Pistons land a top 3 player in the league in Giannis Antetokounmpo as the Bucks look to rebuild and Pistons look to contend in a wide open Eastern Conference. Pistons also use their league-leading cap space to sign a stretch 5 in Myles Turner to replace Duren and play next to Giannis. Also resign Malik Beasley and Dennis Schroder.

Bucks receive a haul including 4 future first round picks, 2 great. high-upside players in Jaden Ivey and Austins Reaves, and 2 expiring contracts at $34m combined. This will jumpstart their rebuild by receiving 2 all-star caliber, young pieces to build around for the future, and 4 future first round picks.

Lakers receive one of the best emerging centers in the NBA in Jalen Duren WHO IS STILL ONLY 20 YEARS OLD. Not only will this help them contend, but they will have a top 3 lob threat in the league to pair with Luka Doncic for years to come. While they will be sad to see Austin Reaves go, they land a higher upside player that fills the biggest hole on their roster.

Pistons 14-man lineup (Should probably run 9-man due to lack of depth):

• Cade/Beasley/Ausar/Giannis/Turner

• Schroder/Sasser/Holland/Klintman/Stewart

• Jenkins/Waters/(Draft)/Reed

I have a hard time seeing how this team doesn't seriously contend for a championship and secure the 1 seed in the East.
