CAVS: The Cavs trade away a lottery protected first that would turn into 2 seconds (both in 2027) if not conveyed that year. They also give up 3 more seconds. For the Cavs, lets face it. Nobody wants that horrific contract, therefore they will have to pay a LOT in order to get rid of it. This actually isn't too bad. The 76ers had to give up a future first rounder to get rid of Al, and this is like a future first rounder. They give away a bunch of seconds in order to get rid of him. Losing those seconds would be tough, but they have a lot of seconds. What is harder to do is to lose all of that money from Kevin Love's horrible contract, and they even get 0 dollars, and a 31 million dollar TPE (worth about 2-3 seconds). The other the seconds (the 2027 seconds because the pick won't convey, and the Milwaukee picks) is worth a 31 million dollar TPE because they should all be late, so its 2 earlier seconds worth a late first to get out of his contract. The cavs will also need to leftover money. They are repordatly offering Allen a 4 year 100 million dollars this offseason, so with him and Sexton, the money will be spent, so if they pass, then the owners will lose out on about 80 million or probably even more dollars. Doubt they would want to do that, so they give up some seconds (have plenty of those) and get a giant TPE.

HORNETS: THIS HAPPENS IF THEY CANT FIND A CENTER IN FA. If they can't do that, then they add Al, who despite being old has been good whenever he has played. The Hornets didn't have a big, and it costed them, probably not making it to the playoffs. If they get that big them they can be good. Horford is a solid big who is earning 27 million, so despite being a negative asset is a good player, so the Hornets even get some picks with him.

OKC: The Thunder should still look at a 3rd player and a number 1 option because why not. However, they still shouldn't look to give up major assets to get that player. In this trade, they agree to do a sign and trade with John Collins, and give up Al Horford, Moses Brown, Kenrich Williams and a pair f first rounders. For OKC, Kenrich Williams is a solid role player, but doesn't quite fit their timeline, and if he does then just barely. Moses Brown has been good, but hasn't been amazing or anything, and won't be the 3rd star. The Thunder have plenty of first rounders, many better then these, so trading those shouldn't hurt the team too much. However, if they can get Collins, then they will be in a way better shape. Collins has been a good 2nd/3rd option next to Shai, and is a big threat offensively. He can hit the 3, and is a big lob threat while being efficient. Adding him would give Shai another player, and would make him more efficient.

HAWKS: For the Hawks, the money for Collins is tight. Look at the salary sheet, and you'll see what I mean in a couple years. With the owners potentially being cheaper, a sign and trade for Collins could the best idea. In this trade, they add Moses Brown, a huge upgrade in the backup 5 role, and Kenrich Williams, a good defender. To make the package even better they also get a couple first rounders, in a very fair sign and trade package where they don't have to give Collins the max.

For the draft, I wouldn't draft Kuminga. My dream would be to get Mobley to get the Shai-COllins-Mobley trio, that would be amazing. If they get lets say the 4th and 5th pick, then I'd see if I could get the 2nd pick and give the 4th pick, and maybe 2 more future first rounders, or MAYBE I'd give the 4th and 5th pick.

OTHER PROJECTS: Basically anyone let go that is young kind of what they did to Moses Brown, take him and try and get value out of that player.
