Lakers get their versatile wings, & a hustling rebounding big. Trade may be posted failed but it's because of THT not being able to be traded just yet. Salaries work with incoming 27 mil, and outgoing 22 mil.

Pelicans get 2nd round picks, Hernangomez isnt that important to them. Valanciunas is gonna be there starting big, eventually they'll have to decide on Jaxon Hayes' future, & Herbert Jones is playing well. Hernangomez doesnt have much value to them making him the odd man out, adding draft capital wouldnt hurt in any possible deal to get Zion some help,

Pacers turns the switches for their eventual rebuild. Lamb has been struggling to get good minutes, his trade value is down, & Craig has been a journeyman. Holiday is the most valuable player they're letting go. Nunn isnt bad, still young at 26, the lakers 2026 1st round pick may be top 10 protected, but from that time period moving forward, the lakers are probably gonna be a bad team again. Also a second round pick for good measure.

Mavericks love Finney-Smith, but if they want to get better players to surround Luka, then they need better assets. THT has a tradable contract along with untapped potential. Listen, just because he's from the Lakers doesnt mean he's trash, the kid's 21 averaging 11/4/3/1. He has potential to be a part of the mavs' rotation or an eventual trade piece. DFS may have more value than THT right now in terms of winning, but the Mavs are there yet, they still need to get things straight with what to do with Porzingis before they can even think that they're legit contenders.
