I used Fanspo to try to make sure this works under the CBA rules, and it says it does, but who knows. (For example, the Heat, as a 2nd apron team are not allowed to send out multiple smaller salaries to bring in one larger salary). I also realize that 4-team trades almost NEVER happen in the NBA, but - this is all just for fun, so humor me.
Who says no?
Miami Heat get: Lauri Markkenen
Chicago Bulls get: Tyler Herro
LA Lakers get: Demar DeRozan (sign and trade from Chicago)
Utah Jazz get: Rui Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, DeAngelo Russell (expiring contract), 2025 1st round pick from Portland (via Chicago) protected 1-14, 2026 1st round pick via Chicago, 2029 pick via Miami (unprotected) 2031 pick via Miami (unprotected)
So you're basically trading Lauri for Knecht, Hachimura and 4 future firsts. I would rather get a better young player back, but looking around the league, I'm just not sure who that is right now.
