Why Rockets: Break Wall's contract to smaller more manageable contracts. Keep, trade, or buyout.
Why Blazers: Likely to start their rebuild after trading McCollum this past season. Get a huge expiring, a young power forward who was an All-Star 2 seasons ago, and 3 first round picks. Too few/many picks?
Why Knicks: Have a true elite lead guard who is clutch in Lillard. Dame Time in New York. Guard rotation is secured with the addition of McConnell. Focus on bringing in bigs that complements the squad.
Why Lakers: This would fix their spacing issues as all three players can shoot the 3 ball. Rose can be the spark plug and secondary playmaker. Turner and Davis frontcourt have scary defensive potential. Hield is who the Lakers should have traded for instead of Westbrook. Trade two firsts if necessary. Championship or bust move.
Why Pacers: Continue the rebuild. Get a huge expiring, a first and a second.
