kings win by building a sustainable young core with draft assets and controllable contracts instead of paying for a "win-now" roster. sac moves out aging vets, gets young core with controlled salaries (-ish?). salary flexibility-wise the kings will be able to absorb younger salaries and potentially move lavine (or westbrook) later

nets get win-now upgrade: sabonis immediately upgrades offense/rebounding with bogie adds shooting. schroder and lopez give experienced rotation pieces around danny wolf, egor denim, nolan traore, ben saraf, drake powell. brooklyn wins by adding an all-nba centerpiece and immediate playoff contention

clips win financially and strategically, not competitively tho. they retain clean salary and preserve future picks for demar+keon+wilson
