    Warriors pick is of course the 2020 first. Also, Green is NOT included in the deal, I just didn't want the trade to fail

    WHY WARRIORS DO IT:

    They get the 6th man of the year + 2 firsts they can trade up (they should be able to get Saddiq Bey/Nesmith) and a third second for their 2021 draft.

    WHY MAVS DO IT:

    I'd like this trade as a fan because he's young and for 15ish millions (new contract) we'd solve our rebounding problems and save money for freeagency.

    WHY CHARLOTTE DO IT:

    CP3 would help Devonte a lot + they get rid of Rozier. A second is a small price to pay.

    MY THUNDER:

    We have a lot of cap space, let's overpay Christian Wood.

    Let's select Haliburton + a C with Cavs pick.

    Starting 5: Haliburton, Dort, Shai, Wood, Zeller

    Haliburton is a projected Malcom Brogdon/Dejounte Murray mix, he's no CP3 (impossible to find another CP3) but he would be a great fit. I'm not sure about LaMelo's defense, I just selected (to me) the best available defensively. He's 6'5, so while CP3 is of course better, Tyrese has the height advantage.

    Dort and Shai are already there. Shai plays as SF in real life when both are on court.

    Wood had a breakout year in 2020. He's a good shooter from deep and room for improvement, has the ideal size to play as PF, he could easily turn into a Danilo Gallinari with better defense.

    Zeller, in the short-term of course, replaceS Adams. Hopefully the C selected in the second round (Carey? Oturu? Stewart? another one?) is good, or we just have to wait before adding the last piece.

    I FORGOT TO SIGN CHRISTIAN WOOD FOR THUNDER
