Trade:

BKN: Hachimura, Kennard, 2024 first round pick via PHX, 2025 MEM first round pick, 2030 LAL first round pick

LAL: Finney-Smith

MEM: Claxton

Nets:

A few contenders are looking to trade for Dorian Finney-Smith to upgrade their defense, Lakers are one of the favourites. Although Hachimura has suffered from injuries this season, he is still young and has value in the trade market, which Nets can either move him again or continue to develop him. For Claxton, I'm not saying the Nets will trade him, but some teams like Grizzlies are desperately in need of a center who can defend and rebound well. Getting Kennard as a salary dumper, as well as two first round as a return seem pretty good for Brooklyn, although the 2025 first rounder might be a late one as the Grizzlies core returns next year.

Lakers:

Pretty simple, DFS can upgrade Lakers in both side of the floor. Lakers have some struggles in terms of scoring, which Finney-Smith can help with. Trading Rui might not seem to be a good decision, but his continuous injuries is starting to become a drag-back for the Lakers.

Grizzlies:

Although their season is pretty much over, trading for a big would not be a bad idea. Claxton has the skillset that Memphis needs, and they are very very desperate to have a big who can actually rebound well. Kennard is a salary dumper, the Grizzlies would not need him much anyways.
