Why They Do This
Orlando
Orlando isn't too far off of a playoff ready team, and solidifying their rotation should be their top priority.
Clarkson gives Orlando a clear leader in their 2nd unit. This isn't to say he couldn't start with Orlando, but having him run the 2nd unit would enable him to have complete control and run a fast paced offense.
Potential Rotations:
| Fultz | Suggs | F. Wagner | Banchero | Carter Jr.|
| Anthony | Clarkson | Houstan | Isaac | Bamba |
Utah
They need to finish blowing up the team so they can start their rebuild before the season.
They get an expiring contract in T. Ross as well as a veteran presence to mentor some of their younger players.
Okeke is a low-risk, high-upside 3&D Wing on a super cheap contract.
Adding a 1st and 2nd rounder, while pick-swapping 1sts in this upcoming draft allows them to quickly acquire top talent via the draft without committing to any huge contracts.
