Sacramento trade: Derozan
Sacramento receive: Clarke, Martin

Memphis trade: Clarke, 2nd(s)
Memphis receive: fake 2nd

Atlanta trade: 2nd(s)
Atlanta receive: Gafford (into TPE)

Dallas trade: Gafford, Martin
Dallas receive: Derozan, 2nd(s) from ATL + Memphis

Why for Sacramento: add 2 defensive forwards
Why for Memphis: clear room for JJJ reneg
Why for Atlanta: fill C hole
Why for Dallas: add a scorer and restock 2nds cupboard

I see Clarke as a limited backup center, can't imagine he can play next to Sabonis. I'd just cut the other teams out and add the 2nds from Sac. Then move JV for other needs.

I don't dislike him, but if the option is Gafford - a few 2nds or him, I'm taking Gafford.

Now if we could turn Martin into Naji using those 2nds + some sac 2nds, I'd be fine with Clarke. And I'd still be okay turning JV into Vando. Kings need significant defensive overhaul, it's going to take multiple pieces.

Sabonis/Clarke
Naji/Vando
Keegan/Laravia
LaVine/Monk
Keon/Carter

Not my favorite, but that's at least a start to something for next year. 7/10 can play defense.

Gafford for only a 2nd?

Sac should be trying to get Pippen in the deal.

What we saw from Memphis is that Clarke is an underrated rotation player for them, unless they rebuild, I see them keeping him.
