WHY IT WORKS FOR EACH TEAM
Nuggets get the secondary ball handler/creator they've been looking for and a big time scorer in LaVine to partner with Jokic
Pistons add a much needed backup PG in Lonzo and pick up Craig to take over as the backup PF
Warriors haven't played well since acquiring Schorder so they flip him and a couple backups to land a starting C In Vucevic and a solid backup PG in Carter
Magic pick up Schroder to take over as the backup PG and provide some insurance for Suggs injury and get Saric to help make up for the loss of Mo Wagner.
Bulls swap out LaVine for Porter Jr, then decide to embrace the tank for the rest of the season to help keep their Top 10 protected 2025 1st rd pick, shed nearly $40M in salary for next season and add 4 draft picks to help with their rebuild. Bulls would cut Chtis Duarte to get their roster to 15
