LEBRON (Luck-adjusted player Estimate using a Box prior Regularized ON-off) impact data is provided by BBall Index . See how LEBRON is calculated, and explore the data.

Blazers: Hart, Little, Keon, 2025 1st, 2027 1st, and 2 2nds --> Bridges and Craig

Blazers get the starting SF they need on a 4 year contract, giving up a massive haul, but putting them into potential contention.

Pacers: Turner, McConnell, and 2023 CLE 1st --> Ayton (S&T), Bledsoe, and 2 2nds

Pacers get an ideal center to pair with Halliburton and Mathurin, giving up players in Turner and McConnell that they are likely shopping anyways, along with a Cavs 1st that will likely be out of the lottery.

Lakers: Westbrook, THT, and 2027 1st --> Kyrie and Harris

No need to explain anything, would be an insane pickup for them.

Suns: Ayton, Bridges, Johnson, Craig, 2023 1st, 2025 1st, 2027 1st, and 2029 1st --> KD

Giving up a massive haul in exchange for KD. Bridges and Ayton are clearly not that appealing to them and that makes sense to me. If they are setting up a team with Simmons it doesn't help getting an elite center that can't shoot on a max contract. Bridges is obviously an elite defender, but his game will not compliment Simmons well, as a player that is not amazing and creating their own shot. Instead, the Suns flip Bridges and Ayton for: Hart, Turner, Little, McConnell, Keon, and 3 more firsts, providing the absurd draft compensation this trade will likely require.

Nets: KD and Kyrie --> Turner, Hart, Little, Westbrook, THT, McConnell, Keon, and 8 1st (2 in 2023, 2 in 2025, 3 in 2027, and 1 in 2029)

With no reason to tank due to not owning your own picks, the most realistic option is to acquire a large amount of cheaper assets along with an insane amount of picks for KD and Kyrie. 7 1sts for KD alone sounds about right, but tack on the fact that they will have a roster of...

Starters: PG: Curry, SG: Hart, SF: Johnson, PF: Simmons, C: Turner

Bench: PG: Westbrook, SG: THT, SF: Royce, PF: Little, C: Claxton

Reserves: McConnell, Thomas, Mills, Sharpe

...and I think it's a no brainer. That roster in itself could make the play-in in the East if Simmons plays well. This also allows the Nets to entirely reassess their roster next off-season, with Westbrooks massive contract expiring, along with Turner and Curry, and Little and Cam Johnson being eligible for rookie extensions.
