This trade has the Pacers sending over their star power forward Sabonis to Washington. The Pacers are currently 13th and the East and have been a big disappointment without T.J Warren. There are many trade rumors saying the Pacers should break up their forward duo of Sabonis and Turner and I agree. The key pieces going to the Pacers in this trade are Rui Hachimura and Thomas Bryant. Last year before tearing his ACL, Thomas Bryant averaged almost 17 ppg. If they even get half of that form this is a major win for them. They also add Rui Hachimura, a young talented forward, that really hasn't been on the court this year. Currently, he is stuck behind Kyle Kuzma so this would open up playtime for him. The Wizards started off the season 10-3 but have since dropped to 22-21 and are the 8th seed. This trade gives them a star to pair with Bradley Beal who is on one of the best contracts in the league. They do lose some depth but they have plenty of guys who should be getting minutes regardless…

This trade sends Dame to the Sixers and allows the Blazers to rebuild. The Spurs trade their talented young guard for a star in Simmons who needs a change of scenery. The Sixers become the best team in the East with this trade.

Blazers: Murray,McCollum, Thybulle, Covington, Nurkic Bench: Smith Jr, Simons, Powell, Little, Young

Sixers: Lillard, Maxey, Green, Harris, Embiid Bench: Curry, Milton, Korkmaz, Niang, Drummond

Spurs: Simmons, White, Walker, Johnson, Poetl Primo, Forbes, Vasell, McDermott, Landale…

This trade gives the Nuggets a great PG to keep them at the top of the West while their star Jamal Murray is out. The Nuggets do not know if Jamal Murray can return to his old form so this trade makes a lot of sense for them. The Celtics appear to be shopping Schroeder because they cannot retain him. This trade gives them a very underrated PG and a talented center.

Celtics: Smart, Brown, Tatum, Horford, Williams Bench: Morris, Pritchard, Richardson, Bol, Freedom

Nuggets: Schroeder, Barton, Gordon, Green, Jokic Bench: Campazzo, Hyland, Rivers, Green, Nnaji…

This trade sends the very underrated Lu Dort to Atlanta to become Trae Young's backcourt mate. He is young and is a great defender who can space the floor. The Thunder continue their rebuild by adding high potential players in Reddish and Johnson who need more minutes.

Hawks: Young, Dort, Hunter, Collins, Capela Bench: Williams, Bogdanovic, Huerter, Gallinari, Okungwu Final 3: Cooper, Wright, Dieng

Thunder: Gilgeous-Alexander, Giddey, Reddish, Bazley, Favors Bench: Maledon, Mann, Wiggins, Pokusevski, Robinson-Earl Final 3: Jerome, Johnson, Williams…

This trade makes the Sixers title favorites in the East and easily the best team. The Pelicans have been abysmal this year and this trade helps them start over.

Sixers: Maxey, Curry, Ingram, Harris, Embiid Bench: Graham, Korkmaz, Green/Thybulle, Niang, Drummond

Pelicans: Simmons, Alexander-Walker, Hart, Zion/Herb, Valinciunas Bench: Lewis Jr/Satoransky, Temple, Murphy, Hayes…

This trade makes the 76ers final contenders. This trade lets the Thunder rebuild around Maxey and Giddey because SGA does not really fit the timeline. The Kings add Simmons to make them a playoff team.

76ers: SGA, Curry, Green, Harris, Embiid

Thunder: Maxey, Giddey, Dort, Bagley, Favors

Kings: Fox, Haliburton, Barnes, Simmons, Holmes…

The Bulls add a great power forward that makes them contenders while the Raptors get young pieces to help with their mini rebuild.
