So on paper, I think this helps us. Mavs help facilitate some rumors we have heard:
NO => Jrue, Favors and LaL 2021 first
NO <= Turner, Lee, Wright
Why? This allows for the team to be handed over to Ball, sink or swim. They get a young big that is hopefully complimentary to Zion and a backup PG to solidify the bench.
Ind => Turner, McDermott and 2022 first
Ind <= KAT, JJ
Why? Only if they believe KAT and Sabonis can co-exist. However, it gets them much better on paper.
Min => KAT, RoCo and Dieng
Min <= Jrue, Powell, McDermott, 2020 GSW second, 2021 LaL first and 2022 Ind first
Why? Rumors are that they desperately need a starting PG. Also, if KAT is disgruntled and asking out is the only way this happens. Immediate $10M cap clearing with more to come off each year. Add 2 first rounders and 1 almost first rounder and they have enough firepower to upgrade Wiggins if the opportunity presents itself and is still needed.
Dal => Powell, Wright, JJ, Lee and 2020 GSW second
Dal <= Favors, RoCo, Dieng
Why? Giving up Powell and Wright hurts, but on paper I think this is an upgrade to our team as a whole. Lineup looks like this:
Luka/JB/JJB
THJ/Curry/Broekhoff
RoCo/DFS/Reaves
KP/Kleber/Roby
Favors/Dieng/Boban
Again, on paper, those are all high character guys with more well rounded skillsets. Defense goes up tremendously while Offense shouldn't suffer all that much if at all. The contributing 3rd string talent lowers a bit, but there is lots of youth that can get some garbage time to work on stuff.
I do know this is a 4 team trade and it'll never happen, that is not the point of proposing trades. Again, I think Min is a bit light on value for KAT, but this is assuming he is demanding out.

Do you guys believe Valanciunas might be available for Lee/2nd Rounders? Since JJJ and Clarke semms to be their future frontcourt. Would be an intriguing piece to add. Bruiser, rebounder and can shoot the 3-pt. Not sure about his D, but can't be worse than Powell's. Maybe they trade Crowder for Brunson/Jackson, since they have Caboclo and Crowder is expiring. Working up a trade it goes:I think this basically breaks down to Crowder for JJ and Lee, Brunson with the seconds for Jonas. It's decent value IMO. I think Val would probably drop some of his minutes giving him, Powell and Maxi basically 22 mpg each allowing Val to concentrate more on defense. He pretty much wouldn't be good on the perimeter at all, so he would probably have to be the center of the 3 in the zone. Doesn't help KP roam which is what he's the best at.
DAL: Crowder, Valanciunas.
MEM: Brunson, Lee, Jackson, 2020 GSW 2nd, 2020 UTA 2nd.
