5-team trade: Anthony Davis to Utah? What exchange of draft picks?


FAILED

Dallas trades Davis, Lively, and a point guard for a trio with pre-existing chemistry: Quickley and Walter are 3-point shooters, Poeltl is a center.

Utah invests in an experienced center in Anthony Davis, to develop Ace Bailey who plays forward, by trading their 2 biggest contracts of Markkanen and Nurkic, in exchange for center Anthony Davis plus Grayson Allen, a proven 3-point shooting guard.

Phoenix gives up starting Center Mark Williams and shooting guard Grayson Allen for the expiring contract of center Jusuf Nurkic alongside Gradey Dick, a 3rd year 85% free-throw shooter who could learn from Devin Booker.

Clippers unload the contracts of Chris Paul and Brook Lopez in exchange for a point guard from Dallas and Ochai Agbagi, a hardworking versatile 3-point shooting role-player.

Toronto does a proper rebuild around Scottie Barnes, in exchange for veteran center Poeltl and 3-point shooters Walter, Dick, Agbagi, and Quickley:

  • Brook Lopez at 37 years old is well past his prime, but is the archetypical "floor-spacing big man" that Toronto has been searching for.

  • Chris Paul knows the point-guard position, and Toronto could benefit from a perhaps sometimes abrasive leader to teach and guide Toronto's 4 young point guard prospects of Shead, Lawson, Hepburn, and Martin.

  • Mark Williams is the 24-year old starting center in Phoenix. Williams does not shoot 3s, but is an excellent rebounder and paint defender.

  • Dereck Lively III has a mysterious medical disorder. The doctors in Dallas performed surgery on Lively's feet to alter the bone-structure, but the symptoms remain, so Lively's condition is a medical mystery. Insulin was discovered in Toronto. Toronto is Canada's top medical research hub. Big men get injured more frequently and have shorter careers. Lively would be a gamble, only if Toronto foot doctors are up for the challenge.

  • Lauri Markkanen has played 4 seasons in Chicago, 1 in Cleaveland, is now in his 4th season in Utah. He is a 3-point shooting dynamic playmaking power forward who would fit well alongside Barnes and Ingram.

What kind of exchange of draft capital would be necessary to make this 5-team deal work?
