Raptors do this trade because its the cheapest way to get off bad money a couple seconds which you'd assume aren't going to be great picks and a late first as its essentially the thunders are easy to part with if it gets you off the bad money they have on the books. IQ isnt a bad contract under the old CBA but you cant have a guy who has his injuries and skills at 30 mil annually same goes for poetle who may be at the start of the end for his body
Celtics save money and get off PG (not a bad player severely over paid and stained with the JB trade) itd be hard for them to ever get a chance to have such a. Valuable wing core so id do the trade despite the steep price
Nets have been low balling MPJ and they have no reason to hang onto him recoup some picks and get off the money especially if they can rehab the value of Dejounte
Bucks get some ok draft capital Kuz doesn't hold crazy value as hes expiring and can choose to not resign and they do get a solid first in exchange for Turner who had a down year last year
Pelicans are the most interesting team in this for me as they create good opprotunity for the young core to play real games and get Zion to the play offs with a super stretched out line up i like the idea of them getting these vets and having big roles for the young guys in games that actually matter
