Blazers: Hart, Nas, Keon, Didi, 2024 ATL 2nd, 2025 1st, and 2027 1st --> Bridges and Craig

The Blazers get their starting SF of the future, trading away significant assets to the Nets and using their $6.5 mil trade exception to acquire Craig as well. Bledsoe will need to be cut for $3.9 mil and stretched across 3 years to make it $1.3 mil per year, and the Blazers would need to make their 2023 pick owned by Chicago unprotected to have access to their 2025 first. Didi is traded along with a second to the Pacers in order to obtain enough cap space to get the deal done.

Pacers: Turner and 2023 CLE 1st --> Ayton, Didi, and 2024 ATL 2nd

Pacers are committing to their young core officially after moving Brogdon, and it appears Turner is the next piece to go. Using your cap space while getting a great center to pair with Halliburton is a big win for this Pacers team.

Suns: Bridges, Ayton, Craig, Johnson, 2023 1st, 2025 1st, 2027 1st, and 2029 1st --> KD

When viewed in its entirety this is a pretty fair package for KD. The combination of 4 first round picks, a former 1st overall pick, along with 2 former lottery picks, one of which was 1st team all defense last season. The problem is that Bridges and Ayton don't make much sense next to Simmons, which is why they have to get other teams involved.

Nets: KD --> Turner, Hart, Keon, Cam, Nas, 2023 PHX 1st, 2023 CLE 1st, 2025 POR 1st, 2025 PHX 1st, 2027 POR 1st, 2027 PHX 1st, and 2029 PHX 1st

The Nets are in a weird position, with no real reason to tank since they don't have their own picks, yet also a clear need for serious draft compensation in this trade. This is a great haul for this team, getting the center in Turner that for the longest time has been said to be the perfect compliment to Simmons. This would also finally give Simmons what he has wanted, placing him as the main facilitator on a team filled with floor spacers. A starting 5 of: Curry, Hart, Harris, Simmons, Turner, with Nas, Cam Johnson, Thomas, Mills, and Claxton off the bench could find their way to the play-in in the East, and that is without taking into account whatever they get from a Kyrie trade. Bridges and Ayton are great players, but if you are trying to build a team around Simmons it makes no sense to get a defensive oriented player or a big that can't shoot.
