Nets receive Josh Okogie, #4, #29
Hornets receive Grayson Allen, #8, #10
Suns get Mark Williams #19, #22, #26

Suns get their center and move back into a range where they should still have swings on useful play now pieces.

Hornets grab a starting two guard and two swings at the bat in the lottery.

Nets move up for their guy Ace Bailey.

If Charlotte is really considering Kon or Tre, they should do this instead. Though the inclusion of Mark Williams is always controversial here.
Still hate this concept for the Suns. Just get one good prospect.
And Nets make out too well on value. They owe more.

The Nets would only be moving up four spots here.

19 and 26 should be enough if they are also taking back $7.5 mil of salary to help the other teams out.

I agree. This is for sure 1 and possibly 2 extra picks for the Nets in this deal.

I will be fair here and put in the work. Let me make a meaningful and fair edit. I just removed #19. The Nets would be giving up 2 other firsts in this loaded draft in #22 and #26 to only move up 4 spots. The player in the 4th spot is not Cooper Flagg, Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, etc. So 2 extra 1sts thats are valuable enough to be packaged to move up several spots on their own could get the Suns to #14-17 if they had another player in mind above 22 and 26 and that other team wanted 2 stabs at the talent hoping one hits (more of a gamble at that stage of the round).

I tend to agree with Chuck that Nets are light in value in the OP. Ace Bailey is their target and he has a huge ceiling. Moving up from 8 to 4 costs as lot in the NBA draft. At least I think it will.

Ideally you should indicate where the picks are coming from, I don't want to have to look up which team has which picks in order to figure out if the value is fair.
