Why the Bucks do it: The raptors send Gradey Dick for Milwaukee's two 26 and 27 1st rd pick in order to allow the Bucks to trade all their players like Dame, tank and rebuild while getting RJ and Jakob two players that improved this season.

Why the Pelicans do it: They add much needed shooting to their team and can now move on from CJ Mccollum's expensive contract. They Draft Jeremiah Fears and their roster will be nice and promising. S5: Fears/Murray when he comes back, Gradey, Murphy, Zion, Missi and Bench: Herb Jones, Hawkins, Matkovic, alvarado, etc.

Why the Raptors do it: You get a Franchise player, arguably a top 3 player in the league, you send out IQ's contract to obtain Coby White (a better shooter) and Vucevic (one of the only centers you can pair up with Giannis. S5: Coby White, Brandon Ingram, Scottie Barnes, Giannis, Vucevic and Bench: Shead, walter, agbaji, mogbo, boucher, lawson, etc.

Why the Bulls do it: You get the 9th pick on top of your 12th pick in a stacked draft, you get a future first, you can keep developing IQ and finally be a bottom seeded team that doesn't fight in the play-in so you can get a better pick in 2026 and hopefully even land a franchise player. The 2026 draft is also pretty stacked so getting top 5 is good.

S5: IQ, Giddey, Buzelis, Patrick Williams or the 12th pick (Collin Murray Boyles or Noah Essengue), the 9th pick (Maluach or Queen) and Bench: Lonzo, Tre jones, jalen smith, Zach Collins, THT, etc.
