While the finals race is heating up, there's already plenty of attention towards the upcoming trade period.

With financial cuts looming and players demanding more trades than ever before, there's no reason to believe this upcoming off-season won't be as wild and unpredictable as the season proper.

So, then - how about 10 massive trades we'd like to see to get the ball rolling?

4. Trade four

Gold Coast receive: Rory Laird

Adelaide receive: First-round pick

The Crows have become accustomed to mass exoduses in recent years โ€“ after a horror year, could more big guns be out the door? One player linked with a move last off-season was star defender Rory Laird.

With his contract expiring at the end of 2021, the Crows, if they are forced to trade him, would want to do it sooner rather than later. Laird would shore up Gold Coastโ€™s defence, providing some much needed class and experience to a burgeoning Suns list.
