Chicago Bulls Receive: C Deandre Ayton

Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Zach LaVine, G Chris Paul

Phoenix Suns Receive: F Kevin Durant, C Nikola Vucevic

Want to get nuts? Let’s get nuts. This blockbuster would cause the internet to collapse. The time-space continuum might rupture. Does it make any sense?

That depends on the context. Here, we’re assuming Zach LaVine is forcing a sign-and-trade out of the Windy City.

We’re also assuming that Ayton and the Suns can’t mend their relationship and that Durant is requesting a trade from the Brooklyn Nets following Irving’s departure.

In other words, none of the teams involved here have any real leverage. If they’re all forced to make trades, why not make them with each other?
