Denver
In:Lavine/Caruso/Craig Out:MPJ/Jackson/Nnaji

Why?
They lose the size advantage on the Wing but Lavine is a more complete and dynamic player. Denver has playmaking problems outside of Murray/Jovic and although I wouldn't call Lavine a playmaker, he can at least help there is a little, Caruso does not need a letter of introduction, they get one of the best defenders in the game and Craig toughness and depth on the Wing

Murray/AC
KCP/Brawn/Strawther
Lavine/Watson
Gordon/Craig/Cancar
Jokic/FA


BULLS
In:MPJ/Nnaji/Jackson Out:Lavine/Caruso/Craig

We've been hearing from Bulls fans all year that they love to move Zach, they need to shoot, size and get younger...
This business gives them a little of that.

White/Jackson/Carter
Ayo/Lonzo
P.Williams/Terry
MPJ/Nnaji/Philips
Vuc/Draft

Thought? who should add what?

Seems way too good for Denver.

How big would you say the gap is? I mean, can it be fixed? Maybe a future FRP?

Part of Denver’s success has been due to how large they are when MPJ is playing at the 3. Going from that to being undersized at the position hurts a ton. I don’t think it’d be good to take a chance on Lavine’s health either (even though MPJ is as big of a risk).

There’s probably a dumbed down version of this of Nnaji+minor value for Craig and Carter that works better for both teams.

They cant aggregate salaries to match lavine because they are in 2nd apron

The problem is that Lavine is now considered injury prone while making a lot of money. In case you're ignoring the reality, MPJ in 6 seasons has played 0, 9, 55, 61, 62 and 81 games, check the math, injury prone for the same length contract. Just for a little less money.

I like swapping 2 guards for one and getting size for the PF position, Nnaji adds more size, and Jackson expiring good.

Apparently DEN can't trade a pick forever so my initial idea of swapping their next pick to the PORT pick is NG.
