OKC Thunder Sends out Topic/Dieng and 4 1sts (Utah/Philly 26 & DEN/SA 27) for Ware/Krejci & MIA 31 Unprotected and MIA 31 swap. This makes a major improvement to bench shooting (Krejci shooting over 40% last 3 years and Ware is 41.9% this season) on cheap controllable contracts and gives OKC a talented backup C if they move on from IHart over the off-season that is versatile enough to also play PF as needed. Krejci also gives OKC a taller 3pt specialist in case they need to move on from Joe's $11.3m salary for 26/27. In addition, this also pushes out 1st round picks into the future that OKC have an abundance of in 26/27. OKC would have 14 rotation capable players, to better endure the injuries that have plagued them this season, and to move off players to stay under the 2nd Apron more easily in 26/27 and beyond.
Starters: SGA/Dort/JDub/Chet/IHart | Bench: Ajay/Joe/C.Wallace/Caruso/Aa.Wiggins/Kenrich/Krejci/JWil/Ware (Sorber - Out Indefinitely)

Milwaukee Bucks The Bucks move off Giannis/Turner for Herro, Porzingis, 6 1sts, and expiring salary. The Jazz pick gives the Bucks the opportunity to out tank the Jazz and could turn into a 9-10 pick in 2026. They also get their own 2027 pick back, plus 3 other 26/27 draft picks to stock up on young talent. Porzingis will either expire $30m or could be traded for more assets.
