Keep in mind Tom Hanks, I´m just trying to get close, not making an NBA legal trade.
Hawks:
1) Young + Kennard for AD
2) Porzingis + Risacher + Kennard + 1st for AD
Celtics:
Can´t even get close with Simons as the base contract. No you are not getting Tatum or Brown.
Nets:
MPJ + Mann + Traore (any of their rookie PGs) + 1st for AD
Hornets:
Bridges + Sexton + Green +1st (hey look Grant Williams is still in Charlotte) for AD
Bulls:
Vucevic + Collins + White + 1st for AD
That is probably the pipedream trade. You get three expiring contracts and one is a guard you could potentially re-sign or shuffle along to Houston or Minnesota.
Cavs:
They not trading Mobley, Mitchell or Garland and after that it just becomes dumb.
Mavs:
If we could get rid of AD via 2-3 contracts, we´d have some major trade flexibility.
Nuggets:
Nope.
Pistons:
Ivey + Harris (expiring) + Stewart (one year, then team option) + 1st for AD
Probably another best case scenario. Young guard, one pick and salary relief. Maybe also the most realistic option the other team would consider, as Ivey probably wants to be a #1, AD is an upgrade over Harris and Stewart is meh.
Warriors:
Can´t get there financially. Team is clicking too well. If they were struggling, they might have thrown Draymond in there with Kuminga as a last ditch effort.
Rockets:
I just throw in Russell + Klay for FVV.
You don´t trade FVV + Adams + Smith Jr. + Capela for AD to be a 6th man.
Pacers:
Not trading Siakam or Haliburton.
Clippers:
I mean that is probably another realistic win now destination.
Collins + Bogdanovic + Lopez + 1st (do they have any?) for AD
Lakers:
Only realistic trade is Doncic + Kleber for AD + Christie + 1st.
Seriously LeBron for AD is the only deal that makes sense, if Bron wants out.
Grizzlies:
KCP + Aldama + Clarke + 1st and the Grizzlies 2026 draft board for AD
Heat:
Herro + Rozier+1st for AD.
Bucks:
Can´t get there. They not trading Giannis, also wtf is that roster. How are they 4-1?
Wolves:
Combinations of Gobert + Randle + Reid get you there. Obviously this would have to be a three-way trade.
Pelicans:
Sending AD back to the Pelicans would be hilarious. A great negotiator might be able to abuse win now dinosaur Dumars
Poole + Murphy + Jones for AD + Klay
The better pipedream.
Knicks:
KAT for AD aka I got nothing here.
OKC:
Funny.
Magic:
Hmmm. Another give you pause team, but can´t get their with their salaries, since you not getting Franz or Paolo.
76ers:
PG 13 + McCain + 1st for AD. I doubt Morey does it, I would.
Suns:
Green + Brooks + 1st (do they have any?) or three 2nds for AD.
Blazers:
Grant + Thybulle + Williams + Henderson + 1st for AD + Klay.
Depends whether the Blazers think they have a last win now obligation for Lillard, very unlikely.
Kings:
Lavine + Saric + 1st for AD.
Spurs:
Thought about Fox + Barnes, but that Fox contract is wow. They must intend to use that to pair Wembanyama with a younger high priced star.
Raptors:
Quickley + Poeltl + two 1sts for AD
Jazz:
Markkanen + Anderson
Obviously no way Utah does this straight up, but maybe somehow else gives them the compensation they seek (young players + picks).
Wizards:
Middleton + McCollum + 1st for AD + Klay
That´s where we are with this.
Now you can all tell me I´m crazy, but I truly believe the combination of archaic game, injury history, age, attitude and contract makes him undesireable for the large majority of the league.
I love the Lakers suggestion but no GM in their right mind would make that ridiculous trade.
I do like the the pistons suggestion though and think that could get some traction.
