BUCKS: Forget the players, you get very valuable picks. You get two valuable 2026 picks including a likely late lottery pick with the Bulls and a top 20-ish pick with the Spurs-ATL pick swap. You also get plenty of other picks inlcuding a 2027 PHX pick and a pick that is swap best between Spurs and Boston (Boston might not be sustainable by 2028).

ROCKETS: You get your guy with Dylan Harper. Three more years on his rookie deal which coincides perfectly with KD's contract that will run out once Harper is in need of an extension. Hopefully Harper can propel himself into a primary ball-handler role. His progressing three point shot will be of much use to this team and they avoid giving up Brooklyn's pick in 2027 and effectively hop off the possibility of extending Eason.

Bulls: They have been searching for their "Pascal Siakam". We have seen Tari Eason score 20 points + on great efficiency. He's 24 and ready to effectively contribute to a team. Without a sacrificing a generational talent (protecting their pick for the top 5 spots). They acquire a guy who I think can seamlessly slide into their starting lineup and play meaningful minutes and possibly propel them into a play-in spot. If the pick somehow doesn't convey they will send Milwaukee their 2027 first round pick unprotected in a draft class that many consider to be significantly weaker than the 2026 draft class. They also get off Patrick Williams contract, which gives them some flexibility in next year's free agency, though they will likely have to extend Coby White and Tari Eason to maintain the integrity of the team.

SPURS: I don't think the Spurs can really lose here, they get a top 3-5 player in the league in Giannis, who will give them the opportunity to compete very effectively for the Finals for the next 3-4 years. If they can beat the Thunder out of the West, it is unlikely a team in the East will be able to stop a Giannis-Wemby frontcourt.
