76ers trade Maxey, Harden, and Harris for Dame, CJ and Herb Jones. This is probably moving sideways from a talent standpoint, but Dame and CJ are under contract for longer. Dame and CJ were the best players on a team that went to the Western finals. How far can they go with Embiid?

Blazers trade Dame for Zion and Jaxson Hayes -- two young, talented players. Zion is a gamble, but that's what Portland needs to do.

Pelicans trade Zion, CJ, Hayes, and Jones for Maxey, Harden, and Harris -- basically an all-in move for 2024, which their city and fans need. Harden, Maxey, Ingram, Harris, and Valunciunas might be the most talented starting five in the NBA, at least from an offensive standpoint.
