Cavs: Despite the departure of Kevin Love, it is likely to happen as with Rubio, with a hypothetical return in Free Agency in 2023 with a lower salary. Rounds are made, despite retaining Westbrook for a year, but it will create high salary space for extensions of young players and future reinforcements. In my opinion, this year is to gain play-off experience and go for it all in the 2023/2024 season.

Lakers: They are reinforced to compete in the West, but their biggest victory is to put an end to Westbrook's problem in terms of salary and chemistry with the members of the team. LeBron can be happy.

Knicks: They may not have gotten Donovan Mitchell, but they get Caris LeVert, a player who is capable of generating his own shots. They can't be compared, but it has cost them only a first-round pick. In addition, they are released from Fournier's contract to go freely to the 2023 Free Agency and without worrying about the extensions of young people.

Jazz: They continue their rebuild, get a protected top 5 first-round pick, but with the added bonus that that round belongs to Lakers. It is one of the teams that, probably, are in a worse situation for those years, although you never know.
