Warriors receive: Brandon Ingram

Magic receive: Anfernee Simons

Pelicans receive: Deandre Ayton Caleb Houstan Lindy Waters III

Trail Blazers receive: Andrew Wiggins Cole Anthony Kevon Looney Jett Howard Magic 2026 1st Round Pick Magic 2028 1st Round Pick Warriors 2026 1st Round Pick Pelicans 2027 2nd Round Pick Warriors 2028 2nd Round Pick

Why the Warriors accept this: They get Brandon Ingram who they've been targeting for a while since Lauri Markkanen might not be an option after possibilities of an extension. They get an upgrade at SF and part ways with two players who weren't doing much for the Warriors and only get rid of one 1st.

Why the Magic accept this: They add a young scoring threat to the roster who can play both guard positions and just like the Warriors, get an upgrade at PG while parting ways with other players who weren't doing much for them but do have to give up two 1sts. This trade increases their strength for playoff runs so Magic should do this.

Why the Pelicans accept this: They complete their starting 5 with Deandre Ayton at center to help clean the glass and provide scoring as well as two extra SFs. (I feel like giving up that 2027 2nd Round Pick to the Magic was kinda unnecessary but let me know if I should keep it the way I have it in this trade or not).

Why the Blazers accept this: They keep on rebuilding and bring in Andrew Wiggins, Cole Anthony, Kevon Looney, and Jett Howard, as well as three 1sts and two 2nds. This trade allows Robert Williams III and Donovan Clingan to grow more by moving away from Deandre Ayton. (Me personally if I was the Blazers GM, I would not trade both Ayton and Simons. One has to go later on but I would want to keep one of them at least. This trade is just a possible scenario of how much compensation the Blazers could get for trading both).
