Why the Warriors do this - This could be an overpay with Wiggins a natural scorer anywhere and Wiseman, a 2nd overall pick last year. However, Dub Nation only has 3-4 year left with Steph if we’re being honest. However long Steph is there, that’s there window to win and Kristaps contract makes sense along with his style of play.

Why the Mavs do this - Look if Kristaps dosent get traded this offseason, This summer would be a fail for the Mavs. Him and Luka really is the basketball Vinegar and water. They get back a young center who can rim protect like a vet, James Wiseman. They also receive a player that used to be overrated, to now underrated Andrew Wiggins. He is one of the most efficient scorers with a 49% FG percentage. They also get a pick to sweeten the pot

Why the Thunder do this trade - I think the Thunder brought in Kemba to trade him. If you get back KCP, and Kuzma and only have to throw in a 2rp, ur lucky. You also get a young Tyrell Terry.

Why the Lakers do this - Basically what I said for the Warriors, years are flying by for another chance for the Lakers to win one more with LeBron. If that means trading for a guy that will get you like 20 points or 10 assists if you need him too, a clutch Kemba Walker, I would be down. Plus Kuzma you should trade until he has no trade value and KCP is pretty good but not like Kemba I would do this if I were LA
