Jazz bottom out to keep their top 8 protected pick and collect 3 firsts for Lauri and Collins who are on big contracts. They also get Time Lord and Knect to add to the young core. Grant and Val are on long term money but can be flipped later on or used as the foundation of star trade in 2026 if Utah get a top pick.

Lakers move on from bad role players and an unsettled Knect and get an athletic stretch five.

Kings get extra talent to pair with Sabonis and Lavine to remain relevant.

Portland get off the horrible Grant contract and get a wing scorer to help them compete for the playoffs and develop their young core. They also get $22.5m in expirings which would be leveraged along with Ayton to get a star at the deadline.
