I snatched this list off of Twitter but I thought it was cool so I’m posting it here. It shows the prominent players that are expected to be moved this off-season and the teams that have the best odds of getting them. Not so sure the Lakers would let LeBron leave and then sign Kyrie…

LeBron James: Mavericks
Damian Lillard: Heat
James Harden: Rockets
Kyrie Irving: Lakers
Russell Westbrook: Knicks
Trae Young: Lakers
Chris Paul: Spurs
Draymond Green: Jazz
Fred VanVleet: Suns
Khris Middleton: Thunder
Nikola Vucevic: Celtics
Brook Lopez: Rockets
Al Horford: Hawks
D’Angelo Russell: Suns
Dillon Brooks: Heat
DeAndre Ayton: Mavericks

I will say my opinion in all of that predictions.

Letting Lebron go, and getting Kyrie for the Lakers will be a disaster. Kyrie wants Lebron to his teammate, so I don't think that this will happen.
Dame on the Heat is for me has a low chance to happen, and it will also depend on what will the Blazers do with their draft pick which is either Brandon Miller, or Scoot Henderson.
Harden to Rockets? Many are speculating that him and Jaylen Brown might go to the Rockets, but with Brown eligible for a supermax deal since he joined the all-NBA team, he might stay. Harden might not want to go there and play alongside youngsters. We don't know.
Westbrook to the Knicks? I'd prefer him staying with the Clippers because PG13, and Kawhi are both injury prone, and he can still a good offensive player like we saw in Games 3 & 4 when he carried his team.
Trae to Lakers? I don't see this happening. I don't know who will the Lakers be giving to the Hawks. Reaves on a sign & trade + picks? I don't know.
Green to the Jazz? It's not impossible, but I don't see him going there. It would be better if he just stay on the Warriors, take a pay cut, and get another title again alongside Klay, and Steph.
VanVleet to the Suns? With CP3 getting waived, this is a good choice if it will happen. The Suns will have a good PG in Vanvleet who can shoot threes as well.
Middleton to the Thunder? I don't see it coming, but who knows. Giannis wants Middleton to stay with the Bucks, and play together.
Vuc to the Celtics? With how disappointing the Bulls are in the last few years, I guess it's time for them to break the trio of Lavine, Derozan, and Vuc, and start rebuilding.
Brook Lopez to Rockets? Maybe? I don't see him going there as well.
Horford to Hawks? A reunion, eh? Cheesy

He's a former Hawk alongside Korver, Millsap, and Teague way back a few years ago. I don't think that it's good for the Celtics to let him go.
Russell to the Suns? I don't thing so. He will just be a bench if he goes there because Booker will mostly be their shooting guard. Russell is also a liability in terms of defense.
Dillon "DYNASTY" Brooks to the Heat? I'd rather see him with either on the Warriors or the Lakers Tongue

Kidding aside, he's a good defender though, but his attitude is out of this world. He must change his attitude first before teams sign him.
Ayton to the Mavericks? Mavericks are one of the worst teams in defense, and with them acquiring Ayton would be a big boost for them defensively. It will be a good thing, but who will the Mavericks be trading is the question.

Perkins will say anything to stay relevant. Harden to the Lakers is not really realistic - they don't have enough cap space or tradeable assets. LeBron is also at all probability not getting traded.

Kendrick Perkins is an absolute shit when it comes to predicting, and also in analyzing.
