Sixers
POTENTIAL LINEUP
Maxey, Melton, Og, Batum, Embiid Fultz, Bev, Oubre, Roco, Reed
Why We do This
Adding defense
Adding Guard depth
Getting Roco more minutes
Keeping chemistry
Despite a "overpay" in terms of raw value OG is infinitely more valuable than tobi in the nick nurse system
Raptors
POTENTIAL LINEUP
Shroder, Trent, Scottie, Tobi, Poetl Flynn, Springer/dick/Bouknight, Mccdaniels/Porter, Smoth/Precious, Boucher
Why They do This
Cash in and begin rebuild around scottie
Still solid roster that can compete for a playin spot
Good return for siakam and og (3 firsts for og and pascal nets in 3 prospects and a solid starting forward 2 firsts and 4 seconds)
Have a set direction for the first time in years
Pacers
POTENTIAL LINEUP
Hali, Brown, Nesmith, Pascal. Turner TJ, Nemhard, Mathurin, Toppin, Richards
Why They do This
Build a legit contending lienup
Strengthens their weak defense
Gets a great bench lob threat rebounding center who is good defensively
Only trade 2 firsts and 2 prospects for pascal and get back 2 seconds for hield, huge win value wise and allows them flexibility to upgrade in the future
Magic
POTENTIAL LINEUP
Black, Anthony, F Wagner, Paolo, Wendell Suggs, Hield, Ingles/Issac, M Wagner, Goga
Why They do This
Opens up more minites for guys like suggs and black, fultz was eating them before the season
Adds much needed spacing around Paolo and Franz
Keeps their defensive identity
Allows for cole to start, their best shot creating guard
Hornets
POTENTIAL LINEUP
Lamelo, terry, Hayward, Miles, Mark TJ, Bryce/Theo, Miller/Bryce, Miller/JT, PJ
Why They do This
Get a legit backup Point Guard which they need
Get off contracts they dont like
Net some seconds for mid guys at best and a good backup center (can be replaced via trade)
