Why sixers accept Sixers add 7 firsts along with JJJ, Russell, and Roddy to jumpstart a rebuild while remaining competitive. they do a similar idea to what the nets did with KD and Kyrie.

new sixers projected lineup Maxey - Russell - melton/THJ - roddy/JJJ - JJJ/reed

why Memphis accepts don't really need to explain why, but they get a huge upgrade at center with an MVP caliber player while keeping their core. they become the best team on paper in the league, and likely title favorites.

why mavericks accept they trade THJ and Bertans(two bad contracts) for a better fit in Tobias with one less year on the contract. THJ is a good player but doesn't fit the mavs current squad. Tobias can help them go for a chip. *note: the lottery protected first if it doesn't hit goes to 2028 top 10 protected. if it doesn't hit in 2028, it turns into two seconds. I thought this was enough for philly to take on the extra years of those contracts as well as getting worse players, but it also protects the mavericks from giving up a potential very valuable pick(as the highest it could be is pick 11). not to mention im sure the mavs will be in the playoffs for the next decade as long as they still have luka.

why lakers accept they need to either fully commit to winning now or blow it up. I think they fully commit and trade for harden and tucker to pair with AD and bron. they instantly become title contenders with the most talented big three the league has seen since harden, Kyrie, and KD. *note: lakers get harden fairly cheap because its a S&T (can't do that on TM for some reason, so lets just say 35 mil for two years.
