VERY IMP: pistons get the 2029 srp via mem and another 2027 second from nets as well as 2025 second from lal

If (when) the bucks lose in the first/second round of the playoffs, milwaukee is gonna need to make some big decision to keep Giannis happy, especially in his prime.

WHY THE BUCKS DO THIS: They come out of the second apron, and get amazing players to surround giannis with. along with some young talent.

WHY LAKERS DO THIS: They get a true center, whose a great defender and also get some solid picks. Knecht isnt gelling too well w the team rn so they use him at his high. Although they lose out of V8 whose a good perimeter defender, they still get back melton who isnt a bad perimeter defender either.

WHY NETS DO THIS: They sell high on claxton, who doesnt exactly fit their time stamps, and lets dayrone develop. they get tobias harris who can help guide the team w the last stretch of their rebuild while still being a role player (reminder: they bought out bogdanovic)

WHY MAGIC DO THIS: Magic get thei star PG, who eliminates their lack of shooting and can help mentor the young players on the team. They also get a grade backup pf with bobby portis, further anchoring their interior defense.

WHY PISTONS DO THIS: Pistons get a power forward who better suits their timeline and can make a bigger run in the 2025-26 playoffs. better fits timeline as kuz is a diminishing contract.
