Current form…

All in their prime….

Spurs get: Brandon Ingram Bruce Brown

Pelicans get: Kyle Kuzma Blake Wesley Spurs 2025 2nd Round Pick

Raptors get: Keldon Johnson Zach Collins Marvin Bagley III Tre Jones

Wizards get: Kelly Olynyk Chris Boucher Ochai Agbaji Spurs 2025 1st Round Pick Raptors 2026 1st Round Pick Spurs 2026 2nd Round Pick Spurs 2027 2nd Round Pick Spurs 2028 2nd Round Pick

Why the Spurs accept this: It's such a risky move and I feel like they will want to decline if they wish to continue tanking or don't want to risk Ingram rejecting an extension, which is understandable, but if they want to go all out for this season and maybe try to make the playoffs with CP3 on a rental, this is the trade. They also get Bruce Brown to strengthen the 1 and 2 positions since Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle might have to play the 3 at times. One of the problems with this trade letting go of Zach Collins, because it will weaken the FC but in the end they get a borderline All-Star as well as picking up Bruce Brown who …

What my grades depend on:

Trades and FA signings=40%

Extensions with players=27.5%

Draft=32.5% (Even if teams didn't get a good draft pick, selecting the best player still matters)

Yeah most of these teams made really good off-season decisions so I had to be a little more generous with the grades than the Eastern grid one. Blazers are probably C- btw….

(Bulls should be D+, but there was no space and they still didn't deserve it over the other 3 cuz even tho the Giddey trade improved their situation and they drafted Buzelis, that Derozan trade didn't give them shit and they still can't find a way to trade Lavine, and they need to trade Vucevic too ASAP)…

All in their prime….

NO PARTICULAR ORDER

Nets receive: Tre Jones John Collins

Spurs receive: Cameron Johnson Jazz 2026 1st Round Pick (More Favorable Protected) Nets 2028 2nd Round Pick

Jazz receive: Ben Simmons Zach Collins Spurs 2026 2nd Round Pick

Why the Nets accept this: They get a better floor general who actually won't miss the entire season for sleeping on a bed full of cookie crumbs and get a slight upgrade at PF with John Collins.

Why the Spurs accept this: They upgrade at PF with Cam Johnson and exchange their 2026 2nd round pick with a 2026 1st while also getting a 2028 2nd from the Nets. Tre Jones won't cause much of a loss for the Spurs as they got plenty of point guards anyway.

Why the Jazz accept this: Yes I did say that about Ben Simmons but still if you allow him to play 20 minutes a game and don't give him a heavy workload, he'll still give you numbers and they replace Collins with……Collins, and he might get the same work done if he gets the same minutes.

Warriors receive: Brandon Ingram

Magic receive: Anfernee Simons

Pelicans receive: Deandre Ayton Caleb Houstan Lindy Waters III

Trail Blazers receive: Andrew Wiggins Cole Anthony Kevon Looney Jett Howard Magic 2026 1st Round Pick Magic 2028 1st Round Pick Warriors 2026 1st Round Pick Pelicans 2027 2nd Round Pick Warriors 2028 2nd Round Pick

Why the Warriors accept this: They get Brandon Ingram who they've been targeting for a while since Lauri Markkanen might not be an option after possibilities of an extension. They get an upgrade at SF and part ways with two players who weren't doing much for the Warriors and only get rid of one 1st.

Why the Magic accept this: They add a young scoring threat to the roster who can play both guard positions and just like the Warriors, get an upgrade at PG while parting ways with other players who weren't doing much for them but do have to give up two 1sts. This trade increases their strength for playoff runs so Magic should do this.

Why the Pelica…

Warriors receive: Lauri Markkanen Brook Lopez

Bucks receive: Walker Kessler Moses Moody Jazz 2031 2nd Round Pick

Jazz receive: Andrew Wiggins Jonathan Kuminga Kevon Looney Pat Connaughton Marjon Beauchamp Warriors 2025 1st Round Pick Warriors 2027 1st Round Pick Bucks 2031 1st Round Pick Warriors 2026 2nd Round Pick Warriors 2028 2nd Round Pick

Why the Warriors accept this: They finally get Lauri Markkanen to attempt to stay alive in the playoffs while bringing along Brook Lopez to strengthen the defense.

Why the Bucks accept this: They get a way younger version of Brook Lopez without a jumper in Walker Kessler, who is a great rim protector and won't need the ball as much as Brook Lopez so Damian Lillard can get more shots up. They also get Moses Moody to replace Malik Beasley. That is two young assets that will provide help for the Bucks for the coming years.

Why the Jazz accept this: They continue the rebuild by finally letting go of Lauri Markkanen and bring in Jonathan Kuminga…

This was a pain in the ass to make….

Warriors get: Lauri Markkanen

Bucks get: Walker Kessler Moses Moody

Jazz get: Jonathan Kuminga Kevon Looney Pat Connaughton AJ Green Delon Wright Andre Jackson JR Chris Livingston Warriors 2025 1st Round Pick Warriors 2026 1st Round Pick Bucks 2031 1st Round Pick Warriors 2028 2nd Round Pick

Why the Warriors accept this: Lauri Markkanen

Why the Bucks accept this: They complete their starting 5 by replacing Malik Beasley with Moses Moody, a player worth keeping for the future and preparing the replacement of Brook Lopez with Walker Kessler. Kessler is a great rim protector next to Giannis and despite not having the scoring of Brook Lopez, this allows Damian Lillard to be able to get more of his own points without Brook trying to get his fair share. Also Walker is more than a decade younger than Brook. (I was actually gonna try to add Brook Lopez into this trade somehow but I didn't know if Bucks fans would like that. If you're a Bucks fan, let me know in the comments if you'd want m…

Current or prime, however you wanna do it….

Current form or prime doesn't really matter here, whatever you want….

Lakers get: Onyeka Okongwu

Hawks get: Jarred Vanderbilt Christian Wood Maxwell Lewis 2025 2nd Round Pick

Why the Lakers do this: It's pretty simple. They actually need a center desperately and Onyeka is the guy the Lakers should get. He averaged 10 pts, 7 rebounds, and 1.5 stocks. And he's only 23. Besides Vanderbilt, they don't have to give too much for Onyeka since the two other guys weren't helping the Lakers much at all.

Why the Hawks do this: They don't deserve Onyeka Okongwu, he must be freed. Hawks is not the team you want to develop into a better player with (not like the Lakers isn't the same lol) but both teams/franchises have completely different situations. One is trying to do better in the playoffs and the other is trying to tank with one of the best point guards in the league and a player who was the first overall pick?????. Anyway, Jarred Vanderbilt would be a good pick up to help at the FC and they also get two young guys in Jalen Hood-Schifino and Maxwell Lewis. Bot…
