New Orleans gets three guys who play around Murry, Jones, and Zion. shooters and a big. they also get off of CJ's contract. It costs them Ingram.

Houston gets Ingram, two important Defensive role players, and get off of Brook's contract. It costs them Smith.

Portland sets its core rebuilding starting line up with Smith. Scoot, Sharpe, Deni, Smith, and Clingan while still having a couple vets around to guide the team. it sets up the 2028 season where Portland should be legitimately good and CJ and Dame come together for one last year in Portland as the backup guards to win a championship.

I think I went a little off scrip there at the end.
