I posted a poll on where Dame should go, i rlly do think Portland should trade him and rebuild, but looks like not much of yall like this idea, and think Portland still build and win with him, so yea this trade is based on Portland being a buying team.

Trade:

Knicks: Markelle Fultz

Portland: Johnathan Isaac, Terence Ross, Mo Bamba (3 year 50M)

Magic: Danilo Gallinari, Eric Bledsoe, 20th pick, 2024 MIA srp, 2025 MIL frp, 2023 NO srp

Spurs: Derrick Rose, 35th pick

Hawks: Zach Collins, Josh Hart

Knicks:

Knicks is a rebuilding team to me, but here i think they can use Rose, to move for a former 1st pick, who's alrdy a bust but i think he can still be a solid PG for a team. He's not a good shooter as a PG, but then in the Knicks team, Quickley, RJ and Toppin are all starting guys who can shoot alrdy. Markelle also hv the quickness, Knicks isn't giving up much here as a rebuilding team and i think it worths a risk.

Lineup: Fultz Davis RJ Toppin Bagley III

Reserves: Quickley McBride Grimes Reddish Kemba Fournier Bogdan Green (42th pick) (FA)

Waived: Taj

Remarks: I assumed Mitch Rob leaving, i think a playoffs team will throw a good deal for him. (for example the Grizz, a frontcourt of Mitch Rob and JJJ will be deadly)

: Roster linked up with the Hawks trade: https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/trades/n-8rS1dnuiqeyU/the-offseason-trades-for-the-atlanta-hawks-needed

Expectation: 9-11th seed

Blazers:

This team is kinda in the middle of rebuild and playoffs, but seems like they want to win with Dame so their aim is to make the playoffs. They add Ross, who's a SG, got some defense which is needed beside either Simons and Dame. He can also shoot a bit. They got Isaac, who didn't touch the court for so long, but when he's healthy he's a real defensive beast, and defense is a big part of what Blazers need to add. They also got Bamba on S&T, Blazers need a new C, not sure if they're gonna resign Nurk. And personally I think Bamba still hv the potential, it's worth to take a risk on Bamba and Isaac, they will form a great defensive frontcourt if they're not injured. They don't even need to give up much for this trade they just trade a frp and Hart to get 3 rotational pieces

Lineup: Lillard Dort Mathurin Isaac Bamba

Reserves: Simons Ross Winslow Little Brown Keon Watford Didi (36th pick) (59th pick)

Expectation: 5-7th seed

Magic:

They got the 1st pick, super lucky. This team is on rebuild, Ross is the first guy they want to trade. Bamba according to Magic, he's on the trade block also (although I like him to stay). Isaac didn't touch the court for more than 2 years alrdy. I think it's best to trade him when he still got the value. In this trade they will take back 1 frp 2 srp moving up 15 spots. Adding their picks up for their rebuild, and eating 40M of bad contracts, and clear up 40M for next season.

Lineup: Suggs Cole Franz Paolo WCJ

Reserve: Branham Okeke RJ (20th pick) Gallinari Mo Bol (3 FA)

Expectation: 13-15th seed

Hawks:

Just to get them as much defensive help as possible, as trae young = no D, they will trade Gailo who I would say as a bad contract for him, and 2 srp for Hart. They also eat Zach Collins's 2 year contract, that will save them a frp and instead giving 2 srp. Now in this new built Hawks team there will be Burks, Hunter, Diallo and Hart who are all guys that can fill out his defense

Lineup: Trae Hart Hunter Randle Capela

Reserves: Burks Diallo Huerter Collins Okongwu Cooper Johnson (32th pick) (44th pick) (FA)

Expectation: 5-7th seed

Spurs:

Ik they still not look like a ready playoffs team, but then I think, I believe they will be next season. With Lavine probably joining this team, I think they will be the surprising team next season. They now will get D Rose on a super cheap price, trading a bad contract Collins and moving down 15 spots to get him. Don't get me wrong Tre Jones is good but I think D Rose is a way better 6th man. He will be impactful with his experience and his leadership

Lineup: Murray Lavine Vassell Wood Poeltl

Reserves: Rose Tre Primo Dieng KBD Landale Keldon (35th pick) (25th pick) (FA)

Expectation: 4-6th seed
