LAKERS: YOU TRADE LUKA AND REAVES. OKAY WHAO. BUT... YOU GET JARED MCCAIN (COULD BE A FUTURE ALL-STAR). FORGET THE OTHER PLAYERS INVOLVED. YOU GET 3 FIRST-ROUND PICKS IN A LOADED 2026 DRAFT CLASS. THIS YEAR'S CLASS IS GOING TO BE TOP HEAVY AND DEEP BECAUSE OF THE NEW NIL WAVE, RESULTING IN LATE FIRST-ROUND TALENTS RETURNING TO COLLEGE TO PLAY INSTEAD. YOU GET ACCESS TO THE CLIPPERS 2029 PICK TOP-3 PROTECTED. YOU GET TWO FIRSTS IN 2028. YOU ALSO GET A SWAP WITH TORONTO IN 2030 ON TOP OF ANOTHER FIRST. YOU ALSO GET A FIRST IN 2032. YOU GET 6 FIRSTS AND TWO HIGH-VALUE SWAPS. I MEAN, IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THAT.

PACERS: THIS IS LOWKEY A GREAT DEAL. YOU GIVE UP TWO ROTATION PIECES, BUT OUTSIDE OF LUKA AND HALI, YOU KEEP T.J., BEN, NESMITH AND YOU HAVE OBI AND JARACE AT PF, I MEAN THAT'S A ROTATION OF SEVEN PLAYERS PLUS YOUR TWO CENTERS (WHICH I THINK THEY'LL FIGURE OUT. I THINK THIS WILL ALLOW THEM TO COMPETE FOR A RING FOR THE NEXT 7 YEARS.

76ERS: YOU HAVE V.J. AND QUENTIN GRIMES. MCCAIN ISN'T A PURE POINT GUARD AND PAUL GEORGE SUCKS. YOU GET A YOUNGER SIAKAM AND A DEFENSE HEAVY JARRED VANDERBILT WHO HELP AND SOME SIZE LENGTH AND SHOOTING IN PLACE OF TWO INJURY RIDDLED PLAYERS.

RAPTORS: YOU ACQUIRE A CHEAPER AND BETTER FITTING BACKCOURT THAT ALLOW THIS TEAM TO MAKE A LEGIT PLAYOFF RUN. YOU GET CHEAPER CONTRACTS, YES REAVES WILL GET PAID BUT I'D RATHER PAY REAVES 25-30M A YEAR THAN GIVING IT TO IMAN. NEMBHARD IS ON A CHEAPER AND GREAT DEAL, SO I THINK THIS MOVE IS GREAT FOR THE RAPTORS.
