocating trading for Ingram, just interested to know who would want to bring him in and how much they would give up in a trade.

We are most likely not going to be good enough to make the playoffs, but we will have a good chance to make the play-in games. Biggest question marks are where the Bucks and Sixers end up you have to imagine they will both turn it around but time will tell.

I think if things continue to go well we should be the 10th seed this year ahead of Nets, Raptors, Bulls, Wizards and Hornets. But at best we are probably the 9th seed ahead of just one more team. I would be surprised to see Philly not make the play-in games even though they've started really poorly. Same goes for Bucks.

[Kalamazoo317]

I think we stay the course, try to build a winning culture while continuing to develop the young guys, see where our draft pick ends up, and go from there. I think this is a "discovery" year and we have a lot left to discover still without any drastic changes.
Were we to make some, I think "another star" and "defensive anchor at center" would be the primary needs. Ingram is worth considering in that conversation, but I'm not sure he's the optimal fit. And since we're better than we expected, we can be pickier than we thought.

[DET_Athletics]

I think we sell Tim Hardaway and possibly but not needed, Paul Reed, at the trade deadline to a contender for whatever picks we can get. I am convinced that Lauri Markenen is the final piece for this team. Hopefully Utah gets lucky and win the draft, they get cooper Flagg and we mortgage our future for Lauri. Then we take our full MLE and sign back Beasley to a multi year deal, just hope he doesn't outplay that contract this year and looks for more.

Cade / Sasser / Two-way
Ivey / Beasley / Moore
Thompson / Holland / Two-way
Lauri / Tech /Klintman
Duren / Stewart / Vet Min Big

That's the roster I want to see at the beginning of next year. That's a roster that would be Top 3-5 in the east and with room to grow.
