Suns send: Kevin Durant, Jusuf Nurkic, 2031 first, four second round picks
Suns receive: Marcus Smart, JJJ, Walker Kessler, Grant Williams

Jazz send: Walker Kessler
Jazz receive: 2031 Suns first, two second round picks

Cavs send: Jarrett Allen
Cavs receive: Luke Kennard, #7 pick

Grizzlies send: Marcus Smart, JJJ, Luke Kennard, #7 pick
Grizzlies receive: Kevin Durant, Jarrett Allen

Hornets send: Grant Williams
Hornets receive: Jusuf Nurkic, two seconds

Technical note: The Grant Williams-Jusuf Nurkic part is technically a second, separate trade due to second apron restrictions.

Suns' rotation after:

PG: Smart
SG: Beal
SF: Booker
PF: JJJ
C: Walker Kessler

Bench: Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale, Grant Williams

Grizzlies rotation after:

PG: Ja
SG: Bane
SF: Vince Williams
PF: Kevin Durant
C: Jarrett Allen

Bench: GG Jackson, Brandon Clarke

Why for Hornets: Get a center as insurance for Mark Williams and get two seconds
Why for Grizz: Massively improve offense and go all-in
Why for Cavs: Break up the two big lineup and take a step back to evaluate how good Garland and Allen are.
Why for Jazz: Trade a center who they don't seem to love for a high variance draft pick
Why for Suns: Add three quality role players and one guy (Grant Williams) who may fit okay with small ball lineups with JJJ at PF.

to make it closer to salary neutral, send Cody Martin anywhere that can take him, or Nick Richards for a 2nd.

Wouldn't shock me if we just held onto Grant as a rare culture guy that actually likes Charlotte (it's his hometown), but I would consider Nurkic to fill a bigger need.

Anytime you have take a step back and evaluate as the basis for a team to make a trade, that team isn't going to make the trade. You can still evaluate without trading one of your better players.

Cavs are not trading Jarrett Allen for a draft pick + filler contract. He's been their best player thru the first 4 games of the Orlando series and is probably the best current fit they have next to Mitchell.

Now if Mitchell doesn't extend and they decide to re-tool around Mobley/Garland, then I think an Allen trade could make sense.
