2025 Off-Season: Which Good Centers Get Traded?

[Skybox]

Is the Mark Williams deal for Claxton fair?

I like Mark with Trae on the HAWKS (something around Lakers FRP + late FRP or Bufkin?) or the BULLS with Giddey (Smith + Blazers FRP?)

I like Ayton to ATL for the same reasons without the injury concerns. Obviously, many other factors, including salary (expiring either way, but...). Trae could get Ayton enough easy touches and stats that he might play defense. Surrounded by excellent role players, that's a pretty dangerous duo. With Clingan on board, I can't imagine it would take a ton of trade assets to get Ayton.

Yes, I also like the BULLS, who also have an excess of centers "in the same archetype" Vuc/Collins/Smith... they also have the Blazers' selection, I'm not sure what type of trade they could make, but I think they would be good trade partners.
