Spurs get: Brandon Ingram Bruce Brown

Pelicans get: Kyle Kuzma Blake Wesley Spurs 2025 2nd Round Pick

Raptors get: Keldon Johnson Zach Collins Marvin Bagley III Tre Jones

Wizards get: Kelly Olynyk Chris Boucher Ochai Agbaji Spurs 2025 1st Round Pick Raptors 2026 1st Round Pick Spurs 2026 2nd Round Pick Spurs 2027 2nd Round Pick Spurs 2028 2nd Round Pick

Why the Spurs accept this: It's such a risky move and I feel like they will want to decline if they wish to continue tanking or don't want to risk Ingram rejecting an extension, which is understandable, but if they want to go all out for this season and maybe try to make the playoffs with CP3 on a rental, this is the trade. They also get Bruce Brown to strengthen the 1 and 2 positions since Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle might have to play the 3 at times. One of the problems with this trade letting go of Zach Collins, because it will weaken the FC but in the end they get a borderline All-Star as well as picking up Bruce Brown who might want to extend.

Why Pelicans accept this: They replace Brandon Ingram with Kyle Kuzma who is a little less than 10% worse at basketball than B.I., but get two additional assets in Blake Wesley and a 2nd for next year. They do this trade while still guaranteeing making it into the playoffs.

Why Raptors accept this: This trade improves the roster DRASTICALLY and gets rid of three guys in their 30's, move on from Bruce Brown, and only sacrifice one 1st to get 4 younger guys and add insane amounts of quality all around. There is absolutely no reason the Raptors decline this. I might have to remove another 1st from their treasure chest with this trade.

Why Wizards accept this: My battery is about to run out so Wizards rebuild with extra players with leadership and get picks, goodbye.
