Salary dump Conley
MIN: get closer to 1st Apron
DET: Acquire veteran PG to teach and temporarily replace ivey + SRP
Trade Randle for Collins
MIN: Similar production on better efficiency and enormously improved fit, at least more committed defender likely a lot better, get younger, even closer to 1st apron JAZZ: sell-high & Buy-Low + SRP's, Collins is currently performing (over performing??, help him find competitive team), buying low on Randle who is going to enter a contract year
-- Jazz do this if they believe Collins is over performing and Randle could increase his trade value tremendously this and next season. Afterwards they could either extend him or help in a sign-trade or even trade him outright if interest is high enough.
Trade DiVincenzo for Reaves
MIN: great playmaking, improved scoring, versatile offensive fit, amazing contract, get younger, still more upside
LAL: buying-low, improved shooting, improved defense + FRP swaps for more future trade flexibility
-- DiVincenzo opportunities have always been lower than they should've been dating back to his days on the bucks and warriors. Last season with the Knicks he showed some of his potential next to brunson. Luka & LeBron are superior playmaker and open look generator, thus slotting DiVincenzo in for big-time starter minutes could improve his stats tremendously and also provide a perfect supplementary player.
Lakers do this if they think shorting the Timberwolves due to: Gobert aging, awkward roster construction/fit and ownership problems could leave them with some valuable picks. Picks could get even more valuable if Mavs are worse than Wolves due to spurs-mavs-timberwolves swap.
