3 Team Trade---Hawks Set for Siakam, Nets Improve Draft Capital, Heat Contend for Championships


SUCCESS

This trade overall is best for the Hawks--the addition of the '27 PHI protected 1st allows for their '28 and '30 1sts to become trade pieces (the only contingency likely preventing the Hawks from getting Siakam).

The Nets, meanwhile, get an improved 1st round draft choice for that year, as well as a solid starter in Robinson and good depth with Bey. Though Bey's unlikely to re-sign, Robinson is a more reliable 3pt specialist that can play either the 2 or the 3. This also allows more playing time for Clowney, a widely undervalued prospect that fits well alongside Claxton in the frontcourt.

The Heat become more well-rounded on both ends of the court, can more consistently rely on Butler as a 3 rather than a 4 (contributing to his wear-and-tear/injury concerns of late), and can better compete with the current favorites of the Eastern conference. The only uncertainty is where the team's focus should be for their 2024 first round pick, positionally or talent-wise.

Does each team benefit from this trade, or what should be changed?
