CELTICS: SO LET'S SAY JAYLEN BROWN MAKES HIS WAY OUT OF BOSTON, YOU GET AN ALL-STAR LEVEL POINT GUARD WHO CAN NAVIGATE THE PAINT AND ALLOW TATUM TO THRIVE AROUND THE PERIMETER WHERE HE DOES BEST. YOU ALSO GET PREMIER 3-D-WING TREY MURPHY WHO CAN HELP STRETCH THE FLOOR AND PLAY DEFENSE. FOX AND MURPHY ARE LOCKED IN FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. YOU ALSO GET TWO SECOND ROUND PICKS, AND WE KNOW BOSTON LOVES THEIR LATE DRAFT PICK ADDITIONS.

SPURS: IGNORE VUCEVIC HERE THOUGH HE WOULD BE AN ALRIGHT FIT NEXT TO WEMBY, I PUT HIS SALARY IN SAN ANTONIO TO SHOW THE CELTICS CAN AFFORD THIS TRADE (IT DOESN'T SHOW FOX EXTENSION KICKING IN NEXT SEASON), BUT YEAH YOU GET JAYLEN BROWN, WHO I THINK IS A MUCH BETTER FIT FOR THIS TEAM. HE CAN PRETTY MUCH DO EVERYTHING ON THE COURT, THEY NEED A TRUE SMALL FORWARD, NEXT TO THEIR TWO DYNAMIC GUARDS, WHO CAN ALSO BE A PLUS ON DEFENSE AND SHOOTING. YOU ALSO GET HERB JONES, WHO CAN HOPEFULLY RECOVER HIS SHOOTING, BUT HIS PRIMARY JOB WILL SIMPLY BE TO PLAY DEFENSE. CASTLE, HARPER, BROWN, JONES AND WEMBY IS AN ELITE DEFENSIVE LINEUP RIGHT THERE. THEY ALSO GET OFF VASSELL'S LONG CONTRACT, WHO'S GETTING OVERPAID A DECENT AMOUNT.

BULLS: THEY UPGRADE PATRICK WILLIAMS FOR A 3-D WING WHO CAN SLIDE RIGHT IN TO THE TWO-SPOT FOR THE TIME BEING, I THINK VASSELL WILL HAVE A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO THRIVE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT WITH GIDDEY AS THE FEEDER.

PELICANS: THEY NEED TO COMMIT TO A FULL REBUILD YOU HAVE FEARS AND QUEEN AS YOUR CORE AND YOU CONTINUE TO ADD. YOU GET A TOP 20 2026 DRAFT PICK ALONG WITH 3 OTHER FIRST ROUNDERS AND TWO OF YOUR OWN SECONDS BACK. YOU ALSO SHED A DECENT AMOUNT OF SALARY IN THIS DEAL. I LIKE IT FOR THE PELICANS, JUST STRAIGHT TO BUSINESS.
