why each team does it?

the kat knicks has been shown flaws over the last few weeks and has been a weakspot in some knicks lineups the knicks try to relive some cap space and put more defensive oreinted players around brunson and co as well as adding capital for any potential future trades.

Portland are ready to go star shopping and while kat at times can be a negative is still a elite level offensive big man who can quickly evalate the ceiling of the portland team, with defensive pieces such as clingan, camara, holiday and deni around him they are able to cover some more of the defensive issues.

Kings are a dumpster fire of an organisation taking in any capital for any of their players would be a huge win.
