Nuggets:

• Turner is a solid backup big that can play with or without Jokic, can play with Russ since he can stretch out to the 3pt line. Also provides A+ rim protection, which Nuggets have never had in the Jokic era.

• Bogdan and Nesmith are two solid shooters that can provide the shooting depth that Nuggets are lacking. Also, Bogdan is Serbian, keeps Jokic happy, and should have good chemistry compared to bringing other shooters who have never played with him before .

Hawks:

• MPJ gives Trae a knock down shooter that isn't ball dominant, better version of Bogdanovic in terms of scoring prowess and rebounding - Potential Starting Lineup: Trae Dyson MPJ Johnson Okongwu

• Hawks in this scenario would want to start Okongwu, so they can get value for Capela while he is still in his prime

Pacers:

• Capela provides much needed rebounding (Pacers are 28th in rebounding) and screens for Haliburton and Nembhard to work off of

• Get a first round pick

• Pacers would believe that they can develop Nnaji and Strawther into serviceable role players
