The Raptors sent Dragic in the first round of 2022, receiving Thaddeus Young, Drew Ubanks and the 2022 second-round pick (from the Pistons) from the Spurs. If the Spurs and Dragic reach a buyout, he will become a free agent, and the Lone Rangers will be one of Dragic's potential next players, along with the Bucks, Bulls and Clippers who are interested in Dragic.
3. Magic reach 1 for 3
The Magic get Dozier, Ball, a second-round pick and cash to give away another future second-round pick. The Magic will reportedly cut guard Itowan Moore to make room for a trade. It is worth mentioning that both Dozil and Pol have been reimbursed for injury seasons.

On the Nets side, Simmons finally left the 76ers, and he will compete with Durant and Irving for the championship. Simmons has reportedly been in touch with Durant and has made it clear that he likes the deal very much.
In addition, the specifics of the two first-round picks are: 2022 first-round picks (no protection, the Nets have the right to exchange it for the 2023 first round), 27-year first-round picks (two consecutive years of 1st-8th pick protection), if the protection is triggered for two consecutive years, the draft will be converted to two second-round picks and $2 million in cash in 2029.

It is worth mentioning that the Lakers, whose current record is not very satisfactory, have not moved. According to Rockets reporter Fagan, the Lakers only need to add the first round of 2027 to complete the swap between Westbrook and Wall, but the Lakers did not dial the Rockets' phone. The Lakers also negotiated a Terence-Rose deal with the Magic, but it didn't work out. Brian Windhorst reported that the Lakers had been pursuing Reddish before, and they and the Knicks had been close to reaching a deal, but ultimately failed.
