(The 2028 pick swap going to Sacramento is a Thunder first that Fanspo didn't have) 5 Reasons for each team to do it:
For Dallas:
Solves their logjam in the frontcourt
Adds a first in 2027 from a mid team in a year Dallas doesn't have a pick
Adds an All-Star caliber big to raise the team's floor and improve the team
Increases the level of playmaking on the floor, giving Flagg more set up looks
Gives more opportunities to younger forwards, like Risacher and Morez Johnson
For Portland:
Declutters the backcourt a bit, creates a Ja/Scoot - Dame/Sharpe Backcourt
Adds a forward, which is a position of need
Improves the defense, and adds a floor spacer
Gets off a bad contract in Holiday
No drop off after trade, Portland has the veteran leadership, defense and scoring to replace Jrue
For Sacramento:
Sells on Sabonis, extracts possibly 2 firsts
Gives Acuff the ball more
Adds a lob target for Acuff
Gets picks from a team that could underperform in the future
Adds veteran leadership, defense and mentor for Acuff in Holiday
