I got this idea from mkpolich, but I thought the Lakers' end was a bit light, so I made a couple of revisions: https://fanspo.com/nba/s/general/trades/c0_NSD65hKwp9m/danny-ainge-is-a-wizard

Lakers: They unload Westbrook and replace him with a quality starting PG just over a year removed from an All-Star appearance. With Fournier they have a new starting SG who will work well within their system and provide more shooting for Lebron. Beverly isn't happy in Utah and would gladly go back to LA where he will backup Conley and provide a switchable 6th-man who plays at the end of games (when they're ahead). Gay is a bit of throw-in, but he should fill much of Carmelo's role from the last 2 seasons. Most importantly, they only sacrifice one 1st rd pick, as they've been unwilling to add the 2029 pick to their deals thus far.

Knicks: Pretty straight-forward - they get their man in Donovan Mitchell. I'm not a huge fan of a Brunson/Mitchell backcourt, as they'll struggle vs larger opponents, but the Knicks have made their target clear. The 5 picks (4 1sts and 1 2nd), two swaps and 2 young players is a reasonable sacrifice for the new face-of-the-franchise.

Jazz: They get a boat-load of picks (5 1sts; 3 2nds; 2 swaps) While unloading future salary and keeping all of their young building pieces for the future. THT provides some upside and if I'm Utah I keep Westbrook for the season. They need someone to fill seats while they tank and Westbrook is the perfect man for the job.

This trade is effective August 30th. Let me know what you guys think.
