2025 Offseason Trade and Free Agency Thread (Wow this is fun!)

Seems like Brad Stevens could be involved here in a 4 team trade. Durant to Miami, Holiday to the Kings, Suns?, Celtics?

[chrisab123]

Luke is probably gone, Big Al probably retired, Walsh sucks completely and is probably not going to be on the team and Baylor is raw. That’s garbage

Walsh is terrible. I disagree on Baylor though. He seems promising.

I believe Scheierman will take over the Hauser role and Hauser will be elsewhere

This seems about right. Hauser should be the #1 piece traded. He’s a luxury that the team doesn’t need. He’s great to have but not essential. I’d move him over KP Jrue etc…

But also realizing that if your goal is to get under you need to also move Jrue or KP. Unless of course maybe you could get KP to re-sign at such a deal where you take a hit for a year then get under and run it back sans Hauser which I can’t see happening but Mike Zarren is really really good at this stuff.

The thing that doesn’t make sense to me about these rumors from Miami’s perspective is that they balked at extending Jimmy yet they’ll give KD a 2 year extension. I’d believe that if Boston is involved I’d want them to come out of this with Jamie Jacquez. Dude is a beast and will be a really good role player. Hopefully Pat has finally gone senile.

The intrapersonal communications are hysterical but at the same time sad to see.

I've thrown out rebuild, blow it up and keep it status quo scenarios and mostly got crickets.

I've thrown out my own crazy trades but purposely threw out trades that I saw from sports outlets and mostly got crickets.

Now I see a poster who pops up and causes a stir and a few pages begin because of that.

In the Miami Dolphin's forum in the old PSD site they caught a guy who LITERALLY talked to himself using multiple accounts across game threads, trade threads and draft threads. They dedicated an entire thread showing all his accounts, his multiple facebook accounts that he also used to talk to himself about sports. Facebook and a game day thread is apparently where he got caught. Before the site shut down that thread had over 40 pages.

If it happened there, I'm convinced it's going on here.

I feel for whoever does this and this just shows that people need real friends with heartbeats. Unless those chat bots talk to you than maybe that's ok.

The And 1 points are the give away. I see the same posters get multiple And 1's and others like myself get 1 maybe 2. So what I did last year was simply copy a post that got a bunch of And 1's and re-posted it. I didn't quote it, I just copied it and acted like it was my post. My inspector gadget plan got me ZERO And 1's. I figured "maybe it's just me". So then, I made another account , copied that same post and re-posted it. No And 1's again. How can that be? Are people making posts and then using their other accounts to give themselves a pat on the back and an And 1?

I also noticed that the people who post during games and the people who post in these trade and draft threads are always different. Maybe it's a time frame thing, but there are names in the trade and draft threads that I never see in game day threads. Maybe another coincidence. Who knows. To each his (or her) own.

It was Mr. Purple in the Kitchen with the And 1

I think you just admitted you are the Dolphins multi account person, right? You are now on this forum creating multiple accounts.

I just checked out your most And 1 history. 18? 18? 17?

But, the other posters who posted right after you got zero or 1 And 1? You're either the smartest guy in the room or the only guy in the room.

I'd say get a dog, but a pet rock would be better because it'll never argue back.

Lets just keep this fresh since only one person has responded to it.

To be honest the mods can just check the IPs and cross reference them. Easiest way to prove or disprove the theory.

Pretty sure using your home computer and using your cell will have different ip's.

Well sure. I’m just saying I’ve got better things to do in my spare time, but feel free to look into it.

Celtics: D Robinson, D Carter, #29 pick, 2026 2nd (SAC)
Kings: Holiday
Heat: Durant
Suns: Rozier, DeRozan, #20 pick, 2029 1st (MIA)

Celtics get a young play D Carter, the 29th pick
Celtics after releasing Robinson save $17.5 million on payroll.

Expect this a 3:00 pm today.

What do you think you are going to get for a 35 year old player that has $104 million left on his deal and had a miserable year last year? A young player, late 1st round pick and $17.5 million in cap savings is a pretty good deal.

I’m not saying it’s not realistic but the return is gross. I’d like to think people who have better pulses on the teams in the league could work out a better deal where the Celtics come out okay.

Hollinger re the market for FA centers. He thinks it could be "frothy".

Damn…Mo Bamba has really fallen off. So much fan fare, people wanting to trade up in the draft to pick him, yet on this list he’s not even in the top 25. Eye opening.

The counterpoint to this view is in this cba, if you're going to pay $~140M to the top 3 players on your roster then rotational players making 10M become very valuable

Hope it is Today.. Feel KD is the 1st or one of the 1st Dominos that need to Fall.

Sure but isn’t it costing with the taxes and everything something absurd to keep Hauser? Baylor is a fraction of the price and can get the minutes.

Errmm hey guys I don't really know what's going on here but let me know if I should moderate something or something.

[phincsfan]

I'd like to get Aldama in green.

That would make moving on from Luke much easier.

He has a 5mil QO for 25/26.

No Porzingis in 26/27 opens up salary to lock Aldama up long term.

They need to move Jrue though.

It also makes drafting a big not a necessity this draft. Unless one falls in their laps.

C's get Aldama

Grizz get Sam

Grizz seem to be interested in freeing up money for JJJ, but his contract is up after 25/26. They would be carrying Sam's 45mil contract the next 4 years but they'll have a reliable shooter and they can decline Anthony's TO after 25/26. They can also move Konchar at some point because Sam is an upgrade.
