[Sacramento Kings GM (Steven)]

Kings receive: 

Kelly Olynyk 12.89 12.89 12.89 (2025)
Saddiq Bey 4.56 (RFA)
Troy Brown Jr. .69 .69 .69 .69 (2026)
2024 Warriors 1st
2024 Raptors 1st
2025 Raptors 1st

Raptors receive: 
Mikal Bridges 14.51 14.51 14.51 14.51 (2026)
2023 Raptors 2nd
2024 Raptors 2nd

There will be a subsequent sign and trade coming as well. Toronto had to complete this deal to clear the roster spots. 

Sacramento accepts. I've been looking for a haul for Bridges, and getting three potential lottery picks was too much to refuse. Plus I feel like I can get more assets for Bey and Olynyk. Pleasure doing work, big Perk. 

[Toronto Raptors (Perk)]

I accept. Hoping a cost controlled allstar can really boost my team up. I love Bey and hate to see him go, also felt like one pick too many but if I continue to build my future firsts won't be lottery (at least I hope so). Olynyk can be a beast but part of me wonders why season after season he gets dealt.... so I had to fulfill the prophecy.

Roster capped me a bit but I think I improve over multiple seasons here. Good talks Kings!

[New York Knicks (jsood)]

Approve. Like this for Kings, that is quite the haul for Mikal Bridges. Good chance 2 of those 3 firsts are or at least close to lotto. But Mikal immediately fits into Raptors core and helps them improve. Now he'll have to figure out how he'll fill out the rest of his team.

[Heat GM (Bryan)]

Veto.

I think this is a prime KD type package, not Mikal Bridges package.
Mikal is a VERY good piece to own, but this is a gross overpay for a team struggling to win 10 games on a consistent level.

[Golden State Warriors (Caleb)]

Approve

I don’t like this for Perk man it seems like a lot of capital for a guy who is very valuable but I’m not sure has 40 point upside.

But when I think about it Kelly Troy and Bey don’t have a ton of stand alone value and perk’s team is good enough that he probably is at worst back end of lotto. I also still expect to be in playoffs as well.

So what 3 Mid/late teen firsts and then 3 players who don’t have much value on their own. I’ll approve I just think it’s an overpay.

Shout out to Steve and what he’s building in Sac

[San Antonio Spurs (Chris)]

Pass I guess, but this is the closest I've come to a veto in quite some time. I love mikal, but he's better IRL than fantasy, and there's a very high chance that he doesn't retain the offensive role he found in Brooklyn; look at the roster he was playing with. Pretty bad overpay here Perk, regardless of whether those picks end up being lotto or not.

[Chicago Bulls (Charlie)]

This is just really bad and terrible process from Perk. Choosing to rebuild and tank with those picks would yield far better long term results. Toronto might be a playoff team but there's no shot at real contention with that current roster. Doesn't even really matter who the player is he's receiving. Mikal is a dude but he's not even an established stud. I don't think this is vetoable since it won't upset the balance of the league and destroy the team beyond saving, but damn, bro tried. Patience is key and will always be king.
