if we’re being objective the Nets have more pieces appealing to a rebuilding team but the Cavs are probably still going to try to compete even after moving Mitchell and the Lakers have more “win now” guys for them to try to get unless the Nets somehow decide to give up Bridges in a move. Neither team is particularly asset rich though.
The Rockets make a lot of sense since they could just swap Jalen Green for him role-wise but the money matching gets a little dicey assuming the Cavs don't want Brooks's inflated salary coming back.
Jalen/Amen/the Brooklyn picks and a 2028 first is a lot to give up for a potential Donovan rental but if they're really serious about trying to win now I can see them doing it.

Trading Buddy got us a playoff series. Some things do work in Sactown.
If Buddy was not greedy, he would still be playing in the EC playoffs with the Pacers, where he had good chemistry with the players. Now, it is highly doubtful if the Sixers would re-sign him after his disastrous showing in the playoffs. He may have to settle for a partial MLE contract now. You can't fix stupid sometimes.

This is one of the things that makes evaluating players so difficult. Trying to decide which players will add to their game can be like a crap shoot. For instance, Kawhi was primarily a spot shooter in college with very little creation and question mark when it came to his 3pt shot. His defense was his selling point. Then you see guys who show potential in all these areas and never improve any of them.
