Big Game Hunting: Giannis, Jaylen Brown, Zion


SUCCESS

[ALSO INCLUDES PORTLAND SENDING THERE WORSE 2029 1ST ROUND PICK TO OKC WHICH ISN'T SHOWING UP] Why this is good for each team:

Celtics: Get an opportunity to compete with Gianis and raise their ceiling to compete for a championship.

Trail Blazers: They bring in star power to drastically raise their ceiling and possibly build a contender. They also get a point guard that could eventually fill the spot of an aging Lillard. This will likely push them into the luxury tax after resignings so you'd have to see if the new owner would cough up the money.

Pelicans: They can choose not to trade away all their parts and rather just move on from Zion in order to make way for Derik Queen who may be able to find time at the 4 next to a stretch big in Myles Turner. Also, Shaedon Sharp helps the team get younger and build into something new without becoming uncompetitive.

Thunder: They can move on from Topic who may struggle to find time in the rotation, while moving assets back a bit in exchange for an extra first and slightly moving up in this years draft. They may value Topic a little higher but it's uncertain what they'd be able to get for him.

Bucks: They can fully embrace a rebuild with four new 1st round picks in the next three years including their own. This may be the best value they can get for an aging Giannis and a bad Turner contract, but the Heat would need to prove that. This can also allow them to deal Bobby Portis for more assets if they think they can build a roster that won't fall into the bottom three of the league while rebuilding. This also works because their rebuild will line up with the Lillard money that will sit on the Payroll for the next four seasons.

Let me know if I wildly misvalued anyone or misjudged what a team would be willing to do.
