This is what I like to call the, "these players are being shopped around the league" Trade.

• Note - Pistons #5 pick goes to the Pelicans in this Trade

* The Pelicans - Pelicans get the center and point guard they have been searching for while getting enough cap space to pay Trey Murphy. Trading away CJ will be hard because of the culture and game he brings, but it will be needed if Trae Young comes to New Orleans. Getting #5 will also be important because the Pelicans like the top of this draft. The worth of #5 this year will be less then normal because of this weaker draft class.

Starting Lineup
1. Trae Young
2. Herb Jones
3. Trey Murphy
4. Zion Williamson
5. Jarrett Allen

• The Cavs - This trade is to get a better fit next to Donovan Mitchell and Mobley. Dejounte will be the perfect PG to fit with Donovan, and Onyeka will be a great PF next to Mobley. They are also getting a great defender in Dyson and a pick.

  Starting Lineup

  1. Dejounte Murray

  2. Donovan Mitchell

  3. Max Strus

  4. Onyeka Okongwu

  5. Evan Mobley

* The Hawks - Getting rid of Dejounte and Trae is hard, but now the Hawks become even more dangerous. Having Garland at PG and a bunch of height around him will do wonders. Brandon Ingram will be a great partner to Garland.

Starting Lineup
1. Darius Garland
2. Bogdan Bogdanović
3. Brandon Ingram
4. Jalen Johnson
5. Alex Sarr

• The Pistons - The Pistons do not need more young talent on this team and are rumored to be selling #5. They want a veteran to change the culture of this team around and CJ is perfect for that. He did it with the Pelicans, so expectations are so high in New Orleans. The Pistons also get more draft capital for the future. CJ will fit perfectly with Cade and this team can take the next step.

Starting Lineup

1. Cade Cunningham

2. CJ McCollum

3. Ausar Thompson

4. Simone Fontecchio

5. Jalen Duren
