Houston does a S&T for DFS giving him more than the mid level (with the last season being partially guaranteed) while moving Whitmore (who they don’t seem to value and who wants to be traded), Landale, and more salary to make the trade work).

Lakers help DFS to get more than the mid level and get Ellis as a 3&D SG/SF, taking back Landale and more salary but still less than they send out.

Kings move Ellis (who they don’t seem to value) for Whitmore who has one extra year of rookie deal and then RFA status.
