Celts: score OG too because he's just such a fucking winner. Great personality fit. Celtics are left with Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Payton Pritchard, Cooper Flagg, AJ Dybantsa, OG Anunoby, Sam Hauser, Amari Williams, + whoever they draft.

why Mavs do it: they don't. but imagine for some reason they do this, & they get 5 real players back. & to get back into the draft in the near future. They don't want to wait until 2028 before they really try to strike gold in the draft, because they think Cooper Flagg is just going to be a normal decent player, not an over-the-top, phenomenal winner you can build a team around. [without 3-4 other great players there first.] Also they're trying to earn good Karma and feel letting Cooper Flagg go home to Boston will bring them prosperity in the future, which will be a nice redemption story, after this whole Luka debacle. Imagine they get rewarded with valuable inside information about the talent I helped grow (I'm World-Wide Wes- mj, Kobe- SlayerS_b0xer, Faker. Hannah Baker), so they get whispered a name or 2 or 3, through a Battle.net chat, sent by Tim Duncan himself, about who the next [Kobe/Giannis/Ginobli] is. Whoever up next. It's still a gamble. It's just, less of a gamble when you know the heart behind the dark horse you're betting on. Sometimes it's as simple as, you knew the most important ingredient was there

Knicks: they just love Derrick White. Hugo good too.

Wizards: get 3 decent players from the Celts, say they didn't believe the Dybantsa hype and just wanted someone to help out AD now, and they like Queta's contract. idk. Weirder things have happened. Actually no. This might have to be the weirdest thing in sports history if all this actually comes true.

ATL get picks galore.
