NOTE

This trade is a bit incomplete. I think the picks need a little more re-adjusting. I think this format is intriguing though. Just interested to see feedback.

New York

I've heard the report about NYK being interest in KAT is bogus anyways, but I'll run with it. If the report is garbage, then you can throw this trade in the trash. Knicks dump Randle and Robinson, while moving the 2025 protected first from the Bucks. KAT is the center they've had a side-eye on for awhile, and they can't help but go all-in for the second time this offseason, all to beat Boston.

Lineup:

Starting - Brunson, Bridges, Hart, Anunoby, KAT

Bench - DiVincenzo, McBride, Precious (Would need to resign I think?)

Utah

Probably the place where the trade needs the most adjustment. Green plus 2 firsts isn't bad for Ainge will want more. Also - sending out Clarkson to not overcrowd the guard room in Utah. I think Ainge goes for it with 3 picks plus Green, but I could be wrong.

Lineup - George, Green, Collins, Hendricks, Kessler

Bench - Collier, Sensabaugh, Sexton, Flipkowski, Eubanks, Cody Williams

New Orleans

Pelicans bounce on the Ingram contract, getting the center they need, plus Randle. Not an ideal move for the Pelicans, Randle and Zion are definitely not an ideal fit, but the pick from NYK sweetens the deal. Can Randle play small ball 5? Maybe, but probably not. I think the Pelicans are the most likely to say no, besides the next team...

Lineup - Murray, CJ, Herb, Zion, Randle

Bench - Robinson, Murphy, Alvarado, Theis

Houston

Rockets pay a big fee to get Ingram. Not even sure why they would do this, getting rid of two firsts and Green. Maybe if they can convince Ingram to sign for less than the max? Definitely the worst part of the trade, but they love the idea of trading for KD, so maybe the worse version of him also interests them.

Lineup - VanVleet, Reed, Ingram, Jabari, Sengun

Bench - Amen, Adams, Eason, Whitmore, Green

Minnesota

Minnesota says yes almost instantly. Cap savings for an almost equal player for a team that is suffering cap-wise makes it easy for them. Lauri fits into the starting lineup perfectly. Extension coming soon. Clarkson is a nice bonus for bench scoring they desperately need.

Lineup - Conley, ANT, Jaden, Lauri, Rudy

Bench - Rob, NAW, Naz, Shannon, Clarkson

My Profile is just gonna be KAT trades until they move him.
