Celtics OUT: Jrue Holiday, Payton Pritchard, Kristaps Porziņģis, Derrick White, 2 future BOS FRPs
Celtics IN: LaMelo Ball, Lonzo Ball, Patrick Williams, 32.5M$ of cap relief
Celtics get younger with an additional AllStar. PW, regardless his bad contract, could fit well in the system

Trail Blazers OUT: Anfernee Simons, 2 SRP
Trail Blazers IN: Jrue Holiday, 2 SRP
Deal already done

Hornets OUT: LaMelo Ball
Hornets IN: Nikola Vučević, Payton Pritchard, #8, #12, 2 future BOS FRPs
It was rumored that LaMelo could ask to be traded. This is a pretty good package for a rebuilding team.

Bulls OUT: Lonzo Ball, Patrick Williams, Nikola Vučević, #12
Bulls IN: Kristaps Porziņģis, Anfernee Simons, #19
Bulls are targeting 2026 Free Agency and here are getting two good players under expiring contracts, just dropping 7 spots in this year draft.

Nets OUT: #8, #19
Nets IN: Derrick White
In view of the poor incoming free agency, Brooklyn is trading for one of the best 2way players in the league.

Why, given their current situation, would the Nets trade their 2 highest draft picks in the Marks era for a veteran, super role player? They're not winning anything this year with White, and the plan for the next 12.5 months is to amass young talent.

The bigger the trade the worse it always is for the Bulls.

They trade DOWN to get a higher priced, more fragile Porzingas
they give up their 2 best defensive players and it's not a strong list behind them
They get Simons who you know is going to want to put up points to get his next big contract

Awful every which way

Then sign Liangelo out of the Amazon Warehouse. Trade for Bol Bol.

Hey at least your team doesn't give away it's entire back court for a pair of balls.

Please no

no interest whatsoever

This seems like it misses the entire part of "rationale for all parties involved", except Boston.

Absolutely not lol
