Explanation The Jazz plan for continued restructuring. Barnes adds stability, in-game IQ, and spacing while Huerter adds defensive versatility and spot-up shooting. They add 2 picks for future prospects including the (#13 Pick - “Ron Holland”) in addition to their (#10 Pick - “Rob Dillingham”). Dillingham could end up operating as the secondary ball handler behind All-Rookie Point Guard, Keyonte George, instead of Kris Dunn. Holland adds On-Ball Defense, Hustle, and Rim Running Athleticism, something needed at Utah. The Jazz leave plenty of Cap Space to sign a high-level scorer and have plenty of picks to use as trade assets.

Explanation The Kings plan for a playoff run, adding size and spacing with Markkanen. They hold onto their sixth man of the year candidate in Monk, who operates as their secondary ball handler and shot creator. This trade keeps them under the tax for future expected extensions for Ellis, Murray, and Markkanen. If Markkanen doesn’t work out they can move him the following year with no real damage to the core that made it to the play-in game.
