Suns:

• they blow up the KD/Book duo and get a lot of assets in return

• the player material received in the trade is good enough to keep them afloat for one season to block Washington’s pick swap —> even if the Wizards over perform the suns have the rights to their pick from 11-30

• Phoenix clears their books with an exception for Jalen Green after 26-27 (Randle, Beal, Brooks all gone) —> they have a lot of cap space in a stacked FA class in 20287 —> Phoenix holds the right to two very valuable FRP in 2027 (own, either HOU/BKN)

Wolves:

• They’ve been linked to KD for a while now and get him for the KAT package and their 31’ FRP (Dillingham)

• Naz needs to decline his PO for the trade but that’s something he’s doing regardless —> he can still resign for a bigger contract

• They still have pick #31 to shop around for a Conley upgrade

Rockets:

• After years of rumors and a Jalen Green disaster class in the playoffs they finally go after Book and reunite him with Mikal Bridges

• they decline FVVs PO and resign him and Adams to team friendly deals

• Pretty simple adjustment that brings them a lot closer to OKC

Knicks

• the first step into contention is to replace Thibs with a modern coach (Malone/Spolstra)

• The team is very talented but in the same time misses a lot of things to be able to compete with Boston or OKC

• This trade immediately solves playmaking, shooting and wing depth for them while also opening up the tax MLE to improve team depth

• the goal of this years draft is to add nba ready talent —> I’d like to see them draft someone like Lendeborg at #29 because he compliments the current front court so well

• Vet depth is very important and something this years team lacks —> the additions of Horford (tax MLE), Wright and maybe Batum help this teams depth a lot

Depth: PG: JB, Dillingham, Wright SG: Donte, Brea (#49) SF: OG, Hart, Whitmore PF: KAT, Yaxel C: Mitch, Horford, Hukporti
