So first of all, This deal is how badly I wanna see Duren leaving us like never playing again for us. The way he’s acting is super cringy and he’s about to fumble a very huge huge bag.

Secondly, This trade helps Pistons to get rid of their "Wanna Be Kareem", and gets one of the best rebounding centre for starting and bench unit. This deal might look more about Sabonis but sadly this is more about Nurkic and 1st. Nurkic has successfully been a good centre recently and has developed his 3pt shooting too. He is the type of guy that Pistons should look to add, not the a Duren. Adding Nurkic lets us get best of BBall Reed by moving him to PF spot and focused him more on scoring the ball, driving the paint and all the extra stuff we really need. Nurkic just doesn't make BBall Reed better, he can take pressure off Ausar who is small size rebounder and sometimes get bullied. Then with that Sac' 28 picks(top 3 protected), we can add another young player from 2028 draft. Also, we rejected Sabonis + 2 1sts for Duren which seems pretty bad for me as a fan perspective so this time we settle for something great and what actually we need.

For the Jazz after how negative Lively has been talking lately in media day & social media and sice he believes "He feel like he is not the same he used to be" so he get his ass packed up to Utah where he can develop around Keyonte, Peterson and Bailey. They also add a shooter + a vet who'll actually play and mentor young core. They add a young centre and a vet shooter who can shoot elite 3s on and off the bench very cheaply.

For the Mavs, having a negative player like Lively is just messing up with team chemistry. He has been bullshitting lately and acting like a vet going to his 30s. So they trade him Utah for a 31 1st round pick while adding Svi and Lanier too. Lanier has shown potential in the G-League that he can be an effective shooter and Svi who has shown some flashes of good shooting. This takes pressure off Flagg, Risacher to fully focus on overall game than 3pt shooting and stuff.

For the Kings, they think Duren is another good piece to build around Acuff so they just seems to agree happily with the value they get. They have offered Duren + 2 1sts and tbh, Duren is really a good piece to build with Acuff(unless Kings start talking about cheaper deal like 5 year $199 Million) with all his pick & roll, rebounding and stuff. They also add Sasser, a really good backup for Acuff who can score and do his own stuff. He reminds me of Kyrie a bit and all he needs is developmental minutes which he sadly didn't get in his Detroit time.
