Trade goes Dec 16. By then Russell can be traded and DET stays out of the tax.

Pistons get their man (Markkanen), better bench shooting (Hardy) and more playmaker depth (Russell over Sasser)

The prizes for the Jazz are Holland and the unprotected '30 1st. Jazz get a Markkanen "replacement" (Grant), a temp Kessler replacement (Williams), a lottery prospect and 3 1sts. The Blazer have two picks in '28 - the Jazz get whichever pick is highest beyond the top 8.

The Mavs save some money, get out of a player the coach doesn’t want, and get to see if two former 1sts can reach their ceiling.

The Blazers give up a '28 first to save some money now, a lot of money later, and bring home Love (just for kicks).
