Memphis trade Ja Morant and 3rd pick.
Kings trade LaVine, Devin Carter, 7th pick and 2027 first round pick.
Kings take shot on Ja and take Caleb Wilson.
Memphis gets out of Ja contract into shorter LaVine, gets a PG in draft such as Flemings and adds a good first round pick for next year.

Love Wilson for the Kings - it would be worth it for them to get a foundational piece and re-tool around Morant / Sabonis while he develops.
The Grizzlies have a good recent track record of player development and may try to continue to stockpile picks like OKC. I like the idea of the pairing of Flemings & Edey putting constant pressure at the rim / in the paint to open up everything else.
If I'm the Kings I try and offer Monk, DeRozan, #7, and their '31 MIN unprotected 1st instead for Morant and #3. That way SAC is only adding around +23m for the '27-28 season and MEM can flip DeRozan for value to a team that needs to save on the 15.74m non-guaranteed portion of his contract.
SAC depth:
Morant / Carter / Vet Min FA
LaVine / Clifford / Plowden
Hunter / #34 pick / Vet Min FA
Murray / Wilson #3 pick / #45 pick
Sabonis / Raynaud / Cardwell
(Assume waive/trade DeRozan and waive Caldwell-Pope)
MEM depth:
Flemings #7 pick / Jerome / Pippen / Clayton
Coward / Monk / Spencer
Wells / Jackson
Aldama / Cenac #16 pick / Hendricks
Edey / FA / #32 pick
CHA get Giannis Antetokounmpo & Derrick White
> Giannis surrounded by shooting would be lethal. Derrick White brings defense at the backcourt to cover Lamelo and Coby. Giannis might not prefer Charlotte as a destination but this line up just really makes sense and can make noise in the east
Pg Ball/Coby
Sg D White/James/Branham
Sf Knueppel/Green/McNeely
Pf Giannis/Salaun
Ce Kalkbrenner/Diabate
BOS get Myles Turner, Miles Bridges & Tre Mann
> brings in frontcourt help they need
Pg Pritchard/Mann/Harper Jr
Sg Brown/Shiermann
Sf Tatum/Gonzales
Pf Bridges/Walsh
Ce Turner/Queta
MIL get Brandon Miller, Grant Williams, Sam Hauser, Luka Garza, 3 1sts from CHA, 1st from BOS, pick swap from CHA & 2 2nds from BOS
> starts the rebuild with plenty of assets and a rising star in Brandon Miller
Pg Rollins/Porter Jr
Sg Green/Trent Jr/Harris
Sf Miller/Hauser
Pf Kuzma/Dieng/Williams
Ce Portis/Garza/Sima

Lmaoooo Morant is one of the worst contracts in the league. Memphis would have to give up picks just to move off of him, let alone have the Nets give up their best rookie and the #6 pick.
Atlanta get Domantas Sabonis & Russell Westbrook
- Move Jalen Johnson at SF and play 2 bigs with Okongwu and Sabonis. Westbrook to backup Johnson as the playmaker off the bench
Sacramento get Jonathan Kuminga & Zacharrie Risacher + 2028 1st round pick lotto protected
Kings and Kuminga have been wanting each other. Kings also get a chance at Risacher and this opens up the opportunity for Raynaud to be their c moving forward
Draft Kingston Flemings
Derozan, Monk and Lavine up for trade also
