To me, this is a "in the moment" trade...

Denver: the way Payton Watson is playing in Denver and if this keep up and Braun is not hitting his threes efficiently, Watson is going to get paid and the Braun might be the odd man out, but I might be wrong. As well as Zeke Nnaji playing well, therefore increases his trade value by just a little. You will have a young player like Knecht under a great contract for a couple of years as well as an expiring Maxi Kelber who you can let go this offseason to create some space to get some more guys.

Lakers: You will be giving up your first round pick but at least it is top 10 protected. At the moment, you will have young guys like Braun, White and Nnaji for some athleticism and more scoring prowess as well as having Vucevic as your center with Luka orchestrating the offense, can make some noise in the West even though you have a decision to make in the case of extending Austin Reaves while Coby White will be a free agent this offseason I believe.

Bulls: Do I need to say more. Expiring contracts, tanking to increase you odds at a high pick, flexibilty, plus you get another first round pick in 2030s.

Let me know about this trade. All good to go or GTFO. Thank you.
