DISCLAIMER THE BLAZERS OWN THE BULLS PICK, IT*S JUST REGISTERED THERE BECAUSE OF THE PROTECTION

Blazers trade Anfernee Simons, Robert Williams III, Blazers and Warriors 2024 Picks and 2 2029 picks (one protected top 10) for Keldon Johnson, Grizzlies Pick and Spurs Pick this year (Only if Spurs pick is top 2 and Grizzlies is #6-#8.

With this trade Blazers acquire two of the better picks in this draft. They might be giving away a big amount of assets but I do believe it's worth it. Especially when they still have Grant, Brogdon and Thybulle available for trade which probably equates to about 3 future first round picks. In this scenario these picks are #1-#2 and #6 which allows the blazers to choose between players like Sarr, Risacher, Williams, Holland and Buzelis. In my opinion they would select Sarr and Holland if the were able to of course, these two are both top prospects with Sarr being a 7'1 player being able to run the 4 for this blazers team whilst Holland can be their SF. Both these two players are seen as two of those with most potential in this draft and most importantly for the Blazers are both very good at the defensive side of the ball. A lineup of Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe, Ron Holland, Alexandre Sarr and Deandre Ayton is an insanely potential star studded lineup with AYton being the oldest at 25 then Sharpe being the second oldest at 21!.... Then of the bench they would have Keldon Johnson, Toumani Camara, Brandon Clarke and Jabari Walker with the oldest there being 27 (Brandon Clarke). They also still have Grant, Brogdon and Thybulle to trade for young players and picks... That starting lineup is easily one of the most entertaining in the league and may even allow them to reach the play in depending on how Sarr and Holland perform in their first season. The defense might have another rise for the blazers with Holland, Sarr and Ayton being a nightmare to go against for smaller teams due to them all being quick on their feet.

I believe the Grizzlies do this trade because they get an amazing defensive center in Robert Williams who is proven in the playoffs and would make the Grizzlies into one of the most elite defensive frontcourt teams in the league with him being paired with Jaren Jackson Jr. They also acquire Kyle Kuzma who is on one of the best deals in the league IMO with him making less money for every year that goes on (25-23-21-19). This allows the Grizzlies to keep him alongside the 3 main guys Ja, Bane, and JJJ for those 4 years while not destroying the team's financial balance by making too much. He also brings another scoring option into the team with him being a lot better than the rest of the team in fadeaways whilst being an excellent 3-point shooter at the same time. They also get a late lottery first-round pick which they funnily gave away in the Marcus smart trade last offseason. This pick allows them to draft probably a big man with them being set in wings with GG Jackson, Aldama and Vince Williams shining this year. With this they also remain thó be one of the best young teams in the league. A starting lineup of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Kyle Kuzma, Jaren Jackson Jr and Robert Williams III is easily one of the best in the league and a contender if healthy.

The Spurs in my opinion do this due to the weak draft class and them being set at SF, PF and C currently due to Vassell, Sochan and Wemby. This means they are more likely to draft a Point Guard or shooting guard in this draft. If the Blazers pick is #5 as it looks to be currently then there is a big chance that either Cody Williams or Nikola Topic is available at this pick which would fit Spurs perfectly. They also got Simons in the deal and gave away Johnson who hasn't been performing at his best this season from what I have seen, even leading to him recently being on the bench. A Simons and Topic or Williams backcourt would be really good and they still have the Raptors pick if the Raptors don't get higher than the 7th pick this draft which allows them to draft another top prospect like Holland or Buzelis depending on who the Blazers select at #1/#2 and #6. This means they have Branham, Collins, Tre Jones and the 7-8th pick off the bench. A really exciting team in other words. Topic running the point would be ideal in my opinion as his selfishness might allow him to average 7+ assists whilst giving a lot of shots to Simons, Vassel and most importantly Wemby who will have it a lot easier with two new ball handlers much better than they currently have in their team.

Wizards get Kennard and two future first round picks for Kyle Kuzma which Is close to the asking price. Kennard probably would gather a lot of interest on the trade market as well with him being a perfect bench piece. That's easily another first round pick for him in my opinion.

This might of course not happen but I think it makes sense for every team here.
