Georges Niang cannot be traded to a team aggregated with other players from his team because 2 months have not passed since he was traded for. His outgoing salary cannot be combined with another one of his teammates to bring in a higher salaried player. This restriction expires after Apr 06, 2025.

Pistons build around the right core players: Cade, Ausar, Holland, Stewart and add the right pieces around them. If they can resign Beasley, this team gets really dangerous and a top 3 spot in the East.

Cade, Melton, Ausar, OG, Porzingis // Vit, Beasley Holland, Stewart

Celtics add depth pieces and get something in return for an expiring Porzingis. They land two depth/rotation guys, a future first, and three 2nds.

Knicks add more shooting in Cam Johnson and a much needed depth piece by moving off OG.

Nets don’t land a future 1st but get what they can from Cam Johnson and take a chance on Ivey becoming a star in Brooklyn, an expiring Tobias who they could flip for 2nds, and a future 2nd for the sign and trade of Melton.

Hawks add their needed lob threat in Duren and land their Center of the future, a double double machine that’s only 21.
