Detroit needs a #2 option and they get it with Tyler Herro as Cade’s counter part. All it cost them was a late 20s 1st in next year’s poor draft class. Moody slides into the $15M TPE they created from moving LeVert. He is injured this year but will be a solid Duncan Robinson and Holland replacement in 2027 when he’s healthy. A backup rotation of Ebuka, Joe, and Moody is a great start!
76ers get off of Joel Embiid’s contract and bring in a stretch big to replace him. Kyle Kuzma will come off the bench behind Dean Wade as a solid backup PF. 76ers create future flexibility and added depth with more reliability/availability.
Warriors make their all in push with the old heads. They add Joel Embiid who (should) play more than Jimmy Butler this season and swap the injured Moses Moody with sharpshooter AJ Green. Warriors use this move to convince LeBron that they are a title contender with a BIG lineup to matchup with SAS and OKC.
Steph, Podziemski, LeBron, Draymond, Embiid, Porzingis, Yaxel, Santos, AJ Green, Richard
Bucks add three future 1sts, guarantee a tank this year, and clear their books for a MASSIVE spending offseason next year. They also get a look at Ron Holland compared to Jaime Jaquez as their long term SF. Moving off Herro & Green gives Rollins, Burries, and Jakucionis more playing time to develop. With Myles Turner gone, they can also let Kel’el Ware get 30+ minutes a night. This move is all about development and a big 2027+ push for Milwaukee.
