Why it works for the Bucks:

• They get two recent top 5 picks in Holland and Ivey to begin their rebuild.

• They get 3 future unprotected 1sts, a pick swap In 2031 (when Giannis will be well on the downside of his career) and control of their own 2027 2nd.

• They get rid of Kuzma's contract in the deal.

• They would go into the off-season with $90m+ in cap space to build back up the roster.

Why it works for the Pistons

• They are the top team in the East, so it's time to go for it.

• Their starting lineup of Cade/White/Ausar/Giannis/Duren with Robinson/Trent/Green/Portis/Stewart coming off the bench would be scary good.

Why it works for the Bulls.

• They get another FRP in what looks like a loaded 2026 draft

• Bulls are rebuilding and can afford to take on some bad contracts for draft capital.
