Charlotte Hornets What they get: Domantas Sabonis Why they’d do it: True star acquisition: Sabonis instantly becomes their second-best player. Perfect fit with LaMelo-type guard: Elite screener + passer = offensive engine. Win-now push: The +4 wins projection reflects that.

Toronto Raptors What they get: DeMar DeRozan Grant Williams Why they’d do it: Bring back a franchise icon: DeRozan return = leadership + shot creation. Sallary dump
