Future-year talent figures above are projections on the league aging curve (fit from 4,692 player-seasons, 1997–2025), not measurements — they fade in the display because they should.How the projections work →
Her attribute profile scored against each team's current roster deficits — where she'd fill the biggest hole, not just where she'd be fun.
A fair package each interested team would have to send for Kiah Stokes — assembled and priced by the same engine that grades trades, most valuable pieces first until the outgoing value matches hers. Open one in the machine to tweak it.
A starting point, not a prediction — each package is the fewest fair pieces by model value, and a real deal would flex around roster fit and both front offices. “Needs a filler” means the salaries don't yet fit under the cap without another piece.
The closest player-seasons in league history (1997–2025) to her current age, per-36 profile, and role — the careers her projection walks alongside.
Durability context: 50% of her 40 nearest comps had no qualified season two years on — projection ranges assume she's still playing.
