scoring J Dub and keeping the rest of the core intact, Thompson, Duren, Ron, Ivy, Stew... their lineup would look like Ja Morant, J Dub, Ausar Thompson... then they trade Levert, Patrick Williams, Paul Reed, and a pick for a reallyy good PF. Consolidate talent, because they'd have a ton of it, just not in the right places. Maybe they get AG + Duop Reath. Or Tari Eason + RW III.

Bulls... somehow go from Lonzo to Cade. It's like Detroit did their job right for them and actually drafted properly, saw the aftermath, and decided to gift them the clear best PG prospect we've seen in a while not named Jalen Rose Brunson, just because OKC was moving on from J Dub and Ja would do a better job replacing Cade than almost anyone else on the planet, but the simple fact that he's NOT Cade, and the city has grown attached [for good reason] means it wouldn't work. But it's a fun hypothetical to play with.

Hawks... end up stacked. Trae, Ayo, Jalen Johnson, Porzingis, Okongwu. If KP is healthy, it's actually scary. Everyone's real high on Caruso right now. Overall, I'd keep Dyson. But imagine they really value that 1st round pick in 2032.

Thunder... Think they're swindeling everybody on Buzelis and Dyson. And they kinda are. But they're giving up J Dub. They're giving up some of their depth in Wiggins. But they're getting a solid 2nd line 1-5. They still have SGA, Isaiah Joe/Cason Wallace, Dort, Chet, Hartenstein, now they have Dyson Daniels instead of Caruso, plus Huerter, Matas Buzelis who is looking spectacular, Brandon Clarke, Jalen Smith. They maybe got deeper because of Matas, which is crazy. And that Milwaukee pick could be another hidden gem like Noa, who's gunna be fucking goOOOd.
