Overview: This trade helps the hornet move forward with a bright young trio in LaMelo, Zion and Miller (hoping that they stay healthy). NOP move on from Zion who hasn't seemed to be healthy enough for them to compete and get some nice pieces to hopefully win them games in Bridges, Williams. They also get picks to sweeten the deal.

Hornets: Charlotte have been down the bottom for a while but definitely have shown progress in their team overall. They seem to have found their stars in LaMelo (when healthy) and Miller who has shined as a bright young star. All this team really needs is some more support through youth to help this team start becoming competitive. This is where Zion comes in and this might be a bit of a gamble with all the health issues he has faced but if he can stay healthy the Hornets might finally have the foundation to build around this young three. Zion is a ridiculous lob threat and when you pair that with LaMelo's playmaking ability you get a scary outcome that oppo…

TrailBlazers: With Portland drafting Clingan and also having Ayton on their team they have too many centres that they don't need, so in this trade they are sending out Robert Williams III who although is young has struggled with injuries will be moved on from. For Robert Williams III, Portland will get Boucher who is on the last year of his deal and can have his salary dumped creating more cap space for the Blazers, but also supply bench production for this upcoming season. They get a FRP on top of that from the Warriors which is top 8 protected and should have some value for next years draft.

Raptors: Toronto sends out Poeltl and Boucher bringing in some more bench depth and youth in their team. The main stand out of this trade for the Raptors is Robert Williams III who is still young but has just struggled with some injury issues. We have seen though how talented he really is at his time with the Celtics and if the Raptors are able to unlock that they have a nice addition to this co…

This includes every pick in this years draft with draft analysis for the whole first round. Two SRP have been taken away by the league which I have highlighted so make sure to ignore them. We will see how accurate I really am….

I am starting a series where I will cook up a trade for any player that is in trade rumours and has a possibly high chance to go out the door.

Pelicans: Although they made the playoffs it was short for NOP as they get swept by the Thunder and go back to the offseason not making much improvement from last year. They have a very talented roster that just can't seem to click, mostly because of Zion always finding himself injured but they lack in some areas such as the guard position. With Trey Murphy likely to get a contract the Pelican have rumoured to be focusing in on him rather than Ingram and are putting Ingram up for sale. Murray would be a perfect piece for this team, a bucket getter who is able to create his own shots finding space between his opponent. This creates an unstoppable duo between him and Zion with both of them getting most of their points in different areas on the floor, Murray beyond the arc and Zion at the rim. With their starting centre being a free agent it might…

Hawks Lineup: PG: Young, Daniels SG: Bogdanovic, Harris, Lufkin SF: Ingram, Bey PF: Johnson, Vando C: Okongwu, Sarr (Guessing that they select him with the 1st pick)

Pelicans Lineup: PG: Murray, Alvarado SG: Jones, Hawkins SF: Murphy III, Okeke, Griffin PF: Williamson, Robinson, Lidell C: Capela, Nance Jr

Lakers Lineup: PG: McCollum, Dinwiddie SG: Reaves, Hood-Schifino SF: Hunter, Reddish PF: James, Wood C: Davis, Hayes

Magic Lineup: PG: Russell, Anthony, SG: Suggs, Black SF: Wagner, Ingles, Howard PF: Banchero, Isaac, Houston C: Carter Jr, Wagner…

Hopefully you guys like it and make sure to drop your thoughts on it….

Suns Lineup after Signings: PG: CP3, Beal, Lee SG: Booker, Gordon, Okogie SF: Craig, Bol, Roddy PF: KD, Wood C: Nurkic, Eubanks

It may look bad having a PG coming off the bench making 50 million dollars but sometimes you have to just bite the bullet and take it. I think this lineup has a much better chance with a bit more wing depth with a mix of defence and Offence. Hopefully during the Offseason more chemistry is created between everyone and they start winning games. It would be hard for them to sign people with their small cap space but I think Craig and Wood are the best possible options on a low amount of money while Bol is young and is a piece that they can hopefully develop. This is probs the hardest rebuild I have done because they don't have much tradable pieces but hopefully its okay….

