++Why the 76ers do this?++

They get the toxicity of Simmons off their team and by association, sadly, get rid of Maxey. It also does suck to lose one of the greatest shooters right now in Curry. However, they will acquire a superstar, for Embiid, in Lillard, so they aren’t that bummed out. Covington also fills up the void defensively that Simmons left behind.

Milton-Thybulle-Korkmaz-Niang-Drummond

++Why the Raptors do this?++

All they do is exchange Dragic for Hield, and that is just an improvement. Dragic, also, accidently said that he doesn't want to stay on the Raptors, so......

Flynn-Trent-Barnes-Broucher-Achiuwa

++Why the Trail Blazers do this?++

The Lillard trade request is inevitable at this point. However, since they still want to compete and will still have great talent on the team. They will do a mini rebuild, instead of a full on rebuild. Acquiring Bagley is a great fit on the team and a perfect place for him to revitalize his career. Dragic will also be a nice piece on or off the bench, to take the load off McCollum and Powell. They also get a nice young player in Maxey to get a "fresh" start and become their future franchise PG. Maxey and Bagley will end up being the face of the franchise (and I mean this in a good way). Gafford, who is criminally underrated, and the picks make the value about equal to the value of Lillard.

++Why the Kings do this?++

This completely changes the culture of the team. The team has already peaked with Hield, Barnes, and Bagley on it. It's time for them to go in a complete fresh start. Simmons gives the Kings an all-nba type of player, he does everything elite except for offense (even if you don't want to admit it). He also won't be the primary ball handler anymore with Fox on the team. Acquiring Curry, Bertans, and Kispert is nothing but shooting to surround Simmons because with shooters at every position Simmons can flourish in the paint. Also, it does suck to lose Mitchell, even though he hasn't played for the team yet, but they already have Haliburton, and Kispert just makes more sense on this team than Mitchell.

Fox-Curry-Simmons-Bertans-Holmes

Haliburton-Davis-Kispert-Woodard-Thompson

++Why the Wizards do this?++

Wizards are here to correct a mistake within the draft. They should have traded up to get Mitchell, but they didn't. Mitchell is the perfect player on this team, he is an elite defensive guard and that's exactly what the Wizards need right now. No guard on this team is going to help defensively. They also acquire Barnes which can be a great starter for the Wizards. His contract is also shorter than Bertans, so it's a win on the financial aspect of it.
