Lakers need big man support and a spark plug off the bench at the guard spot. Rockets go all in on Giannis. Magic make the most of their more expensive contracts who aren’t playing that much and turn it in to Dame. Pistons capitalize on having cap space and turn THJ, Reed, and Sasser into a high performing defender in Isaac, a backup PG in Gabe Vincent, and a promising young wing in Whitmore.

Bucks create a youth movement and add a ton of picks. 2026 depth chart without any draft picks. They would surely take these young guys and flip for expiring vets or take on some expensive contracts to create roster space.
