Why Hawks do this? Its easy to get frustrated for Atlanta's struggles. In recent reports, Atlanta is considering tanking this year. Tanking might be the last resort if the season doesn't go better before the deadline. Even if it happens, it paves the way for young stars Okongwu and Johnson to develop more and carry Atlanta the next season. So in this deal, we'll see the Hawks deal Capela, Murray, Bufkin, Griffin, and Fernando, plus a second rounder while acquiring Fournier, Robinson, Toppin, Smith, and Grimes, and two first rounders. Grimes has the potential to be a good knock down shooter, while Toppin, and Smith can be the key of bolstering Atlanta's frontcourt. Fournier and Robinson are salary fillers, but its interesting how Robinson will play. It tough to lose Capela and Murray, but future is bright for the Hawks.

Why Pacers do this? If the Pacers wants to go for a run this year, they need to find a way of taking off pressure is Hali's shoulders in carrying the offense, while they keep the normal offense go. So in this deal, they will give up Buddy Hield, Walker, Nwora, Toppin, Smith, and a first rounder for Siakam, McDaniels, Fernando, and Bufkin plus SRP. This will be good because Siakam can create his own shot, and Haliburton can set them up, plus Turner can stretch big. So those trio can carry the Pacers offense, and go for a run. A lineup of Hali, Nesmith, Mathurin, Siakam, and Turner is sure to watch out. In case they Siakam leaves, they get Bufkin, who is a young star that has potential.

Why Knicks do this? Knicks will come out as big winners of this deal. They acquire Capela, in lieu of Robinson who is injured. But the real prize is Dejounte Murray, who will play a significant role in Knicks offense. Its tough to lose Robinson, Grimes, and the two first rounders. But the roles Capela and Murray gives are just way good. The lineup of Brunson, Murray, Anunoby, Randle, and Capela is a team that can compete teams against Boston, Bucks and more who are potential NBA champs. If this deal goes through, it sure will be a win for NY.

Why Raptors do this? If Toronto's intention is to build around a roster around Scottie, this should be a good deal. They get a perfect return for Pascal who is an impending FA this offseason. They get Hield, Walker, Griffin and a FRP for Siakam and McDaniels. This deal is perfect because they get two young players with untapped potential in Walker and Griffin, who can fit around Scottie. They also get Buddy Hield, who can play a significant role in Raps offense. They get a FRP, which will become handy in building a perfect roster around Scottie. This short rebuild will be good because it will let the core of Barrett, Barnes, and Quickley to carry the team, while being surrounded by future stars in Walker, and Griffin. A lineup of Quickley, Barrett, Barnes, Walker, and Poeltl may be a good young team in the future.
