How close to the real trade is this?


FAILED

I want to address the biggest obstacle here and it Cam Thomas. He has the No Trade Clause, which makes any trade involving him have to go through him. He also has essentially no trade value at all, which is why I included 2 2nd round picks for 2 of the years the Kings don't have 2nd round pick to pay them to take him. For him I think the Kings is a fresh start for him where he can sign a prove it deal, since I dont think any team in the league is gonna offer him 20 million a year. The Kings don't really have a young core and Cam is 24, that is still young enough where something can happen. So the Nets are get Moody 26 pick unprotected and 29 pick swap. The nets are currently pushing the warriors for a 2nd 1st. I think this is a negotiable outcome where the Nets get a pick they perceive high value as it would most likely be post Curry and Draymond era as a swap and a 1st this year they can use to try as leverage in a trade for a top 3 pick if they dont get 1 through the lottery themselves. They also add a still young Moody who will be a better Terrance Man. They also get to add 2 vets Buddy, and the real valuable one in DeRozan as he was an all-star playoff leader who can really mentor the young players. They also get to remove Cam.

The Warriors get MPJ who they want, but they also get to add a Moody replacement in Keon who should alleviate the "lose" of the 29 pick swap. This trade removes the "problematic" players and loses no player value.

The Kings are in the selling position and getting any value for their aged stars will be tricky. For DeRozan and Keon who they have not played much of they get 2 young players who still have a lot tot give on the court and two 2nd round picks. I dont think they give up much here and they get to add 2 young players to start forming a core in theory. Obvious the kings have other moves they need to make like Zach and Sabonis, but I do think this puts them in a better position for a team that is functionally tanking.
