Trade goes through because Philly signs and Trades Grimes

LAKERS - Grimes is a perfect long-term backcourt partner for LUKA and fits this team better than Rui since LeBron is more of a 4

Philly - Clear up play time in the backcourt for VJ and get a good backup for PG and fit Maxey's timeline. Plus, get a pick for the future

Pelicans - Rui is a good backup for when Zion misses a game and is a potential small-ball 5 for a certain lineup to maximise spacing for Zion.

Kings - Herb Jones is a better fit for this team as his defense is more of a need because they have multiple scoring options.
