DRAFT NIGHT PART: #20 to Utah for #29, #32 and a 31-45 protected second in 2029

WHY UTAH DO IT:

For Markkanen and Clarkson: 4 firsts, a swap, Jovic, Daniels, Herro to re-route to another team, plus Rozier and CLV who could also bring some small assets.

WHY PELS DO IT:

Starting 5: CJ, Herb, Trey, Zion, Markkanen

Bench: Alva, Hawkins, Robinson, Marshall, Nance + 2 firsts

Zion surrounded by crazy shooting, now nobody can guard him in the paint.

WHY MIAMI DO IT:

Resign their own players with their own non, early or full birds

Starting 5: Mitchell, Jimmy, JJJ, Collins, Adebayo

Bench: Delon, Martin, Highsmith, Wade, Love

The last chance for a ring with Jimmy.

WHY CAVS DO IT:

Why 2 different trades? So they can select whoever they want in the draft

This year they won't pay luxury because of the incoming Mobley's extension, so I had to find a way to stay below tax. That's the reason why the didn't resign Okoro yet.

Trading #20 for #29 and #32 allows me to save money this year.

That's the max I can give to Okoro, it should be enough.

2024-25 team. We are 1 million below tax with 14 players on the roster. In march I can add the last one in the buyout market.

Starting 5: Garland, Strus, Ingram, Mobley, Allen

Bench: Porter, Clarkson, Okoro, Niang, draft

Now they are a much more balanced team, much better defensively on the perimeter. Clarkson would bring energy off the bench.