Suns Lineup after trade: PG: CP3, Beal, Lee SG: Booker, Lee SF: Okogie, Gordon PF: Durant, Roddy C: Nurkic, Eubanks

Okay I know what you're probably thinking, why would CP3 go back to the Suns? well let me tell you why. The Suns are in a terrible position with a big three which was meant to go far into the playoffs get swept in the first round. To make it worse they don't own any of their draft picks for years. So the only thing they can really do is run it back with the same big three that lost in the first round embarrassingly. Although my first thought would be to trade Beal it wouldn't be that realistic since he has a trade clause and would probs want to stay but also no one wants his massive contract on their team. One of the many problems this team has is on offence because they don't have a playmaker, Booker was forced to be the PG and he struggled which inevitably was a big reason why they played poorly. So why not get a pure PG in CP3, we have seen how well he works with this…

I'll be doing a offseason for every team that gets eliminated in the playoffs as we go through….

Hawks Lineup: PG: Murray, Vincent SG: K. Johnson, Bufkin, Matthews SF: Hachimura, Vando, Griffin PF: J. Johnson, Williams, Bey, Dieng C: Okongwu, Collins, Fernando

Hawks: Atlanta continue to get some younger pieces that follow the timeline of Murray. Starting with Hachimura who will be a starter for this team and will show incredible improvement on the floor, he will also add the much needed defence that this team needs. Talking about defence they also get Vando who could grow to be a DPOY candidate on this team, adding some PG depth they also get Vincent. From OKC they get some more younger pieces with Kenrich Williams and Dieng. They get two SRP in draft capital going forward….

Hawks Lineup: PG: Murray, Jones SG: Bogdanovic, Bufkin, Matthews SF: K. Johnson, Hunter, Griffin PF: J. Johnson, Okongwu, Bey C: Capela, Collins, Fernando

Hawks: The Backcourt of Murray and Young has been horrible and this team needs a new spark of life. In this trade the Hawks move on from their franchise PG and look to retool a roster around Murray. In this trade they get some young talent in Johnson a player who next to Jalen Johnson could reach new heights and become a stud that Atlanta needs. They also get a young backup big in collins who could improve as a nice bench piece as time goes on and Tre Jones who can fill in the whole that Trae Young filled, possibly following his footsteps as a high level passer. They also gain two of their own picks back from the Murray trade and get one from the Spurs which could be valuable down the line, This picks can be used for more flexibility in trades when this roster starts becoming dangerous.

Spurs: San Antonio need a PG besides Wemby to…

I will do another one of these when the lottery is decided so I can do the most accurate draft that I can….

Raptors Starting Lineup After Trade: PG: IQ/Schroder/Fultz

SG: Harris/Dick/Grimes

SF: Barrett/Nwora/Fournier

PF: Barnes/Houston/Dieng

C: Poeltl/Poku/Porter

OKC need some rebounders, those players willing to attack the boards and hustle for the team. Boucher fits the mood perfectly, a player who bring energy off the bench with fantastic defence at protecting the rim. he brings a veteran mindset to a locker room that has never experienced the playoffs. The Raptors get two players who are the future moving forward with BBQ in Dieng and Poku. Poku is an interesting player who will get a lot of opportunities on a raptors squad that needs centre depth, he could definitely blossom on this team since he is so raw with many talent to be discovered. Dieng is also a young prospect who is a very nice addition to this team filling out the hole left by Boucher. Lastly its rounded off with a SRP….

Toronto Raptors Lineup After Trade: PG: IQ/Schroder/Fultz SG: Barrett/Harris/Grimes SF: Nwora/Dick/Fournier PF: Barnes/Houston/Boucher C: Poeltl/Porter/Young

The Magic need more shooters if they want to really take a big leap so getting a young shooter in GTJ follows the timeline of Banchero and Wagner with him being apart of their future. They get OPJ another catch and shoot player and lastly McDaniels who could see some improvement on a new roster. Toronto takes on Fultz's expiring contract which they will be able to dump for cap room later, he could also still be apart of their future as a backup PG. They get Harris a young SG to replace GTJ who although isn't as good offensively as Gary still offers solid effort on both ends of the floor and can improve forward with BBQ. Lastly they get a young bright player in Houston who can fill out the PF position which the raptors need and get better moving with BBQ, he is also friends with Scottie so it would be nice to get a player who Barn…

Raptors Lineup After Trade: PG: Quickley/Schroder

SG: GTJ/Grimes/Temple

SF: Barrett/Fournier/OPJ

PF: Barnes/Dick/McDaniels

C: Poeltl/Porter/Young/Boucher

In this trade NY send themselves into contention by adding a spark off their bench in Bruce Brown who has the knowledge of winning a championship with the nuggets and can be an incredible backup anywhere on the floor. He will be able to fix some of the problems NY have been struggling with. Now the raptors get rid of Brown and get a nice return which includes Fournier who for now can add some nice shooting off the bench which the raptors would like but also will have a contract that when ends can be used for cap room. In terms of pieces for the BBQ era we have Grimes a nice young defensive guard with the grit and grind that Toronto likes in their players. He also know IQ and Barrett from being teammates together so he shouldn't feel to much discomfort in a new city. Lastly they get a FRP which won't be to valuable but allows the …

