Wizards trade Davis, a FRP via PHX and 3 second rounders for Sabonis. A nice rebounder and assistant to help Trae get some off ball plays (big screen playbook coming up with Dybantsa and Sarr to get open 3 pointers for Trae). Also a viable pick-and-pop option with AJ driving in. Sabonis and Sarr are a good fit both offensively and deffensively imo. Makes more sense than AD, and his availability is way higher. They also save 13M/year to make cap space to get picks by being the third party in a trade, a well as for next year renovations.

Kings finally do a good trade, and get Holiday and Turner for Sabonis and Hunter. They also get 5 second round picks. Holiday is a good mentor for Acuff, and would play alongside him on the 2. Lavine can play the 3. Turner is a value-rehab project on the starting defensive 5, and he earns half as much as Sabonis. Better defense on the inside and the outside, and a better structured payroll according to team's needs. They get 2 defensive leaders to help the team grow a competitive mentality. Acuff would get more on-ball time with Sabonis out of the team, which would help his development as the team's new franchise leader.

Bucks get back their picks (they get the better swap) for 2028 and 2030. They trade Turner, Kuzma, and 2 second round picks for AD and Hansen. AD will be long-time injured (as he always is), and won't play until he gets traded next season as a 58M expiring contract. Him not playing would actually help develop the young exterior players (Ament would play the 4, giving Burries, Herro, Rollins, Jaime, Jakucionis and AJ more minutes in the perimeter). Hansen is an interesting prospect to be Ware's backup in the future. Smart move for what I personally project to be the one of the worst-record teams in the league in the next 3 years. They NEED their picks back URGENTLY. I would actually trade Herro to New Orleans (Herro for Poole + FRP?) to somehow get their 2027 pick back, together with the Pelicans' one. Rebuild times, tough times... but they have some interesting young pieces. They just need some better ones, and some patience. Ament, Burries, Rollins, Ware... all good young players with big potential, but not top 10 of the league potential. They need a star. And they are Milwaukee, one of the smallest markets. They need to rebuld through top draft picks while developing their young players (which translates into losing games), so they need their picks. There is no way around. Also obviously trade Levert, Sims or Kevin Porter if someone is crazy enough to offer any pick for them As well as get involved in other trades as a facilitator in order to get picks.

Blazers trade Holiday, Hansen, and 2028 FRP via Orlando for Michael Porter Jr and Ben Saraf. They also switch their 2028 and 2030 swap possibilities with Milwaukee, getting the worse of both swaps. Essentially, they get Porter Jr for Holiday and 1 FRP. They trade a PG and a C (which they have too many) for 2 wings (which they lack too many). Better roster compensation and they get the best player in the deal. They get a 3-point star to play alongside Clingan and Avdija. Great catch-and-shoot player to open the court in the corner and to help Lillard and Ja when they get doubled or find trouble attacking the rim. Porter's spacing ability and his height are MUCH needed in Portland with the current roster and Sharpe's injury. Camara would come off the bench as a defensive specialist, conseving a big role even though. Man...this roster is weird lol. But I can't wait to watch them.

Nets get Hunter, Kuzma, and 2 FRP for Porter Jr and Ben Saraf. Fair price imo. They are 20 and 24M expiring contracts. They can probably get some more picks (second rounders) by the deadline if they flip them again. Or they can make the switch and trade by the deadline some 9-16M contracts (Mann + Wagner + Ellis) and some of their 35 picks for a big contract in a bad-record, rebuilding team (Zion, Ingram?). They could make their rebuild faster this way. They have a long way ahead anyways, so 2 FRP, Hunter and Kuzma for Porter seems like a good deal for now.
