Portland: If they don't feel a franchise star is there at #3, moves back to #12 in the draft this year and Nets pick #22. Gets decent players to stay competitive or use in another trade, frees up money from Nurkic's contract to resign Grant, and a couple talented projects. Plus they get good draft picks (Houston's 1-4 protected 2024, Miami's 2025 protected turns into unprotected in 2026, Phoenix and Dallas way out in the future) spread out for years so they don't have to be the ones to bottom out.

Brooklyn: Gets Dame, keeps Bridges, uses Nurkic as a backup to Claxton. Still keeps some picks they got in the Durant trade.

OKC: Moves up to #3, drafts Brandon Miller (maybe Jarace Walker). Eats $70M+ while they have cap room before resigning its young players to extensions in exchange of draft picks way out in the future.
