Suns trade Ayton, Crowder, Saric, and a 1st for Simmons to create a true big 3. They don’t want to give Ayton the max and McGee and Biyombo have been incredible for them. Simmons adds a whole new dimension to this team and matches Devin Booker’s timeline.

The Sixers clear max cap space to sign Harden and collect 4 1st round picks to trade for a 3rd star to join him and Embiid. They also regain control of their 2025 1st round pick which allows them to trade any of their own picks. Following this trade, they will be able to trade 8 1st round picks in the off-season which guarantees their choice at any player who asks out of their team. They also get some win now players for this season.

The Thunder trade 3 late 1st round picks to get the perfect young big man to pair with SGA.

The Jazz trade for Crowder to bolster their defense while also saving millions in luxury tax penalties.

The Spurs trade Thad Young, who is out of their rotation, for 3 2nd round picks.
