Trade involving 4 teams: 2 aiming to strengthen to reach the top of the East and 2 only thinking about the draft at the end of the year.

• The Bulls get two very interesting frp, but in exchange they have to take Kuzma's contract and give up C.White, Okoro and one srp. This move brings the Bulls closer to the bottom of the league and allows them to increase their draft capital.

• The Bucks are receiving C.White and D.Powell in exchange for Kuzma, 2frp and 1srp. This move allows them to pair Giannis with a star, thus returning to being a threat in the East, free themselves from Kuzma's contract, and add Powell to the roster, which would have been a financial burden for Dallas, while for Milwaukee it's a great way to expand the roster.

• The Hawks receive Okoro, Naji, and 1frp in exchange for L.Kennard and 1frp. Atlanta is showing significant cracks on defense, ranking near the bottom of the league in points allowed (around 115-117 points per game) and Defensive Rating (around 114.1). Although they added Kristaps Porziņģis (who protects the rim well), their perimeter defense struggles, allowing too many easy drives. They desperately need a point-of-attack defender and a versatile 3-and-D forward who can guard the opposition's strongest guards, and Okoro and Naji represent the ideal defenders this team lacks, to definitively push for the title (with the return of Trae Young).

• The Mavs receive L.Kennard and 2srp for Naji and Powell. Dallas does what a rebuilding team should do: trade their good rotation players (Naji) for picks and get rid of excess salary (Powell).
