Knicks get: Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic
Knicks trade: Julius Randle, Evan Fournier, Cam Reddish and 4 future firsts

Lakers get: Julius Randle, Evan Fournier and Mike Conley
Lakers trade: Russell Westbrook, Talen Horter-Tucker and 2 future firsts

Jazz get: Russell Westbrook, Talen Horter-Tucker, Cam Reddish and 6 future firsts
Jazz trade: Donovan Mitchell, Bojan Bogdanovic and Mike Conley

Knicks do this to acquire an all star in Mitchell without having to use RJ Barrett as trade bait and instead using there gluttony of draft picks available (second rounders or first round pick swaps could be added to sweeten if necessary)

Lakers get out of Westbrooks contract and acquire 3 solid starters to fit alongside Lebron and Davis as a starting 5. Although not perfect, the overall fit of the 3 fits better than just having Westbrook.

Jazz do this to be OKC 2.0 and hoard some draft picks. Also makes them very bad for the Wenbayama sweepstakes. Gets out of long term money and gives them flexibility come 2023 free agency.
