The bulls commit to tanking to keep their top 10 protected pick this year and start rebuilding. Trading white may be contentious, but he only has one season left on his contract after this year, and could command serious money. Better to capitalize now and get some draft capital in return. No better way to tank than not having a serviceable point guard. They also have BI as a potential sign and trade piece in the offseason.

The pelicans look to next season, bringing in LaVine who is currently out performing CJ and adding a center in Vuc. They leverage Ingram's contract to get some players for the future, avoiding a rebuild. The downside would be if this leads to them winning a considerable number of games this season, hurting their draft pick.

The pistons add a shooter to cover for Ivey's absence. Ivey is likely to be out to start next season, and they can afford to have CJ's contract on the books for a season and a half.

The Lakers add a playmaker at the expense of future draft capital.

Let me know your thoughts and what you would change, players or picks, if anything. Or maybe there's no chance of this.
