HEAT:

Trade: Jimmy Butler (Hawks) Tyler Herro (Magic) Pick 15th (Hawks)

For: Dejounte Murray (Hawks) Onyeka Okongwu (Hawks) Brandon Ingram (Pelicans) Picks 18th (Magic)

Explanation: Jimmy Butler id gonna demand an extension and Heat can't scape that problem with his age and reduce effort in regular season, is time to trade him. Atlanta needs a defensive player with experience and comptetivines that Jimmy has. In exchange, they receive Murray, that's the PG they require. With Herro Murray and Rozier the perimeter has a lot of players so they go get Ingram to be the primary scorer. Picks exchange is for compensation.

Draft targets:

Pick 18

Dream: Devin Carter: The pick I have mocked for them at 15 if it falls is the perfect backup PG

Realistic 1: Jared McCain: The other PG for backup, more of a shooter

Realistic 2: Ryan Dunn: Defensive menace, NBA ready and Heat culture

Reach: Juan Nuñez: The backup PG but nor really an NBA player not very athletic, bad shooter he's an organizing PG

Pick 43

I don't have extended knowledge in the second round, so I possibly make errors, please correct me if necessary

Option 1: Nikola Djurisic

Option 2: Pj Hall

Option 3: Cameron Christie

Lineups:

Dejounte Murray, Terry Rozier, Brandon Ingram, Nikola Jovic, Bam Adebayo

Jarred McCain, Josh Richardson, Duncan Robinson, Onyeka Okongwu, Orlando Robinson

Kevin Love, Haywood Highsmith, Nikola Djurisic

HAWKS: trade: Dejounte Murray (Heat) Onyenka Okongwu (Heat) FRP 2029 Unprotected

for: Jimmy Butler (Heat) Pick 15th (Heat)

Explanation: Trae and Dejounte don't work out together, so they have to separate. Elite two-way wing in Butler that will help them compete and get out of that mediocrity that they have been last years. Because of all of that and having the 1st and 15th, they can get some cheap and good players to convince Trade to continue with them and challenge for a run like the 2021 one.

Draft targets:

1st pick:

Option 1: Alex Sarr: They get a versatile big defensive monster and a lob threat next to Trae. Literally what they need. Only correct option.

15th pick

Dream 1: Dalton Knecht: NBA ready, absolute sniper, good size and not a liability in defense. Could be de SG/SF competing with Griffin and Bogi for the starting five.

Dream 2: Cody Williams: J Dub brother same skill set, very strong and good finisher around the rim. It's a little more realistic because if the Thunder pass on him at 12 it could fall

Realistic 1: Tristan Da Silva: Huge NBA ready prospect very similar to Knecht better defender and worst shooter

Realistic 2: Ja'Kobe Wakker SG good shooter and not bad at all in defense.

Reach: Bobi Klintman a defensive monster that is too raw in attack.

Lineups:

Trae Young, Bogdan Bogdanović, Jimmy Butler, Jalen Johnson, Alex Sarr

Kobe Bufkin, Ja'Kobe Walker, AJ Griffin, Vir Krekji, Clint Capela

Bruno Fernando

PELICANS:

Trade: Brandon Ingram (Hawks) C.J McCollum (Trail Blazers) sign&trade Jonas Valanciunas (Magic)

for: Jerami Grant (Trail Blazers) Wendell Carter Jr (Magic) Anthony Black (Magic) 2029 FRP top 10 protected (Hawks)

Explanation: Pelicans have to reset the team and rebuild around Zion, Herbert Jones and Murphy. With the Ingram trade they could strat both of them. Valanciunas isn't fitting with the timeline and you can get a more mobile and younger center in WC JR. McCollum isn't working so if you can change him for a elite role player in a championship team in Jerami Grant your team becomes elite.

Draft targets:

Pick 17

Dream: Devin Carter: This would make their defense elite an they really need a PG

Realistic 1: Isaiah Collier: Bulldozer good finisher and an underrated playmaker

Realistic 2: Jarred Mcain: Very good PG

Pick 21
