Magic:
PG: Jalen Suggs, Tyus Jones
SG: Desmond Bane, Buddy Hield
SF: Franz Wagner, Gary Payton II
PF: Paolo Banchero, Ben Simmons, Jonathan Isaac
C: Nikola Vucevic, Mo Wagner
Analysis: Magic get an upgrade at center in Vucevic, who is an elite rebounder, great scorer from all three levels, and a serviceable center. He, along with fellow Magic additions Desmond Bane, Tyus Jones, and Buddy Hield, will help fix the Magic's poor spacing, giving Franz and Paolo more room to operate. Using their apron space to bring in Simmons and GP2 allows them to ensure their defense stays good in light of all of the offensive-minded additions they've added.
Warriors:
PG: Stephen Curry, Russell Westbrook
SG: Brandin Podiemski, Cameron Payne
SF: Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody
PF: Draymond Green, Jonathan Kuminga, Trayce Jackson-Davis
C: Wendell Carter Jr., Quinten Post
Analysis: The Wolves series showed just how badly Golden State needs a real center. They get one, and not a bad one at all, in Wendell Carter Jr. Carter is a good finisher and rebounder, an above average rim protector, and while he had a horrid year from three in 2025, if he can get back to his old shooting levels, he could be a great fit for the Warriors, whose spacing with Butler, Draymond, and Kuminga is not great.
Bulls:
PG: Josh Giddey, Tre Jones
SG: Coby White, Anthony Black
SF: Ayo Dosunmu, Isaac Okoro
PF: Matas Buzelis, Jalen Smith
C: Zach Collins, Goga Bitadze
Analysis: Bulls trade Vucevic at his highest value for a very good young talent in Anthony Black, who they could develop into a very good player. They also get another solid piece in Goga Bitadze, who they could choose to keep and develop or flip, as well as a SRP in 2026 and a young asset in Gui Santos.
