Trade Explanation
Taking Wiggins into cap space for just the No. 16 pick is a bargain for Philadelphia. The 29-year-old wing and 2014 No. 1 pick is under contract through 2026-27 for $84.7 million (player option on the final season). That's a significantly lower price than George (almost 34) will command to stay with the Clippers.

Trade Malcolm Brogdon & Robert Williams III & Pick No. 40 to GSW + PHI for Pick No. 16 & Kevon Looney (to be waived)
-
Trade Explanation
Getting another first (No. 16 from Philadelphia) may be the best return it can get for Brogdon and Williams. Brogdon, 31, doesn't fit the team's timeline and has a $22.3 million expiring contract. Williams is coming off a knee injury and has two years left on his deal ($25.7-$28.9 million, depending on incentives). The trade exceptions ($22.5 million and $4.4 million) could help the team make additional moves, but the budget crisis would be solved. After the three-way deal, Portland would drop well below the luxury tax with a projected payroll in the $152 million range.

Trade Andrew Wiggins & Kevon Looney (to be waived) to PHI + POR for Malcolm Brogdon & Robert Williams III
-
Trade Explanation
The Warriors may not have a perfect solution, which means taking on some risk. Best case, Williams is a still-young (27 before next season) big who is a noted defender with playoff experience at a reasonable price—a steal if he pans out. If not, his contract is movable as a 2025-26 expiring. Brogdon would replace Paul (almost 39), whose contract doesn't fit Lacob's financial picture. The veteran guard averaged 15.7 points per game while shooting 41.2 percent from three-point range on a terrible Blazers squad. Brogdon shot 44.4 percent from deep for the Boston Celtics the year prior. He has good size at 6'4" and would fill out a backcourt with Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Gary Payton II (assuming he opts in) and Thompson.
