Why MN Does This: Solves their PG problem, get great team players in Gafford and Washington with playoff experience and friendly contracts. Murray helps steady the ship at point guard. I think Jaden can blossom into the #2 guy similar to Pippen. Reid gets a starting promotion.

Why NOLA Does This: Move on from Murray to allow other guys to develop and get more touches. Fears takes over starting job. Gobert provides much needed backline defense to keep NOP competitive as their young guys grow.

Why Dallas Does This: Herro + Flagg would be a lot of fun. Shades of Nash + Dirk. Mitchell provides steady point guard help here. Shannon makes a great slasher next to Flagg as well. Randle provides more shot creation in a low pressure situation or is flipped for more picks, pieces.

Why Miami Does This: Get an ideal duo in Irving and Bam. This feels like a Pat Riley move. Another possibility is Wiggins, Mitchell + #13 for Irving.
