All four NBA conference finals teams this year are here because of win-win trades they've made with one another. The first came nearly a decade ago. In 2017, the Indiana Pacers traded Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis.

For the first time since the 2011-12 season, two of their players were selected as All-NBA selections. Jalen Brunson made the second team and Karl-Anthony Towns the third team. For Brunson, it was his second consecutive second-team selection, while Towns has been on the third team three times now.

When it happened the trade was considered a salary dump by Minnesota, but it turns out they may be better with Randle.
