Lakers Receive Kyrie Irving & Seth Curry
Lakers Send Russell Westbrook
Why? Well its no secret the Lakers have been shopping him but his contract has made it difficult to move him. And then we get a Lebron / Kyrie reunion. Kyrie is the scorer the Lakers need right now. Plus you get a great shooter in Curry!
Rockets receives Russell Westbrook and a 1st from 76ers
Rockets send John Wall
Why? The Rockets have voiced they would take his contract on for Wall as long as they get a first round pick.

76ers receive James Harden
76ers send Ben Simmons, Seth Curry & a 1st rd pick
Why? Morey is high on Harden and Simmons wants out. He hasnt played a single game this season. And this deal has been floating around the league as of late.

Nets receive John Wall & Ben Simmons
Nets send James Harden & Kyrie Irving
Why? James Harden's heart is no longer with this team. He always wanted to join Morey in Philly but logistically was impossible when he was a free agent. And he's not happy with the current state of the Nets especially with the Kyrie issues. Now the best part of this deal is now the Nets can move on from Part time Kyrie and have Wall instead who is currently healthy and can still ball. Wall and Kyrie's contracts both have 1 more season after this one so its not like Brooklyn is taking on a longer deal here.
Thoughts?
