76ers trade a couple of second round picks and their prior g-league player that they gave a full deal to, for Bronny James. They not only reunite the Father and Son duo, but significantly increase their revenue with the jersey sales Bronny will bring in alongside LeBron.

The Clippers, devastated by the NBA’s ruling, trade an expiring contract to receive two younger players who need a fresh team to continue developing, along with 3 draft picks to begin replenishing their depleted stock. With their next move likely being flipping Garland in addition to this trade, they could potentially recover all of the same assets that the league took away from them within the same offseason. The longer the Clippers wait to trade, the worse the offers they receive will become as teams are entirely aware of their need to replenish their draft assets and will only lowball from here onward.

The Lakers receive a forward with prior experience playing with Luka Doncic, alongside a still-developing young forward.
