The Bulls have some very valuable pieces that they either need to trade or finally build around. Choosing the former, Caruso is arguably one of their most valuable pieces, especially if the team that trades for him can extend him. They start the rebuild by trading him for a young player, #21 in this draft, and a valuable future FRP.


The Magic are going to being going after a star in FA, but if they miss, they could be looking at a trade. In this scenario, the Magic get themselves an elite SG who will fit well next to Suggs and provide some spacing. They also snag Anderson in FA. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some other deals or signings, but I wanted to leave space for the extensions of Suggs, Banchero, and Franz.

Magic Depth Chart:

PG: Suggs - Anthony

SG: McCollum - Black - Houstan

SF: Franz - Anderson - Howard

PF: Banchero - Isaac - Okeke

C: WCJ - Mo - #47


The Bucks need an elite defender next to Lillard, and they find that in Caruso without giving up too much. They also decide to move Giannis to center, and get some solid depth for Lopez. I could see them getting some more depth by signing some vet minimums, but this provides a solid rotation.

Bucks Depth Chart:

PG: Lillard - Beverley - Green

SG: Caruso - Beasley - Beauchamp

SF: Middleton - Marshall - Connaughton

PF: Portis - #23

C: Giannis - #33


The Hawks seem to have enough evidence that DJ and Trae don't work, so they swap DJ with Ingram straight up. I could see the Hawks trading away some of their more expensive guys like Hunter and Capela, allowing them to focus on extending JJ and giving minutes to whoever they take a #1 overall, signing some better depth, and giving more minutes to Okongwu. Ideally, their lineup would consist of Trae, an elite guard defender (maybe KCP or Melton), Ingram, JJ, and Sarr with Bogdanovic as sixth man along with whoever else earns their spot in the rotation.


The Pels are in an interesting spot, and could very easily contend with the right moves and a healthy Zion. They decide to get an elite 3-and-D center, a really solid defensive-minded PG on a great contract, some solid depth, and some draft capital in exchange for McCollum, Ingram, Marshall, and some draft capital.

Pels Depth Chart:

PG: DJ - Alvarado

SG: Jones - Harris - Hawkins

SF: Murphy - Daniels

PF: Zion - Nance Jr. - #18

C: Lopez - Bitadze
