OKC put together a good hard out playoff team with these 2 trades. Are They fair and how much better will it make OKC?

OKC NYK

OKC get Morris, Smith Jr. (wants traded)
NYK get Schroder, Muscala, 2020 Den 1st, and a 2nd.

NYK get help at PG they have plenty of PF to step up and take Morris position and add muscala who can stretch the floor. They get a couple of picks as well.

OKC downgrades at PG off the bench but DSjr could still be a really good bench PG if he gets in a better situation. They add Morris which really helps depth when Gallo is out injured or resting he can step up and start, but he can be a good player off the bench for them.

OKC SAC

OKC get Ariza
SAC get Roberson (exp), 2023 Mia 1st, and a 2nd if needed.

OKC get a good playoff wing to have. Ariza can be helpful this year in playoffs then moved in offseason if OKC is ready to start tanking.

SAC don't need Ariza. Ariza is a playoff player and unfortunately SAC isn't going to make it this year, i was thinking and hoping they would at the begging of the season. But they get an expiring and a 1st roumd pick idk if they will get much more than that.

After these 2 trades OKC lineup
Paul/ Smith Jr.
SGA/ Diallo/ Burton/ Dort (2-way contract)
Ferguson/ Ariza/ Nader
Gallinari/ Morris/ Bazley/ Hervey (2-way)
Adams/ Noel/ Patton

They can sign a PG for depth around buyout time before the playoffs. Ariza could start over Ferguson, i just think Ariza would make the bench better than Ferguson could. A lot of the players on the bench can play multiple positions so they don't have to be where i put them.

They would have a strong bench which you need in playoffs. Multiple scoring options which again you need. This team may not be a contender, but they would give any top team a hard 1st round.

Asdenam then they have to pay him in the offseason or let him walk. With Ariza They can trade him in the offseason to a contender when they are ready to rebuild. And he is a better proven playoff player.
