Mavericks would get the best defensive big man in the nba, an enforcer down low who checks the boxes that dallas needs which is interior defense, rebounding, and physicality. Running two bigs in the NBA might be long gone but KP wont clog the paint since he's mostly played as a stretch 4 in Dallas, not even a stretch 5. Gobert also gives you insurance if KP gets injured you'd at least have a pick n roll partner for Luka. Dallas doesnt have a lot of young assets or good players on okay contracts, draft picks and a lot of their current depth are gonna be the asking price for most teams

OKC gets 2 first round picks for players who might look for greener pastures considering OKC is gonna go rebuild mode. The contracts they'll take in will just be for the salary cap minimum

Bridges impressed in the bubble with oubre out, I think he's become expendable in phoenix' eyes. They move Bridges to the starting lineup, a plus defender over Oubre, THJ becomes their sixth man taking the scoring load lost from Oubre's production, and Brunson as a solid defensive backup for a somewhat often times injured Rubio and a good running mate with Booker. They receive a 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick. This move is more of a "get in the playoffs now move" for phoenix, they can still potentially draft an impact player with those picks unlike another project

Jazz basically calls it quits on Gobert, their playoff run was disappointing. With all the rumors about their relationship I think it could very well be Gobert leaving the Jazz next season. They'd at least get Adams as a lesser impact replacement and a lottery pick to kickoff a somewhat soft rebuild to surround the right talent alongside Mitchell. The trade is a bit better than Celtics trade ideas such as Hayward, Theis, the 14th pick
