Celtics need more inside pressence for upcoming season, so How bout this one: Celtics trade their 1st round pick alongside a future 1st round pick swap and Sam Hauser to Mavs for Daniel Gafford and a future 2nd rounder.
Mavs will get more reliable shooting as well as youth
Celtics will get their big man to play 24 minutes alongside 24 from Queta.

SAC - UTA
Assume Acuff Jr. does not fall to the Kings and they are not enamored with the other guards in their draft range. Also assume UTA does not make a deal for Dybantsa and takes Peterson at #2.
Kings receive: George, Sensabaugh, Williams
Jazz receive: #7, Monk
Kings waive DeRozan (possibly stretch the $10m guaranteed portion over 3 years) to save cap space.
Sacramento depth:
George / Carter / FA
LaVine / Clifford / Williams
Hunter / Sensabaugh / #45
Murray / #34 / FA
Sabonis / Raynaud / Cardwell
Utah depth:
Collier / Brown Jr. #7 / FA
Peterson #2 / Monk / Konchar
Markkanen / Bailey / Mykhailiuk
Jackson Jr / FA / FA
Kessler (Re-sign) / Filipowski / FA
Kings take some of the risk of #7 being a bust out of the equation and land George, who had a breakout season but will be getting paid soon. They save cap space on Monk's '27-'28 salary and don't have to pay the rookie scale contract for #7.
With Markkanen, Jackson Jr., and Kessler likely under long term large contracts, the Jazz could opt to smooth out their cap hits by having Peterson and Brown Jr. (or whoever they would take at #7) on 4 year rookie deals. It may not make sense to pay / keep George if Peterson is going to be a star offensive player.

Utah won't trade George for that.

Trading for Morant is a gamble, but a new environment might just be what he needs. The talent is still there.

I wouldn't touch Booker on that contract and sure wouldn't give that kind of value.

Memphis trade Ja Morant and 3rd pick.
Kings trade LaVine, Devin Carter, 7th pick and 2027 first round pick.
Kings take shot on Ja and take Caleb Wilson.
Memphis gets out of Ja contract into shorter LaVine, gets a PG in draft such as Flemings and adds a good first round pick for next year.

Love Wilson for the Kings - it would be worth it for them to get a foundational piece and re-tool around Morant / Sabonis while he develops.
The Grizzlies have a good recent track record of player development and may try to continue to stockpile picks like OKC. I like the idea of the pairing of Flemings & Edey putting constant pressure at the rim / in the paint to open up everything else.
If I'm the Kings I try and offer Monk, DeRozan, #7, and their '31 MIN unprotected 1st instead for Morant and #3. That way SAC is only adding around +23m for the '27-28 season and MEM can flip DeRozan for value to a team that needs to save on the 15.74m non-guaranteed portion of his contract.
SAC depth:
Morant / Carter / Vet Min FA
LaVine / Clifford / Plowden
Hunter / #34 pick / Vet Min FA
Murray / Wilson #3 pick / #45 pick
Sabonis / Raynaud / Cardwell
(Assume waive/trade DeRozan and waive Caldwell-Pope)
MEM depth:
Flemings #7 pick / Jerome / Pippen / Clayton
Coward / Monk / Spencer
Wells / Jackson
Aldama / Cenac #16 pick / Hendricks
Edey / FA / #32 pick
