Knicks get more depth of course. Add their dream center in Kessler. Sexton is a natural fit at SG and provides more creation than bridges. Cap space saved is used for Al Horford and Chris Paul who both see an opportunity to steal a championship in a weak eastern conference. This is a risk for the Knicks, who are getting back less value than they are sending out. But from a long term salary perspective, as well as short term depth/viability, this feels like a win.

Lakers know they have to pay Reeves and need a center bad. By moving Reeves at peak value, as well as Knecht, they are able to land a player like Bridges, who is a more natural fit next to Lebron/Luka than Reeves, and a far superior defender as well. Mitch is almost a perfect center for Luka: good defensive player and lob threat. No picks need to go out and Lakers sign both long term.

Jazz get a legit #2 scorer to put next to Lauri and Ace Bailey. Knecht provides shooting on a cheap deal. Jazz cash in by trading away two expiring contracts. From a pure value perspective, they clean up.

Please give me your thoughts. I spent a lot of time workshopping this one.
