Portland clears up minutes for their young guards, saves money in the long term as they will not need to extend Simons, and pick up Knect as a young asset who can help their poor 3pt shooting, a future first and a pick swap.

Orlando gets a young guard who will bring scoring and shooting punch, two things they desperately need.

Dallas gets a younger guard who can start until Kyrie gets back before moving to a 6th man type of role plus a late first, while clearing some of their frontcourt logjam.

The Lakers get a mobile 5 who has built in chemistry with Luka.

The Nets help facilitae and add a future asset for a very managable expiring contract.
