Utah - LAC - Milwaukee

Utah trade: Collins, 2nd worse of 2027 LAL/MINN/CLE/UTAH 1st
Utah receive: Brown, Kuzma, 2031 MIL top 4, then unprotected 1st

Milwaukee trade: Kuzma, 2031 MIL top 4 protected, then unprotected 1st
Milwaukee receive: Powell

LAC trade: Powell, Brown
LAC receive: Collins, 2nd worse of 2027 LAL/MINN/CLE/UTAH 1st

Why for Utah: get a better first for eating kuzma's money
Why for Milwaukee: get a all star caliber guard to pair w/ Giannis
Why for LAC: get a starting PF and a 1st for powell whom they likely wont extend/keep beyond this year

I’d probably do this and get a player with Utah ties.

I don't think LAC would be interested in this, but I like the Utah and Milwaukee legs just fine. However, I think Milwaukee will get more bang for their buck if they trade a 31 swap and a 32 1st. They should not do that, but it could result in more rotation players.

Terrible for the Bucks.

Can’t give up two valuable 1sts for expiring 32 year old Norm Powell, he’s not worth that much. Bucks don’t want or need John Collins.

Just one first, not 2. Basically its 2031 top 4 protected 1st. If it doesnt convey then utah gets 2032 first

I think this works pretty well for all teams. The question is whether the Clippers are more willing to offer up (or resign) Bogdanovic or Powell. Powell is clearly the better player. But Bogie is a capable starter or sixth man, makes $4 million less, and has a team option for the same amount after this year, which is team friendly for his level of production.

If we are trading that pick I’d prefer a young core piece, ideally SF. I think if we bring back Rollins we are pretty set at the 1 & 2 but huge gap at the 3

Potenital nr 1 pick when Bucks suck for an expiring Powell? Needs a lot more protections, top10, then 2nds
