Teams that might be interested in our 2025 FRP

cedric76 · Post #1 » by **cedric76** » Mon Feb 24, 2025 8:42 am

Here is the list of teams that might be interested to trade (up) to grab one of our picks

From those teams , there are not many players that would fit our team, i added their names next to the pciks each team has

Except for Booker, we could easily get those guys using Cole/Harris + FRP to get them
LAC 29,48
Phoenix 30,50 (Booker - Grayson Allen)
Detroit 35
Sac 38 (Monk)
GS 42 (Moody)
Cle 51,59
Memphis 53
LAL 54
NY 56
Den
Mil

Do you see any other (realistic) names that i might have missed?

Monk for Cole+Harris+ ORL FRP could make sense

Monk is too mediocre/streaky as a distance shooter. Based on your list, something for Moses Moody makes sense.

Still better than Cole+ Harris

As for moody, I like him a lot

I liked Moody very much in the draft (probably would have taken him over Franz

) but he's just another 3&D...can't we learn from KCP debacle? AB is still, for the most part, not a PG...so yet another Gary Harris upgrade?

I'd be okay if KCP got moved and Harris gone, with Moody coming in...but not really our primary or secondary or third priority.

I don't know that any of those players or teams would be that excited about giving up a seasoned player for the great unknown...as all of the teams you listed have aspirations of winning - not rebuilding.

But-there's always the scenario where a win-now team takes picks, adds some of their own in pursuit of a bigger fish elsewhere. Or (and this is where I'm now focusing) a team disappoints in the playoffs and decides to sell off and attempt to rebuild on the fly. Not likely to pick off a Booker-level guy, but there could be some restructuring around "core guys"...coincidentally, I think this is ORL's status. We have good players that could fit better elsewhere and aren't contributing as much here.

If management could get Moody as on piece of a Anthony and Denver FRP, I would love that!

Buddy Hield and Moody for Anthony and a FRP works salary wise. Orlando might need to add a 2026 FRP to that, lottery protected, as it seems a bit thin to me.

Moody is essentially KCP with worse defense. Not sure why we're beating down the doors for that.

Lowish volume 3&D guy who doesn't really defend at a high level either.

Does basically nothing to address any of the problems that currently exist with playmaking and all that.

A lot of names people are tossing out (not just this thread) are not significant upgrades. I would rather allow our own youngsters time to develop and test the draft vs. shaking it up with vets like that.

Get me a 25 year old Anfernee Simons and I’m all in.

I continue to come back to the Boston Celtics journey with two talented forwards who many argued early couldn’t go all the way together. Ultimately, this is a tough league to win in. Let Paolo / Franz grow together; even better with a few really nice complimentary pieces. The growing pains are part of the process.

Portland, let’s see if they’d take Paolo plus both 1st round picks this season for their top 10 pick plus Simons and Advija. Give Portland anything they want except Franz and Suggs. We would automatically be better with Simons Suggs, Advija, Franz, and Goga plus whoever we took with the top 10 pick.

I'd take Ron as GM for sure.

Are we of the understanding that whoever we are trading this pick for is going to be our #4 option in the starting lineup, or are we collectively wanting to target someone that will be ahead of Suggs on the offensive hierarchy??

I’m all over Monk! Let’s do it.

They need to be able to shoot and play make. Doesn’t have to be much above or below Suggs.
