Insane 5-Team Trade Idea Sends Multiple Superstars to New Homes

Multiple superstars around the NBA could be on the move this NBA trade deadline. There have been trade rumors about players like Anthony Davis, Trae Young, and even Giannis Antetokounmpo. The only problem is that with the new CBA, it is becoming more and more difficult to trade stars on large contracts. 

That didn’t stop Brett Siegel of Clutch Points from trying to put some of the NBA’s biggest stars in a new home. Siegel proposed a 5-team NBA trade that would send multiple stars to new teams. His trade idea looked like this: “Atlanta Hawks receive: F/C Anthony Davis, G/F Zach LaVine, and G D'Angelo Russell.

Dallas Mavericks receive: F/C Domantas Sabonis, F Zaccharie Risacher, G Luke Kennard, CLE 2026 1st-round pick (via ATL swap), ATL/UTA/CLE 2028 1st-round swap (More favorable of ATL and less favorable of CLE/UTA), BOS 2026 2nd-round pick (via ATL)

Sacramento Kings receive: G Trae Young, F Jonathan Kuminga, F/C Kristaps Porzingis.

Golden State Warriors receive: C Nic Claxton, G/F Klay Thompson, G Keon Ellis, SAC 2026 2nd-round pick (via SAC)

Brooklyn Nets receive: G/F Moses Moody, G Buddy Hield, C Trayce Jackson-Davis, GSW 2027 1st-round pick (top-8 protected, via GSW; if not conveyed, becomes 2028 1st-round pick unprotected)."

This is a wild deal. Not only does it have the ability to put a lot of players in situations that may be better fits, but it also arguably improves every team involved in the deal. 

Unfortunately, a deal like this is nearly impossible. Getting five teams to agree to a trade is difficult as it is, but having multiple franchise stars be part of the deal will only make it harder.
