SAS-MIA-UTH-MIL 

Post#1 » by radtech » Sat Jul 12, 2025 12:24 am

SAS incoming Players: Lauri Markkanen
SAS outgoing Players: De'Aaron Fox

MIA incoming Players: De'Aaron Fox
MIA outgoing Players: Terry Rozier, Simone Fontecchio, and Jaime Jaquez Jr.

UTAH Incoming Players: Kyle Kuzma, Terry Rozier, and Jaime Jaquez Jr.
UTAH outgoing Players: Lauri Markkanen

MIL Incoming Players: Kyle Anderson, Svi Mykhailuk and Simone Fontecchio
MIL outgoing Players: Kyle Kuzma

Why for MIL, Kuzma just doesn't fit. MIL improves their bench with better role players.

Why for Utah, they don't care about winning just improving their 2026 draft position.

Why for MIA, Rozier is useless; Fontechhio is a salary filler, and losing Jaquez hurts a little bit. Getting a starting pg in Fox makes up for any loss in Jaime.

Why for SAS, adding more shooting and versatility surrounding Wemby. More bigs in Olynyk and Kornet that can spread the floor only helps, Castle should be ready to lead with Harper right on his tail.

Don't know who gets drafts pick in trade but MIL and MIA should add draft picks they are both better off. SAS is more even talent trade and Utah just wants to lose and improve draft position.

Except the Spurs made a commitment to Fox when he forced his way there, and this is a weak return for Fox from Utah's point of view.

This trade is too good for the Heat and horrendous for the Jazz. Plus, Spurs are not dealing Fox. It's a no go.

Too good for Miami and Milwaukee who both owe value.

Meh, Kuzma isn't stopping any plans we have and none of these guys are needle movers in the slightest. If we're adding value to Kuzma it ain't for Kyle Anderson and pieces.

Oh, I get that, but no one is taking Kuzma without some sort of incentive.

I wouldn't trade Fox for Markkanen, and I hope the Spurs wouldn't either.

Bucks dont really need more depth, but I’d consider it. Is there any way to legally get Markkannen on the Bucks without giving up Giannis?

I wouldn’t trade you Lauri for Fox. To each his own I guess.

Spurs traded 3 1sts and 4 2nds for Fox, now Miami gets him for bad money and Jaquez, who was out of the playoff rotation?

Hmmm? Milwaukee gets cut out, Miami has to send lots more value to Utah and Spurs. I’m not sure the Spurs would make the financial commitment to Lauri if he was FA, much less trade value for him, so they may be out on this one, period.
