Why the Warriors accept this: Lauri Markkanen

Why the Bucks accept this: They complete their starting 5 by replacing Malik Beasley with Moses Moody, a player worth keeping for the future and preparing the replacement of Brook Lopez with Walker Kessler. Kessler is a great rim protector next to Giannis and despite not having the scoring of Brook Lopez, this allows Damian Lillard to be able to get more of his own points without Brook trying to get his fair share. Also Walker is more than a decade younger than Brook. (I was actually gonna try to add Brook Lopez into this trade somehow but I didn't know if Bucks fans would like that. If you're a Bucks fan, let me know in the comments if you'd want me to do an alternative trade where Brook is somehow involved in a trade for a Kessler or someone else.)

Why the Jazz accept this: They restart at the PF position with Kuminga and replace Kessler with Kevon Looney, and for compensation of that the Jazz gets extra guards as well as two vets in Pat and Delon Wright to teach the younglings their stuff, as well as picks. (I was thinking of adding two Warriors 2nd Round Picks instead of one, maybe no 2nds and another 1st instead, but I stuck with this. Let me know how I should adjust the picks in the comments below.)

This trade was kinda complicated as there were trade scenarios where I either added more/less players or more/less picks, but I didn't want to make one mistake and have 3 or more people come at me for that, but it is what it is.