Rockets: Houston are looking to make some moves with a big offseason acquiring Fred VanVleet and Dillion Brooks in FA. They are just missing that star level player factor that Mikal can bring on this rockets team. He will be able to add some scoring knocking down threes and hitting some tough jumpers. Most importantly though he is a fantastic defender with a huge wingspan covering huge areas of the court. Houston are lacking in defence with only Brooks so Mikal being able to help with that area can help take some pressure off of Brooks guarding the teams opposition player.

Nets: Brooklyn are worse than expected. Obviously they were looking to rebuild by parting ways with their big 3 but a massive problem is they don't even own their pick this year which means all of this losing is going to waste. Speaking about going to waste Mikal's talent is being wasted on a team looking to build with their young players in Thomas and hopefully Clayton if he decides to stay. Getting a young player …

GSW: The warriors are terrible. straight and simple they have no chance to contend in the west with the lineup they currently have around Steph Curry. They are going to need to fix their problems before the playoff window closes and they have a disappointing season. One of the problems Golden State has had for years is a true big man which they are obtaining in this trade from the bulls, the player is Nikola Vucevic. Vucevic is a modern scoring big man with the ability to stretch the floor and allow Steph Curry to find space on offence, he can rebound and add scoring inside which the warriors are lacking in desperately. To help with defence they get Craig and Melton who will both add solid bench depth to a team which is lacking in that area.

Philly: The Sixers haven't made it past the second round in forever even with their MVP Joel Embiid. They are missing that winning mindset that championship teams need in their players such as Bruce Brown was for the nuggets. A player who fits tha…

Raptors: Toronto are moving forward with their trio of Barnes, Barrett and Quickley with Gary Trent Jr, Schroder and Dick coming off the bench in the guard position. They don’t really see a point of having a valuable asset in Bruce Brown going to waste so they have a chance to trade him for some nice pieces moving forward. They get Grimes a young backup SG who can be apart of Toronto’s future going forward bringing great overall defence off the bench. They get Fournier who can add solid shooting off the bench and when his contract ends can create cap space that they can use in free agency. Lastly they get a FRP in 2025 which might not be very valuable as it’s from the bucks but is nice to get a young piece as apart of your team moving forward.

Knicks: NY are looking to make some noise in the east which means they are going to need to create a stronger team. A perfect piece to have coming off the bench is Brown a player who fills out everything a competitive team needs to win a champio…

According to reports the Knicks are showing interest in acquiring Jordan Clarkson and the Lakers in acquiring Sexton.

Knicks: NY have a stockpile of picks that they can use to make a stronger roster around Jalen Brunson. A Player they have shown interest in is Jordan Clarkson having an incredible season so far working well in the backcourt at creating shots and hitting them efficiently. Clarkson would work well in NY backcourt with Brunson helping take some off the pressure of him making it easier for him to score. He could also come off the bench which he is knows very well since being a six man of the year not to long ago, he could lead the bench lineup on the floor and make sure that there is still a offensive presence even with Brunson/Randle off.

Lakers: The lakers offence sucks with no creation and all the focus on LeBron and AD. They need a reliable player who you can count on to get buckets and score, They have tried it in Dlo but he isn't reliable enough so they have to look…

Lakers: LA need an offensive scorer that can come in and hit big time shots and drain threes. Clarkson fits this perfectly coming off the bench for the Jazz putting up starter like numbers even being the best player on the court when he is hot. His talent is being wasted and he should be able to show his talent on a competitive team. They also get a nice backup PG in Dunn who brings a competitive spirit off the bench that could get the lakers offence going when it gets slow. The offence is looking much better making it harder to guard, letting LeBron and AD get some space to go to work.

Jazz: The Jazz need to follow a timeline which is building around this young lineup and seeing them improve in the future. Clarkson is 31 with 3 yrs still left to go on his contract, me personally I don't see the future involving Clarkson in it so it might be a good move to trade him while he still has some value. In return for trading Clarkson and Dunn you get Hachimura who is starting to get into the…
