RAPTORS
Out : Siakam and GTJ
In : Ayton, Cam Johnson, Bev, and 2 FRPs.
The idea is to get Ayton, an elite big that the Raptors is lacking.
They lose Siakam but they get a younger Cam Johnson and a FRP back.
The other idea is to send GTJ that might decline his PO for Bev and a FRP. This move save some luxury tax too for the Raptors
Lineup
FVV - OG - Scottie - Cam - Ayton
And they still have Bev, Boucher, Birch etc
I dont think GTJ will exercise his PO just to play from the bench again.
==============================================================================
SUNS
Out : CP3 (old), Ayton (unwanted, unhappy), Cam and a FRP (Siakam), Crowder and a FRP (Poeltl)
In : DLo (Booker mate), Siakam (better PF than Cam), Poeltl (less ego than Ayton).
The idea is to get younger by sending CP3 away and better by getting Siakam for unhappy Ayton and getting Poeltl for unhappy Crowder.
Lineup
DLo - Booker - Bridges - Siakam - Poeltl
They only lose Cam for their depths but i believe they still need to make this move. Having an old injury prone leader like CP and 2 unhappy teammates wont bring u far.
==============================================================================
LAKERS
Out : Russ and 2 SRPs (depths in Richardson and McD), Bev and a FRP (future star GTJ), Jones (to make a free spot)
In : GTJ, Richardson, McD
The idea is to send some picks away to get depths for the following seasons. 3 guys that can shoot well will help the Lakers to compete
Lineup
Schroder - GTJ - Rui - Bron - AD
Reaves - Richardson - Troy - McD - TB
Lonnie - Christie - JTA - Gabriel
==============================================================================
WOLVES
Get CP3 a better PG than the expiring DLo that might not sign an extension while not givig up any pick is worth the risk imo.
==============================================================================
SPURS
Get 3 picks for 3 expiring players seems like a fair trade imo.
