Why the Pelicans do it: It's pretty simple. Ingram is expiring and could leave for nothing. They need a center, so they go after Kessler.

Why the Jazz do it: Apparently, they have been shopping Kessler and they get off the Collins contract while getting a valuable first.

Why the Spurs do it: San Antonio is ready to compete with Wemby. Ingram will re-sign with San Antonio and they take the risk here.

NOTE: The 2025 ATL first is lottery protected to SA.
