RealGM

Kings out: Monk, Derozan
Kings in: Rozier, Jett Howard, Isaac

Why for Sac? Move on from some of the roster clutter. None of these guys are long term pieces, but it helps balance the roster a bit. Rozier is traded at the deadline, or bought out.
Schroder - Keon - LaVine - Keegan - Sabonis
Carter - Nique - Jett - Jonathan Isaac - Isaac Jones - Maxime

Miami out: Rozier, Highsmith
Miami in: Goga, DeRozan

Why for Miami? Get two solid role players for basically nothing, solid 10 man rotation with defense and plenty of scoring.. Get some more room under the tax. Still stay on the 2 year plan for FA 2027
Herro - Powell - Wiggins - Ware - Bam
Davion - DeRozan - JJJ - Simone - Jovic - Goga

Orlando out: Howard, Isaac, Goga
Orlando in: Monk, Highsmith

Why for Orlando? The east is wide open this year, Orlando goes all in. Monk continues the trend of all their guys being secondary play-makers. They add a more consistent healthy wing defender over Isaac.

Suggs - Bane - Franz - Banchero - WCJ
Tyus - Monk - Black - Highsmith - Da Silva - Wagner

Yeah, I'm not a fan of DeRozan but I'd do this deal.

Monk ship has sailed with the signing of Tyus and Richardson.

Orlando loses a lot of their defensive identity for a player that doesn’t quite fit.

I don’t think the acquisition of Monk and the lost of Isaac/Goga makes Orlando better.

You know I totally forgot Orlando drafted Richardson. I'm not sure that really changes much, because if Orlando wants to win now they probably won't rely on the rookie. But long term I get it. I'll look at a better 3rd option here.

suggs/bane/tyus jones/black/richardson is a full backcourt. agree monk should go elsewhere

To piggyback off why this also doesn't work for orlando, this leave the team incredibly thin at the center position with Mo Wagner still recovering from ACL and Wendell known to take a 20-game sabbatical.

Good player to add, but wrong time.
