Clippers get to reunited Pascal Siakam and Kyle Lowry with Kawhi Leonard, as well as Ibaka, and actually have a real system with ball-movement, instead of "non-elite playmaking" that Paul George provides. Also, Siakam give the Clippers a weak-side rim protector that they're still missing, as well as one who can be an option in a small-ball lineup, against say a "Davis' Lakers" or "Green's Warriors". Lowry will have to be a sign-and-trade on a three-year for around $60M.

Now, I know in first glance, Wiggins looks like he had a big improvement going to the Warriors but look deeper and you'll see a lot of empty numbers. Advanced metrics still show Wiggins to be a 56.8 TS% player, with a .080 WS/48, 107 ORTG and 111 DRTG. And thinking about the "box-in-one" used in the play-in game by Memphis, the respectability of his shot-creation from defenses are moot.

So instead, an upgrade with having "Pressureless P," who would actually get to play in a pleasureless situation by not having to be the unequivocal second option with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson on the team. Plus, George's defense means Klay doesn't have to so relied upon on that end. Also, George gives you better shot-creation that can be staggered when Curry's off-the-court.

Lastly, James Wiseman, hometown kid Andrew Wiggins, the 2021 Minnesota lottery-pick from Golden State and Rondo for cap purposes. It will allow Raptors to reset and rebuild with pretty good young vets that they already have in VanVleet, Anunoby and Trent Jr. All the need to find get in the lottery to find that top tier talent to take them back to the top. Hopefully, it'll only be a for a season or two given that they now have the fourth-pick in this year's draft. Maybe Jalen Green or Jalen Suggs can be their elite-tier player to grow with.
