Why would Celtics do this?

The Celtics are playing really good this Season and adding Giannis could be a instant finals ticket in this weak east. Going for Giannis is a thing you just do if possible.

New Starting 5 (with Tatutm) : Pritchard | Brown | Tatum | Giannis | Queta

New Bench Lineup: Melton | Hield | Gonzalez | Walsh | Garza

Why would Bucks do this?

The Bucks need to trade Giannis at some point of 2026. This is giving them 2 young players to buil with (Kuminga and Simons). Some extra expiring Money (22.5 mil Vincent + Kleber) and good assets like Hauser next to the Picks they get.

New Starting 5: Porter Jr. / Rollins | Simons | Hauser | Kuminga | Portis

New Bench Lineup: Porter Jr. / Rollins | Trent Jr. | Green | DFS | Adams

Why would Rockets do this?

Huston needs a PG, because of the FVV Injury and getting White in this deal would be by far the best option for the Rockets.

New Starting 5: White | Thomson | Durant | Smith Jr. | Sengun

New Bench Lineup: Sheppard | Anthony | Okogie | Prince | Capela

Why would Lakers do this?

The Lakers really need a good defensive Player, a problem which is easy fixed by the addition of Eason. They dont give up anything really valuable next to their 2031 Pick and it makes them a lot better instantly.

New Starting 5: Doncic | Reaves | LeBron | Eason | Ayton

New Bench Lineup: Smart | Knecht | Hachimura | Kuzma | Hayes

Why would Warriors do this?

The GSW need a good Center and with Butler out a long time, it should be a really good one. Myles Turner is a really good Center, that would be cheap, if he goes in a Giannis trade and taking him for Kuminga and 1 Pick is a easy, good move for the Warriors.

New Starting 5: Curry | Trent Jr. | Moody | Green | Turner

New Bench Lineup: Pod | Payton | Minott | Horford | Post / Jackson-Davis
