Why for Utah and Brooklyn:
Get ready for the Cooper Flagg draft. Get some picks (especially for Jazz) and young assets.
Why for Grizz:
Get a secondary young center to go along with Edey. Give up interchangeable wings. Would be fine with trading away plenty more second rounders. Get a starting small forward which we desperately need. Marcus needs to be super sixth man/backup PG
Why for Rockets:
Get the star player they want. I know they can sign George outright, but it doesn’t look like that will happen. Butler is also from Texas (I think near Houston) so that is something.
Jalen Green is a lot to give up, but I just feel like Thompson and Smith are better wing fits long term.
Why for Heat:
Lauri is a good space fit next to Bam. Two big strategy. And if they move off Butler (which I have every confidence that they will-which is crazy compared to where we were a year ago) they won’t want picks. They want win now players/ stars.
Rozier/Herro/Jaquez/Lauri/Bam is a great multidimensional lineup.
Sexton as super 6th man off the bench. Martin also off the bench.
Ridiculous & complicated trade I know, but somewhat realistic.
