Washington's incentive in swapping Smart for Rozier is a 2nd round swap-right(slightly a loss). Middleton for Rui to get younger(slightly a win).
Lakers get Wiggins while using their most misfit(Rui) and useless(Kleber) expiring players. 2031 protected 1st becomes unprotected in 2032 if not conveyed.
Hornets see Miami is punting on season and jumps at the opportunity to get 2026 1st instead of 2027, the draft following Miami's possibly splash free agency in 2026.
Miami walks into Summer of 2026 with $38M in cap space, $50M if Jovic is renounced, BTW, 7-9 vet max starts at $51M. No state income tax takes care of that. Also 5 tradable 1st round picks.
