Four teamer that fills holes in each teams roster!
Grizzlies:
Recieve: Mattisse Thybulle
Lose: Brandon Clarke, 2032 Second Round Pick
The plan is to acquire a strong defensive backup wing after trading Bane. The starting lineup will include Ja, Wells, Vince, JJJ, and either small ball options like Vince Williams and JJJ or a center like Santi Aldama or Edey after injury. To strengthen the bench, adding a solid defensive player like Thybulle alongside KCP and Scotty Pippen Jr. is ideal, especially since KCP's role may vary. This bench—Coward, KCP, GG and Mattisse—will provide excellent defense.
Warriors
Recieve: Duop Reath, Robert Williams III, Dean Wade, 2027 ATL SRP, 2032 POR SRP
Lose: Moses Moody, Trayce Jackson-Davis, 2027 ATL SRP, 2030 GSW SRP
The focus is on improving the power forward and center positions through a few moves. Acquiring Wade for a few second-round picks can add a scoring bench player. Robert Williams, if healthy, would be a strong lob threat and defender, offering more versatility than Kevon Looney. Losing Moody isn't a major issue since shooting guard isn't a priority, and Moses hasn't panned out but still has potential. Replacing TJD with Duop provides Golden State with a better-fitting center and backup.
Cavaliers
Recieve: Brandon Clarke, 2027 ATL SRP, 2030 GSW SRP, 2032 MEM SRP
Lose: Max Strus, Dean Wade
The team sacrifices two offensive players to focus on defense by acquiring Clarke, a proven small-ball center who can serve as a backup center. This move frees up significant cap space—about $10 million—bringing them closer to the first apron. While additional moves are needed, this trade is valuable, providing a needed player and three second-round picks.
Blazers
Recieve: Moses Moody, Max Strus, TJD
Lose: Rob Williams III, Duop Reath, Mattisse Thybulle, 2027 ATL SRP, 2032 POR SRP
Here's a summary:
The Portland Trail Blazers aim to address two key needs: acquiring two scoring shooting guards and a power forward who can score in the paint. Trading two centers for a versatile big who can sometimes stretch the floor but mainly play PF isn't ideal, but with a promising 16th pick and a franchise that values more playing time, it’s acceptable. Strus, like Thybulle, is highly efficient from three, with Strus taking more threes per game, though Thybulle is much more efficient. Moody offers offensive potential and three-point shooting, while his defense is his standout attribute. Overall, these moves maintain the team’s defensive identity while adding offensive firepower.
Let me know y'alls thoughts. I finally did some research for a trade btw.
