Trail Blazers

What they gave up: Damian Lillard, 2026 Less Favorable FRP (POR), 2027 Less Favorable FRP (POR), 2029 Less Favorable FRP (POR)

What they got back: Duncan Robinson, Doug McDermott, Devonte' Graham, Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic, 2025 FRP (ATL), 2026 More Favorable FRP (MIA), 2027 More Favorable FRP (MIA), 2028 FRP (MIA), 2029 More Favorable FRP (MIA), 2030 FRP (MIA)

Why they do it: The Trail Blazers obviously aren't winning anything with their current roster. This trade allows them to enter their rebuilding stage and build around Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson. They receive 3 FRPs and 3 pick swaps as well as a few quality role players.

Starting 5: Scoot Henderson-Anfernee Simons-Shaedon Sharpe-Jerami Grant-Jusuf Nurkic

76ers

What they gave up: James Harden

What they got back: Norman Powell, Marcus Morris, 2028 Top 3 Protected FRP (LAC), 2030 Top 8 Protected FRP (LAC)

Why they do it: James Harden doesn't want to play for the 76ers and he is 100% the type of guy to hold out if he doesn't get what he wants. He demands a trade and the 76ers move on from him. They get a few lightly protected picks as well as some good role players to help build around Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.

Starting 5: Tyrese Maxey-Normal Powell-Tobias Harris-Marcus Morris-Joel Embiid

Heat

What they gave up: Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro, Caleb Martin, Nikola Jovic, 2026 More Favorable FRP (MIA), 2027 More Favorable FRP (MIA), 2028 FRP (MIA), 2029 More Favorable FRP (MIA), 2030 FRP (MIA)

What they got back: Damian Lillard, Terrance Mann, 2026 Less Favorable FRP (POR), 2027 Less Favorable FRP (POR), 2029 Less Favorable FRP (POR)

Why they do it: The Heat's championship window is closing. They lost many key role players like Gabe Vincent and Max Strus in free agency. They need to make a splash. Lillard wants to play in Miami and the Heat need Lillard. This is a match made in heaven and they'd 100% be willing to give up some role playes and a few FRPs to make it happen.

Starting 5: Damian Lillard-Josh Richardson-Jimmy Butler-Kevin Love-Bam Adebayo

Clippers

What they gave up: Norman Powell, Marcus Morris, Terrance Mann, 2028 Top 3 Protected FRP (LAC), 2030 Top 8 Protected FRP (LAC)

What they got back: James Harden

Why they do it: The Clippers are another team with a slim championship window. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are aging and have injury problems. With all that they gave up to get those two, they have to make this move as a last ditch desperation effort to win a chip. It almost certainly will backfire big time and blow up in their face, but they still have to take the risk.

Starting 5: Russell Westbrook-James Harden-Paul George-Kawhi Leonard-Ivica Zubac

Spurs

What they gave up: Doug McDermott, Devonte' Graham, 2025 FRP (ATL)

What they got back: Tyler Herro

Why they do it: The Spurs are just building around Victor Wembanyama now. They need to put the perfect team around him. Tyler Herro fits well alongside Wembanyama and instantly makes their team better. This team will be ready to compete in a few years.

Starting 5: Tyler Herro-Malaki Branham-Devin Vassell-Keldon Johnson-Victor Wembanyama
