LAC: gets JCollins while he can be got for win-now trade not breaking the bank (worth giVing up late 2025 FRP A as OKC can swap), allows Kawhi to split more time at 3/4 and gives Zubac help on the boards. Swaps out Powell/Bones/TMann offense for cheaper Clarkson/CThomas, as DJJ/KDunn defense makes TMann expendable. Happy to get off PJ's contract. Playoff roster.

UTA: cements the tank with Simmons and picks up a 2025 FRP in the process. Powell deep threat (upgrade over Clarkson who's time ran out) and high-character player franchise values. Losing Sexton hurts but cost of doing business rebuild, as two 2025 FRP and massive cap space next year for FA hunting.

BKN: gets potential long-term fits Sexton (dawg), TMann (from BKN), and Bones at low cost (1 FRP) to secure Ainge's tank. Moving off DFS/CJohnson will in-turn further secure their own tank. PJ $10mm and Schroeder $13mm expiring provides cap flex next season.
