    76ers: Trade Ben Simmons for TJ Warren and Fred VanVleet

    They get a great PG who can play on or off-ball, and also plays great defense. They also get TJ Warren, whose a very good scorer who plays solid defense too.

    Raptors: Trade Fred VanVleet for Domantas Sabonis

    This one's a tough sell, but drafting Jalen Suggs and the deadline's trade for Gary Trent Jr. does signal both of Lowry and VanVleet finding new teams. This trade gives Toronto a new center (yes, Domantas is a center), and Toronto's strong player development program should help fix Sabonis's few flaws. Either way, they're trading a non-all-star for a younger all-star.. Easy enough trade.

    Pacers: Trade Domantas Sabonis and TJ Warren for Ben Simmons

    The fit of both Sabonis and Turner was never there, so trading one of them for Ben is ideal, rather than just trading Malcolm Brogdon for him. The fit of Ben and Turner is there, because most of Turner's offense comes from beyond the arc. Losing TJ hurts, but they played the year without him so it's not as bad as losing another guy. In this situation, btw, Ben is surrounded by shooters. He also has another ball-handler to take the ball in crunch time moments, if needed.

    New Starting 5's:

    Fred VanVleet, Matisse Thybulle, TJ Warren, Tobias Harris, Joel Embiid

    Jalen Suggs, Gary Trent Jr., OG Anunoby, Pascal Siakam, Domantas Sabonis

    Malcolm Brogdon, Justin Holiday, Caris LeVert, Ben Simmons, Myles Turner
