This might be the best return that the Bucks can get for Giannis and it gives their picks back to them. Portland could try to make a splash with a couple years of Zion before Avdija gets his extention, not to mention Jaylen Brown. If the Celtics see this as good value, the upside of Giannis is clear. The Suns can get a true point guard and a high value Power Forard, which meets their offseason Goals.

This is probably the hardest decision for the Pelicans but this probably sets up well for the Queen/Fears. Queen will be able to become a starter with Zion out of the way and Holiday will be able to hand off the Fears as age affects both their games. If they don't feel like they are able to become competitors with this roster, the front office can try to get extentions for good value before trading off the roster heading into the 2029-2030 season to try to get a handful of firsts in the following two drafts in order to build a young team around continuity and long term success.
