This is an outlandish trade, so please don't be super critical. I would still love feedback though.


The Bulls are in an odd phase of having to decide between a rebuild and contention. Ideally, they can sign one of the main FAs if they do decide to contend. It would be tricky to convince PG13 to come play for them, but this roster would be loaded for a playoff run with him, especially with a healthy Lonzo.

Bulls Rotation:

PG: White - Lonzo

SG: Monk - Ellis

SF: PG13 - Caruso

PF: Harris - PWill

C: Gobert - Bitadze


The Grizzlies are already a really solid team when they're healthy, but getting a better backup PG and a floor-spacing center would be huge for them, especially while keeping all of their core pieces and not losing GG or Vince. I think they could get a better backup C in FA, but just went with a realistic, cheap option.

Grizzlies Rotation:

PG: Ja - Jevon

SG: Smart - Vince

SF: Bane - GG

PF: JJJ - Aldama

C: Vucevic - Zeller


The 76ers need a third star next to Maxey and Embiid. In this case, they miss out on their main FA targets, and opt for a pure offensive choice in Lavine. They then fill out the rest of their roster with hustling, defensive-minded players to compliment the Big 3.

76ers Rotation:

PG: Maxey - Lowry

SG: Lavine - Melton

SF: Batum - Marshall

PF: Reed - Stevens

C: Embiid - DJ


The TWolves decide to get rid of Gobert's large contract and even out the use of their money. This provides them with better depth, and opens up more time for the ever-improving Reid.

TWolves Rotation:

PG: Conley - NAW

SG: Edwards - Oubre

SF: McDaniels - Anderson

PF: Reid - Clarke/#9

C: KAT - Drummond


The Kings fell off quite a bit this year, but getting a third star would help a lot. The Bulls offering Monk a starting role allows the Kings to complete a sign and trade for Derozan. Derozan fits nicely in the Kings rotation, especially with the spacing of Huerter and Murray.

Kings Rotation:

PG: Fox - Mitchell

SG: Huerter - #13

SF: Derozan - Barnes

PF: Murray - Lyles

C: Sabonis - Vezenkov
