Pelicans take a flier Topic (BAE) for Bey and get 2 2nd's for taking Grant.

Hornets upgrade their starting unit. All it costs them is McNeely (too many forward prospects already) and a few spots in the 2027 late 1st round. They also waive Connaughton. This also pulls the Hornets into roster compliance with 15.

PG: White, Anderson, Mann SG: Dort, Allen, Sion SF: Kon, DFS, O'Neale PF: Miller, Steinbach, Saluan C: Naz, Diabate, Kalkbrenner

OKC get just below the 2nd Apron and save about $50m in luxury tax. Thunder move on from Topic while adding wing depth with 3pt shooting promise in McNeeley, and Dort while adding rotational wing depth in Bey who had a great season last year but is on an expiring contract. They get a slightly higher upside 2027 pick switching from Spurs to Heat as well.

PG: SGA, Ajay, Stirtz SG: Cason, Caruso, McCain SF: JDub, Bey, Kenrich, McNeeley PF: Chet, JWil, Sorber C: IHart, Mara
