4 team trade Sun's, Pistons, Thunder, T-Wolves let me know what y'all think to me this is fair, but I’m a Thunder fan so I'm sure I'm being bias here. which teams say yes and who says no

Suns get Schroder, OKC 2nd round if needed
Lose Warren

They get a starting PG which they need. And a 2nd round pick if they won't do just a player swap. They are both 24 the both average bout the same in points Warrenton 19.6 Schroeder 19.4 Schroder averaged 4.9 more assists which they need a playmaker. Warren averaged 2 more rebounds. The Suns would be losing a lil defense while gaining better playmaking which they need to me it's an even swap. But they get a 2nd if needed.

Pistons get Taj Gibson (exp), Warren, Ferguson OKC 2nd round pick
Lose Griffin

They get 2 young assets one already proven in Warren and a young prospect in Ferguson with good potential. They get cheaper and back under the luxury tax this season and open up about 17mil next year for FA they could then get Leuer and Galloway off the books for next season and be able to offer a 30-34 mil contract. Plus a 2nd round pick.

Thunder get Butler
Lose Schroder, Ferguson, Abrines, 1st round pick, and 1 or 2 2nd round picks

Thunder get another all star and a better attempt at a big 3 or 4 if you count Adams (I do) . If what Butler says is true and he just wants to win OKC is a good place to try with Westbrook and George. OKC would be able to resign him if he will because they would have bird rights so they can go over luxury tax to keep him. They would prob be the most expensive team though.

T-Wolves get Griffin, Abrines, OKC next available 1st round pick
Lose Butler, Gibson

They get an All-star, a young 3 point shooter with an expiring contract, and a 1st instead of letting Butler walk and getting nothing to me that's a good deal. They are losing Gibson who is getting older and his contract is expiring, but thunder throw in the 1st since they are losing Gibson. if they were losing just Butler they wouldn't be getting the first.

OKC sign Brewer and Acy to minimum contracts
OKC lineup
Westbrook/ Felton/
Butler/ Roberson/ Brewer/ Diallo
George/ TLC/ Nader
Grant/ Patterson/ Acy
Adams/ Noel
Thunder would compete with Warriors if they met in playoffs it would not be an easy series for Warriors. If they improved the bench a lil as the season goes and everyone is healthy they could beat them.

Schroder and Abrines have almost not value, Ferguson has minimal value at best, and that first is like 6 years out. You’re just spreading a hugely one sided trade by only slightly bad trades for 3 teams rather than 1 extremely bad trade for 1 team.

So many moving parts to this deal, I'm only going to address the 2 main parts (teams) as to why I don't think this would/ could happen.

For the T-wolves, they are not getting enough for these 2 players. Griffin has had difficulty finishing a season uninjured and he has a Max contract deal. Abrines isn't bad, but he's a long way from proving himself an above average player yet. Finally, the next 1st rounder available for OKC to give is in 2024, that doesn't entice teams that are trying to get something of value so they can win now or in the near future.

As for OKC, that would be a win this year or bust lineup. After this year, Butler would require a Max contract (3 players on one team with Max contracts), Noel will move on or at the very least, require a realistic salary, if so then we have to find a replacement at the league minimum, not to mention Felton is not the person you want driving that 2nd unit against the elite teams in the playoffs, so we would have to find an experienced guard to sign at the league minimum for that position as well.
All that while acquiring the highest team salary and luxury tax in the history of the NBA, not just this year, but for at least the next 4 years.
Ownership would actually eventually lose money and have to find a way to dismantle the team, then start over from scratch.
