Some new ideas:
Powell +THJ for Batum
Why for the Mavs? Long-term planning. You get off Powell´s contract. Who knows maybe Batum actually proves to be useful. The guy is "only" 31 years old and was once considered one of the better defenders in the league, but that would just be a bonus.
Why for the Hornets? THJ is an upgrade over all their SGs. You can argue they don´t even have a starting SG. They only have Zeller at C and only for another year, so Powell fills a void, whether he starts or is a back-up.
Snell for Wright
Why for the Mavs? Duh.
Why for the Pistons? They only have Derrick Rose at PG, but they have FIVE nominal SGs under contract for 2021 with the focus on Kennard, Brown and Mykhailiuk. So they get a veteran back-up PG. Maybe former defensive college standout SG Khyri Thomas could be a cheap target, too.
Kleber for Okogie + Layman + #17
Why for the Mavs? You get another free shot in the middle of the 1st round. You get a potential young defender in Okogie and Layman is useful for 10-12 minutes, more importantly insignificant enough money-wise to carry until 2022. Kleber can be replaced in FA, for example with MLE Saric (or Bertans).
Why for Minnesota? They´ll probably select Edwards, which means there will hardly be any minutes for Okogie. You already have enough young players, so giving up #17 is not a problem. You severely lack front-court depth, even if you re-sign Juancho. Kleber seems a good fit next to either KAT or James Johnson.
And now the kaboof magic trick.
These trades all work independent from each other. So the new roster would be....
Doncic/Brunson/#18
Snell/Curry/Okogie
DFS/Batum/Layman
Saric (MLE) / #17 / #31
Porzingis/WCS/Boban
EDIT: Ah I completely forgot about Justin Jackson. Well he either gets added to a trade, released or we stash Pokusevski (#17) or Bolmaro (#31) overseas for a season.
And for 2021 you are already a piss-easy Jake Layman trade away from Giannis money, while adding Saric and the #17 pick.
