Warriors get:
SF Brandon Ingram
Pelicans get:
C Nikola Vucevic
SG Moses Moody
PF Trayce Jackson-Davis
2026 GSW FRP
2027 CHI FRP(Top 10 protected)
Hornets get:
SG Zach LaVine
Bulls get:
SF Andrew Wiggins
SF Cody Martin
PG Vasilje Micic
Why the Warriors do this:
They get a win-now star to pair with Steph and Draymond that will be cheaper than Lauri. They can try one more time to win with this core before nuking it all.
Why the Pelicans do this:
They get a center, depth for Zion, and plus 2 firsts for BI.
Why the Hornets do this:
Having a hole at SG, and with nothing to lose, they take a gamble. If LaVine stays healthy, then they may make a push for the playoffs. If it doesn’t work out, then they didn’t give up much.
Why the Bulls do this:
They get rid of LaVine and Vucevic’s contracts and can rebuild.
