Before you rip it apart consider the needs of each team. Considers where they are and their desire to push for contention. The warriors are looking to maximize a 2 year window. Surround Steph, Jimmy, and Dray with size, defense, and shooting and they have a punchers chance.

Goga is the piece which I am unsure of his value. Outside of Magic subreddit who probably think he is the next coming of Jakob Poeltl 3.0, he is an above average backup centre. He is still young and is on a favourable contract. He would be a great fit on the warriors and despite them having Horford, TJD, (Post. moved in the deal) Dray Horford needs insurance and Goga fits well. He doesnt profile as the same player offensively but is a really underrated defender.

The Warriors are losing considerable amount of shooting but get a lot of versatility back, length, and defense. Also these players are reliable and good for 75+ games.

Adding Murray is a no brainer, 6'8 jumbo SG or wing who profiles as a movement shooter. high volume 3pt shooter, great wing defender. Versatile and he can slide into many roles for the Warriors.

The Warriors sub maybe scoffs at adding a pick, but I value Goga highly and Murray is a good asset.

The Kings is simple. They need to really push for talent and Kuminga PLUS a 2028 first round pick gives them a better chance at that than what Murray's ceiling projects to be. (Arguably the best asset in this entire deal, '28 1st could be neg. for a diff. year)

Orlando Magic

Currently the Orlando Magic are in a place similar to Detroit IMO. Look at what happened there when you surrounded Cade with some very good shooters/ movement shooters. As it stands the Magic have 4 bigs

Wendell Carter Jr. (starter likely) Goga Bitadze Mo Wagner (rotation) Jonathan Isaac (WILDCARD, insane defender if healthy an absolute weapon)

They are shipping out Goga - non shooting big man they get back one of the league best high volume, movement shooters in Buddy Hield has also quietly worked on many of his weaknesses in the class GSW system / tean. He has probably had his best defensive year ever (not saying he is some stopper, just improved)

On top of that they are also receiving an intriguing prospect, and older recent draft pick in Quentin Post. This Guy projects as a 4/5. Defensively he can at times hold his own, surrounded in a good system he can hold his own. Where he earns his playing time is on the other end. His 3 point shooting is absolutely elite, especially with his size. He has a pretty quick, smooth stroke and is not afraid to put them up. He understands thats what is asked of him. He is a smart player, to get PT as a rookie on that GSW team is no small feat. He earned the teams trust and played rotation minutes in big games.

Magic are getting immediately their (at worst) 2nd and 3rd best shooters for Goga + 2nd rnd pick. For a team desperate for shooting having Buddy running off screens with Bane as well this gives them a floor of solid shooting. Post is also a legit stretch big who could find a role given how well they can insulate defensively. The Magic are a better team from this.
