Kat has been linked to the knicks recently and in the past. Defensively this hurts but offensively this helps. Kat reunites with thibs who he’s supposedly cool now with.

Wolves gain 2 late firsts with the knicks 2024 and bucks 2025 but the picks after could have value who knows only time will tell. They gain their point guard to take the starting lineup while keeping conley as backup and salary relief as fourniers an expiring as his 2nd yr is a team option.

Mavs gain a reliable center when healthy….

Blazers get ayton, gradey dick and picks in compensation for dame and get off nurkic contract. They waive most filler players

Suns take on nurkic bad contract but fill in the sf position with a elite perimeter defender in og

Raptors take a chance on trying to contend in the east by getting a top pg

Blazers: henderson, simons, sharpe/thybulle, grant, ayton

Raptors: dame, trent jr, barnes, siakam, poetl

Suns: beal, booker, og, kd, nurkic…

The blazers get multiple first round picks and some young players for dame. Since dame has no interest in playing anywhere else than miami and no other teams want to trade for him if hes not gonna be happy, there is a chance trailblazers could get less but id just hold onto dame at that point. Lowry gets buyout of contract and they dont include nurkic because no team is interested in him and can always just try again later. Besides they would have no one to play center and idk if theres any big men in future drafts

Magic clear up some of the guard jam and get more scoring that they desperately need. If they want to progress then i think this is a move they need to make.

Heat get dame and can start harris or richardson as defensive options at the 2…

I debated on the possible point guards like kyrie or fred vanvleet due to russels struggle in the playoffs however i just dont see the mavericks or raptors wanting a dlo as the center piece of either deal and making a big commitment. Lakers in this case are below the tax by 15 million with a couple roster spots that need minimums to fill. Remember they got some of these guys at the deadline so more time to gel can help. Sacrificing their 2029 first (last tradeable first) in a trade makes little sense unless theirs protections like the russ trade….

Bertans contract is non guaranteed in final yr so he is an expiring

Onyeka now gets a bigger role…

Looking at reports you may say well teams reportedly offered 3-4 firsts at the deadline. Og has a player option he more than likely will decline after next yr so essentially ur getting one guaranteed yr which expiring contracts don’t normally get huge value. I do believe he can attract 2 first round picks as a wing like him is valuable…
