Posted: Tue May 13, 2025 8:18 pm
Four team trade
Houston in Fox, Lauri, #53
Houston out FVV, Brooks, #10, 2027 PHX FRP, 2028 and 2030 FRPs
Spurs in Anthony, #10, 2027 PHX FRP, 2030 HOU FRP
Spurs out Fox
Utah in KCP, Brooks, #16, 2028 HOU FRP
Utah out Markkanen, #53
Orlando in FVV
Orlando out KCP, Anthony, #16
Why Rockets? They give their more experienced young core enough help to compete at a higher level upgrading FVV/Brooks to Fox/Lauri at the cost of four FRPs. Houston will be at 192,6 mil with 9 contracts after the trade, which leaves them 15,2 mil under the 2nd apron wi bring back Adams and fill the roster with min contracts.
Fox.............Sheppard......#53
Green..........Whitmore.....#59
Thompson.....Eason
Markkanen....Smith
Sengun........Adams
Why San Antonio? They quickly recoup the assets used to acquire Fox after getting lucky enough to draft Harper. No need to hurry, they can use another season growing their young guys since their next FRP obligation to SAC is at 2027. Spurs can also create a huge 37 mil TPE if they use the MLE to absorb Anthony.
Harper.......Anthony.....Wesley
Castle.......Johnson.....Branham
Vassell......#10...........Champagnie
Sochan......Barnes.......#38
Wemby......#14
Why Utah? Once again they were unlucky in the lottery and will have to settle with a rookie not good enough to help Lauri immediately. I have Utah picking Fears and cutting ties with Markkanen. Jazz end up with a nice mix of raw prospects and proven vets that can help them create winning habits.
Sexton......Fears.........Collier
KCP..........George.......Clarkson
Brooks......Williams......Sensabaugh
Collins......Hendricks.....#16
Kessler......Filipovski.....#21
Why Orlando? They upgrade from Anthony to FVV while clearing KCP's future money at the cost of a mid FRP. Magic can sign their picks and bring back Mo Wagner with the min while staying under the 1st apron.
FVV.........Black.........#25
Suggs.......Howard......#46
Wagner.....Da Silva.....Houstan
Banchero..Isaac.........#57
WCJ........Bitadze......Wagner
