Why Pistons do this?

With Pistons being intrested in Kyle Kuzma they could possibly get him rn due to his trade value which has considerably decreased and Pistons could trade up from #52 to #22 in the draft aswell.So pistons would be loving to see cade grant and kuzma at work together plus they could draft a great player from #22 with the deep draft this year.

Why Dallas do this?

Dallas Mavericks are mainly addressing their issues in the wing as they already have big men like powell,boban,willie cauley stein and Maxi Kleber. The Mavericks are frustrated with KP and he is frustrated with dallas aswell and we could see him on the move to hollywood with this trade scenario.KCP and THT are invaluable additions to Dallas and can have great impact on improving the wing and geting a sixth man like Montrezl Harrell can be solid addition to Dallas.They could further add Kelly Oubre Jr in FA to further bolster their squad and luka will have an arsenal of weapons by his side.

Why Lakers do this?

When I’m at the (power forward position) I only have the option to pop, and when I’m at the (center position) I can pick-and-pop and roll,” the fourth-year veteran said. “So I can mix it up and just be more involved. This what KP said in a interview which means he has no objection at playing C so lakers could play AD at 4 and KP at 5 and form a solid frontcourt.WIth Dinwiddie expressing his intrest to come to LA lakers could use the MLE on dinwiddie. Saddiq Bey is a terrific catch and shoot outside shooter over screens and that is what lakers need
