Why Chicago Does This:
The Bulls are in a rebuild, and they would want to move Vuc who's been playing really well for a solid package. That they get. They get 2 future seconds, Rui Hachimura whos still young, and they free a guy in Duop Reath who could play good minutes for them.
Overall a package bulls fans would be really happy with
Why Memphis Does This:
Vuc has been hooping. Edey has been solid, but he doesn't need to be the bonified starter straight away. Plus I like the fact Vuc can stretch the floor, and Jaren would be able to hide him defensively
They get Gabe Vincent for some depth as well
Why Los Angeles Does This:
The Lakers genunley walk out of this trade so happy its insane. Yes they give up a protected pick, but omg the fit of all these players. This trade genuinley fixes all their problems, they might win the chip
I just like this for LA so much
Why Portland Does This:
Portland have so many young forwards, too many honestly. Plus with Grant still on the roster they got an absolute logjam. They still need to make trades after this, but getting a frp and a guy in LaRavia who's looked nice this season
This trade is mainly for the future pick tho, but hey for Camara and Reath, you dont mind it
Why Toronto Does This:
Toronto are rebuilding, this is evident, and they walk out of this extremley happy. Selling off their talented big man vet, for a 2 younger guys and 2 seconds. A classic Masai fleece
Additionally they get a guy in Hood-Schifino who, with a coach that really believes in him, and is one of the best developmental coaches in the league, could emerge under Darko. Something we're seeing with Ochai, Gradey, and RJ
