Rockets acquire 2 big names, Devin Booker and Brandon Ingram, to pair alongside Alperen Sengun to form a pseudo Denver Nuggets (Sengun -> Jokic, Booker -> Murray, Ingram -> Porter Jr. They surround this team with shooting (Reed Sheppard, Jabari Smith Jr), defense (Amen Thompson, Jose Alvarado), and athleticism (Tari Eason), the perfect recipe for a championship contender.

Suns reset with Devin Booker and acquire most of their picks back, plus two extra 2027 and 2028 Rockets first round picks and Jalen Green, who showed flashes that he can be as dynamic of a guard as Booker in March/April. There likely involves a KD trade and/or maybe a Beal trade in the future to complete the rebuild.

Pelicans finally give the starting role to Trey Murphy III off the bench, acquire an intriguing piece in Cam Whitmore off the bench, replace the Jose Alvarado pesky defensive minutes with Dillon Brooks, and pick up a viable center that can replace Daniel Theis (it's bad at the center spot in New Orleans) at the 5.
